Shopping by District
There’s so much great shopping in OKC that it’s best to tackle it one area at a time. In fact, shopping in OKC is best done by district to make sure you don’t miss anything! Look through the different areas and their offerings, then plan your attack. In these distinct, little areas throughout the city, you’ll find charming locally owned shops of all kinds, full of treasures to take home. And while this isn’t a complete list, it’s a great start to shopping throughout OKC’s districts.
Automobile Alley District
Once known as the home of OKC’s car dealerships, Automobile Alley is now a hopping gateway into downtown along Broadway Avenue from 13th Street.

Further down, the ladies can pop into Brushed, a full-service salon, and get their hair done or stop by Mode for a fresh outfit before a night out on the town. Stop by Opolis Clothing for vintage sports and local apparel. All their tees are designed and hand printed in Oklahoma.
Paseo Arts District

Nestled in the center of Western Avenue is Classen Curve and Nichols Hills Plaza, two shopping plazas featuring higher-end boutiques and fashions by exclusive designers.
West Village District
Equal parts historic and revitalized, the West Village District offers an array of shopping opportunities. Visit Sailor & the Dock, an innovative marketplace that houses multiple stores, all sharing a passionate commitment to sustainability and education.
