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.

This is where one of the cutest stationery shops, Chirps and Cheers, awaits with a curated collection of paper and gift items. Black Scintilla has great gifts, home goods, apparel and accessories, with an emphasis on Oklahoma vendors. 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
In the artsy Paseo Arts District, you’ll immediately be taken in by the darling Spanish revival buildings nestled side-by-side in a colorful stucco rainbow.

If you’re looking for unique and local, you’ll find it here.
Stockyards City District
While it’s well known for the dining at historic Cattlemen’s Steakhouse, Stockyards City is where you can go to find everything cowboy.

Check out the home decor at The Wood Garden and Designer Rugs. Kitchen and cooking finds can be found at Savory Spice and Culinary Kitchen.
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. In addition to the on-site vendors offering a diverse range of eco-conscious products, the market hosts additional vendors in a monthly pop-up event. Searching for unique gifts and keepsakes?
