Yukon’s busy retail corridor is getting ready to get a little busier as the city prepares to welcome some new businesses.
While much development has been occurring on the outskirts of Yukon in Oklahoma City limits, City of Yukon officials proudly shared details about new stores coming just north of 10th Street – in Yukon’s city limits.
“These will be a great asset to our future tax revenue,” Yukon Mayor Shelli Selby said of coming Yukon businesses.
“We welcome them to our community and look forward to a great working relationship. I want to remind Yukon residents to ‘shop local’.”
