While north Tulsa is considered a food desert, a new supermarket chain is coming to south Tulsa.
WinCo, out of Idaho, will be part of the major redevelopment of a shopping center on the southwest corner of 71st and Memorial. That center once housed a Safeway and later a Homeland store. It also was the home of Tulsa's second Target store.
WinCo is employee owned and is a discount food store chain, with over 100 stores nationwide. There is no word on when exactly the Tulsa store will open.
