If you've driven the corner of NW 164th and May Avenue anytime in the last four years, you've watched the same rendering promise the same things: a steakhouse, a med spa, a boutique fitness studio, cafes, bars, a lifestyle center pitched as one of the best outdoor shopping stretches in the state. Skybridge Development broke ground on Rose Creek Plaza back in July 2022, with COO Steven Callendar telling reporters the finished project would merge "luxury, leisure and convenience" for the growing pocket of north Oklahoma City and Edmond around it.
Large mixed-use projects open in phases, and this one is well underway. Today, what's running at the plaza is a grocery store and, as of this summer, a dog groomer.
Homeland Got There First, Just Like It Was Supposed To
Homeland Fresh Market was named the plaza's anchor tenant from the start, and it's the one promise that's fully delivered. The store operates daily from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. at 16525 Rose Creek Dr, right inside the plaza footprint at the NW 164th and May intersection. If you've been buying groceries there for a while, this part isn't news. What's worth noting is that Homeland arriving on schedule, while everything else in the 2022 tenant list stayed in "coming soon" territory for years, tells you something about how these plazas actually fill in. The grocery anchor moves first. The rest trickles.
The Second Real Tenant Isn't What Anyone Predicted
In June 2026, Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming announced its first Oklahoma location, and it landed at Rose Creek Plaza. The Edmond store sits at 16601 Rose Creek Blvd, Suite 320, part of the same 27-acre development, and the timing is notable given the plaza's history: this is the first new storefront to actually open its doors since Homeland, well before any of the restaurants or bars from the original tenant list showed up.
Woof Gang is a national franchise with more than 300 locations across 36 states, and the Edmond store carries the standard menu: a full groom that includes a luxury bath, brushing, nail trim, ear cleaning and sanitary trim, plus a retail counter of treats, food, and pet accessories. It's open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Walk-ins get accepted on occasion, but the store recommends booking ahead, which is standard for grooming appointments anywhere.
None of that is remarkable on its own. What's worth sitting with is the order things happened in. A steakhouse announcement generates more buzz than a grooming boutique. But the steakhouse hasn't opened. The groomer has.
Why Groceries and Grooming Beat the Steakhouse to the Punch
The plaza's own leasing materials explain the gap without meaning to. Rose Creek Plaza's retail spaces are delivered to tenants as a cold shell, with a $30-per-square-foot tenant improvement allowance to build out from there. That works fine for a business like Woof Gang, which needs grooming tables, retail shelving, and basic plumbing for wash stations. It's a much tighter budget for a steakhouse, which needs a commercial kitchen, ventilation for a hood system, walk-in coolers, and in most cases a liquor license before it can seat a single table.
Grocery and service tenants can typically open on a build timeline measured in months. Full-service restaurants routinely take a year or more once permitting, kitchen buildout, and licensing are factored in. That's not a knock on any restaurant that eventually lands here. It's just the mechanical reason a grocery store and a dog groomer are running today while the steakhouse from the 2022 announcement is still a line item on a leasing sheet.
If you've been holding off on treating Rose Creek Plaza as a real destination until the "fun" tenants show up, this is worth revisiting. The corner is already doing the job of an errand run. It's not yet doing the job of a night out.
What's Actually Usable Right Now
For anyone circling this stretch of May Avenue on a Saturday, here's what you can count on today rather than what's still a rendering:
- Groceries, seven days a week, 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., at Homeland.
- A full-service groom, or a bag of treats, at Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming, Monday through Saturday from 9 to 7 and Sunday from 10 to 6.
- Everything else from the original list, including the steakhouse, bars, med spa, boutique fitness concept, and cafes, still working through the same buildout math described above.
The plaza sits right against the Rose Creek golf community, and the site plan includes golf cart paths connecting the neighborhood directly to the retail pads, along with a waterfront section and outdoor event space still in the works. None of that changes what's open this week, but it's worth knowing the connective tissue is part of the design, not an afterthought.
What Comes Next Tells You Whether the Pattern Holds
The next tenant to open its doors at Rose Creek Plaza will be the real test of this pattern. If it's another service business, a fitness studio or a cafe with a lighter buildout, that confirms the shell-and-TI economics are still setting the pace. If a full-service restaurant beats them to a ribbon cutting, that's the signal the plaza has cleared its slowest hurdle. Either way, the corner at NW 164th and May is no longer just a construction fence and a rendering. Today it's a grocery run and a dog groomer, with the rest of the original tenant list still ahead.
