Unlike our competitors, Retail Attractions began with the idea that the foundation of our services for our client communities should not solely consist of data, pretty presentations or reports. Our acute focus is grassroots, high-energy retail recruiting and market validation. The source of our continued  success and effective retail recruitment is based on our relationships with the players in this field.

Our staff is focused on constant communication with established development groups and retail/restaurant connections, which ensures our client communities stay on the radar of growth driven tenants across a wide spectrum of the traditional retail and specialty outlet industry. We not only maintain these relationships, but our strategic focus on our client cities allows us to anticipate retail trends in the market and be one step ahead of our competitors.

Rickey and his team believe in doing business honestly, ethically, and efficiently. When you are ready to get started, we are ready to go to work for you. Call Retail Attractions at (918) 376-6707 or e-mail us today.

Retail Attractions, LLC was founded by Owner/CEO Rickey Hayes in 2007 to provide a suite of services to cities and other governmental entities who desire to see new retail development in their community and the increased sales tax and ad valorem tax revenue that retail and other commercial development brings to the community. Both communities and their citizens benefit when national retailers and restaurants, quality residential developments, state of the art health care and office facilities choose to locate in their city.

Our goal is to assist those responsible for bringing retail and other commercial development to cities and to make their jobs easier and more effective. Developers and retailers benefit from choosing a location in a Retail Attractions client city because our efforts are geared at helping the local governments make the development process smooth and efficient.

Our firm serves as a problem solving, solution-creating liaison between the public and the private sectors, which alleviates potential road blocks and helps make economic development successful.

While serving as the Economic Development Director for the City of Owasso for six years, Rickey Hayes facilitated new commercial construction totaling more than 10 million square feet of retail and other mixed use development. This construction produced more than half a billion dollars in total value, resulting in a city sales tax base more than triple what it had been previous to the new development. Since beginning Retail Attractions, Rickey has helped cities launch millions of square feet of additional retail space and reap the associated benefits in additional revenues, goods and services for their citizens. As CEO of Retail Attractions, Rickey is a consultant not only to the private sector, but to cities, counties, economic development agencies, states and a couple sovereign nations as well. Rickey and his team have worked in over 400 communities in 37 states, directly or indirectly in the eight years they have been in the business of making communities better. Rickey has developed an extensive personal network of relationships in the areas of government relations, retail, restaurant and land development, real estate and site selection, leasing and tenanting and engineering.

Rickey has also demonstrated success in producing effective, creative financing opportunities and incentives to expedite the success of public and private partnerships for development projects.
