Clayton, Okla. - Residents of Clayton and the surrounding area will soon have a new grocery and convenience store to fulfill their shopping needs. The development of the Choctaw Country Marketplace will be the newest addition to the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma’s Commerce Division.
The concept will include a full line grocery store, restaurant, convenience store and gas station, positioning it as a one-stop shop for its patrons. The market will offer fresh produce, a butcher and deli case, pre-packaged foods as well as in-store dining options. Fuel offerings will include ten pumps with four of those being diesel. The Marketplace is located right off the intersection of Highway 271 and Highway 2 in the former Clayton Country Store building.
“We are excited to bring the Choctaw Country Marketplace to the area to help fill a need for the residents of Clayton and the surrounding towns. We hope the all-in-one concept will prove to be a convenient shopping option for locals” said Choctaw Nation’s Chief Gary Batton.
The Choctaw Country Marketplace will provide 28 jobs and construction is currently underway with a planned opening date in March 2016.
