STAY CONNECTED
In light of public health concerns, and in accordance with the Center for Disease Control, the Heart of Oklahoma Chamber of Commerce has cancelled ALL Chamber events through April. As the Coronavirus/ COVID-19 spreads globally and cases rise in the U.S. and in Oklahoma, the health and safety of our members are our upmost priority. As this is an evolving situation, additional Chamber events may be postponed or cancelled.

In addition our office will be closed until Wednesday, April 15.
Staff will be working remotely and will still be available via phone or email.

We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Thank you! - Elisabeth Baker, Executive Director

Your friends at T.H. ROGERS LUMBER
PURCELL LOCATION:
To help do our part in preventing the spread of COVID-19 we have changed a few things.
Our new hours will be Monday- Friday 8AM-3PM and Saturday 8AM-11AM until further notice.
We are open BUT not allowing anyone except our employees inside the store.
We will be taking orders over the phone and doing curbside service. We want to encourage our customers to pay over the phone with credit/debit cards if possible or if you have a charge account that is great too. You can pull through our yard and we will load you. No need to get out of your vehicles. This is so we can follow guidelines of the 6-7 foot distance. We are doing this in order to keep our valued customers and employees safe during this time.
We will still be doing our deliveries as well.
We greatly appreciate all of our customers during this tough time.
Call us at (405) 527-2221 and let us know how we can serve you!

A note from  Savvy Parke :
I put my heart and soul in my store and lately the thoughts of the unknown are overwhelming. Beginning tomorrow after closing at 6 Savvy Parke will be closed until April 14th. I will still be offering shipping or porch pick up. My plans are to start doing live Facebook sales and🤞🏻 open a online Shopify store to make online orders easier. Thank you for shopping small when possible to lessen the hit we are taking. I won’t back down and we will get though this together❤️ 🛒 🛍 💪🏻 ✌🏼 I’m going to miss you guys so much!
I would like to say a big THANK YOU to my dear customers and friends that have thought about me and shopped with me lately to support me through this. Your friendship and support are keeping me afloat and have been a huge comfort. You may not even think it’s a big deal; but it’s HUGE- your orders and thoughtfulness are amazing and are carrying me through one of the most difficult times many small businesses will ever face. I could never repay you guys. It’s so greatly appreciated.
Reopening on April 14th. Until then.....
Xoxo- Savvy

A note from Tyler's Furniture:
Sitting here talking over our current situation with these colorful new friends, lol! In all seriousness I’m sure by now you have all heard our Governor’s announcement about all non essential businesses needing to temporarily close their doors as we try to “flatten the curve” of this horrible virus and we are going to do just that. Beginning Thursday, March 26th our doors will be locked but we will be there to answer the phone and unload trucks and hopefully still sell a little furniture. We will continue posting pictures of items we have in stock and will be more than happy for you to place your “order” and pay over the phone (or when you pickup) and we can load it into your vehicle without any contact (or we can deliver at later date once this mess dies down!) We will also continue to ship all jewelry, pillows, etc.!
No worries to those of you who have special orders and deliveries scheduled we will get you all taken care of!
We ask that if you need or simply want an item please give us a call at (405) 527-6885 during business hours and let us fix you up! Any little bit of business is a necessity to keep our employees and us afloat during this trying time and is appreciated more than we can express!
Stay calm and remember God has this! Stay home, stay safe and God Bless!!
ALMA'S FLOWERS
