Cimarron Pottery Opens in Moore

Cimarron Pottery and World Imports has opened retail operations in the City of Moore Shopping Center, west of Interstate 35 at 605 N. Moore Ave.

The lease is for 66,000 square feet. That is about half the size of the company's other store, west of Yukon on Interstate 40 at Cimarron Rd., but will contain the same merchandise, said owner John Rabon.

He said the store will serve "a very strong customer base from Moore down to Ardmore that may not be able to get out to Interstate 40 as often."

"I expect some business from the Moore store to come from the (Yukon) store but my feeling is that the total number of (sales) dollars will increase to justify the Moore store," he said.

The Moore store has about 30 employees. Merchandise includes house wares, silk floral, baskets and pottery. Rabon said 50 percent of the items are imported.

The Yukon store opened in 1985 as Garden Ridge Pottery and World Imports and has about 50 employees.
