British Stores in Oklahoma - Food and Drink
Fancy a nice cup of tea? Beans on toast? Bag of Quavers? There are British stores in Oklahoma where you can buy all your favourite imported UK food
and drink. Most good liquor stores stock imported British beers e.g. Boddingtons, Beamish, Harp, Guinness, Old Speckled Hen, etc. If you fancy a
nelson or two, you can now by Stella Artois in Oklahoma too!

Petty's Fine Foods
1964 Utica Sq

|
Petty's sell import foods from many countries and have a decent selection of English and Irish cheeses. Cheddar, Red Leicester, Stilton, etc.

Target
Nationwide

|
Target stock Weetabix. Oh yes, the original healthy British breakfast cereal. This side of the pond it's made in Canada so doesn't suffer the killer
shipping premium most stuff imported from the UK does. They also stock a reasonable microwave curry.

Albertsons (now Food Pyramid in OK)
Nationwide
USA
|
Just recently the Albertsons supermarket chain added a UK foods
section. This is the first time I've seen a major retailer sell
anything more than Marmite, and it's quite a nice selection too.
Of the items I remember there were PG Tips and TyPhoo teabags,
various Robinsons dilutable drinks (orange, barley lemon, etc),
lots from McVities including Ginger Nut biscuits, porridge oats,
jams, jars of Tikka Masala sauce, Colemans packet mixes e.g.
Shepherds Pie mix, and lots more. Definitely worth a look as they
have stores across the US.
Since our local Albertsons was bought by Food Pyramid, I've noticed that
they now stock Colemans Mustard and Cadbury Fingers (made in
Birmingham, not Hersheyfied!).

The Market
(defunct)
Kingspoint Village
61st and Yale
Tulsa, OK
|
The Market is an upscale supermarket and while not specifically British, it has a small
selection of British foods on offer, including import cheeses, Weetabix, various jams and
marmalades, chocolates, HP sauce, and more. You'll no doubt be tempted by the wealth of
other things though as it's really very nice in there and they have free WiFi Internet
access. Update - unfortunately the Tulsa store has closed but as far as I am aware
the ones operating in other states are still alive and well.
