CHICKASHA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE


The Chickasha Chamber is recognized as the front door of Chickasha and an advocate for the Chickasha business community. The Chickasha Chamber was started in the early 1900s by Chickasha businessmen who formed an organization to work together in the interest of Chickasha. Called the “Chickasha Commercial Club,” it later evolved into the Chickasha Chamber of Commerce which has been an important instrument in Chickasha’s stability since 1923.


The Chickasha Chamber houses a Board of Directors made up of member representatives from diverse areas of the business community.

Back in 2020 before Covid hit, I remember talking with people about the population of Chickasha. They were concerned that our town had not seen any measurable growth in decades. We had always been around 15-16 thousand in population. I responded that at least we weren’t declining like many rural towns in Oklahoma. As you may remember, the census was done in 2020 and when they were done they reported that our population was 16,059. This number reflects people living in the Chickasha city limits and we all know there are a lot of people that live within a few miles of town that don’t show up in these numbers. One of the things the EDC has done the past few years is track out Trade Area. We define that as people that come to Chickasha at least once a month for 12 consecutive months. We use Placer data to determine this. In 2022 our Trade Area exceeded 89,000 people, but the latest data now shows that we are over 120,000 people coming to Chickasha monthly. This increase reflects how the area between us and OKC has grown, but also reflects the advertising campaign we have in the area reminding people to shop Chickasha. New estimates from the U.S. Census American Community Survey shows that as of July 1, 2024, Chickasha’s population has reached 17,014. This is an increase of almost 1,000 from the 2020 base estimate of 16,059. We finally exceeded that 17,000 number…but only for a short time. We have more housing developments underway and there will be more announced soon. Chickasha is growing! There was a time when there were NO new housing developments happening in Chickasha, but that has changed. Why is Chickasha growing? There are a lot of reasons, but the main one is because everyone is working together to make things better and to attract new business and welcome new neighbors. We hit a milestone of now being over 17,000 in population, that my friends is definitely #TheGoodStuff!

In the coming months, we will be contacting businesses from outside of Oklahoma and recruiting them to expand or relocate to Chickasha Oklahoma. My question to you is “Why”? If you were in Southern California for example, what would make you want to move your business here? How would you describe our Community to someone that’s never been here? So what is a unique value statement? It a short statement that answers the question: “What makes Chickasha different from other places?” If someone from another state likes the idea of moving to this part of the country, why should they consider our town over hundreds of other towns of similar size? I have used the marketing slogan “Eat, Shop & Play in Chickasha.” It’s kind of catchy and it rhymes and all, but does it really set us apart from other places? So how would you describe your town to someone from out of state? What makes Chickasha unique? What do you think someone from a larger metro out of state would notice about our Community. What would stand out? I’m really interested to hear your thoughts. I have some ideas but can’t wait to hear what you all think… We have been recognized as an “All American City,” we have been known as the Horse Trailer Capitol of the World. Recently we had tons of news stories about being home to the World’s largest leg lamp. But we need an “elevator speech.” Something short that describes our town and why someone would move their business and family here. I have some ideas, but I really want to hear yours. Please leave your thoughts in the comments when you read this online or on social media. What do you have to say about Chickasha Oklahoma, one thing I know for sure is that it is the home of #TheGoodStuff.

I attended the grand opening of the Production House last weekend and loved what I heard and saw. This building was purchased a couple of years ago by Reagan Elkins and the Oh18 partnership of Kristen McGregor and Kristyn Allbritton. They teamed up to remodel the building into office space, retail space, a meeting room and a film studio. Yes…we have a state of the art film studio in Downtown Chickasha! All three of these young entrepreneurs grew up in the Chickasha area. In addition to being landlords, they also have successful businesses. OH18 Creative produces an incredible magazine that showcases everything happening in the 73…018. They also help local businesses with graphic design, social media and creative design. Their award winning work has been recognized on both the state and local levels. Reagan Elkins company, Intellego Media can be seen everywhere and like Oh18, has won multiple awards. He has been involved in major motion pictures, Indy films and music videos. He also does promotional videos for companies like Hart Trailer, DeHart Airconditioning and Willowbrook. The EDC and the Chamber have utilized his talents on multiple videos and TV commercials. They are literally Chickasha’s version of the American Dream. Smart creative business people investing in Chickasha and seeing the Vision of where our town is going. Most rural towns lose talent like this to OKC, Tulsa or even Dallas. Chickasha has a bright future because they choose to live, work and play in our Community. They are helping tell our story of not only where we have been, but more importantly where we are going. When the American Dream is alive and well in our town, you guessed it…that’s #TheGoodStuff.
