Miss Jackson's opened at UTICA SQUARE in August 1965. The store replaced the Utica Bowl (bowling alley) that had burned in 1963. Miss Jackson's, an exclusive ladies emporium, was founded in Tulsa in 1910, by Miss Nellie Shields Jackson. Her UTICA SQUARE store was in business for over 50 years.

Saks' store at UTICA SQUARE was dedicated in September 1986. It was situated south of the core shopping complex. Houston's Foley's also expressed interest in building a UTICA SQUARE store, but were turned down by its owners.
