In a 2020 interview with The Oklahoman, Jim Griffth, CEO of OnCue, said the company had no involvement in the demolition. OnCue purchased the property one year after the demolition. The area is referred to as the Founders district. The football-shaped structure, built in 1964, was anchored by two 50-foot exterior arches and was a part of an area once home to several of the city’s most notable examples of mid-century architecture, including Founders Tower. ![]() The demolition came as a surprise with crews starting tear down the same morning the demolition permit was filed at City Hall. Preservationists protested when a Dallas development group destroyed the former Founders National Bank building at 5613 N May. In the past two years the market has seen 7-Eleven sell to the national 7-Eleven operator, an aggressive expansion of Casey’s General Stores that included new construction and the purchase of Circle K stores, and most recently plans by QuikTrip to open two travel centers at Interstate 35 and Hefner Road and along I-35 in Moore.īoth of the new OnCue sites were once subject to some controversy. The expansion introduced a larger and more expansive convenience store offering to the city at a time when similarly operated QuikTrip did not enter Oklahoma City as part of an agreement with then locally owned 7-Eleven.

The product fills me with excite and intrigue, so if you're interested too, visit or follow on Twitter. I believe the rest will take care of itself because I'm so confident in the product. My aim is to make people aware that there's an option. Not a lot of people know that a chalkless cue exists. It's very difficult to in my role to get the product out there. A lot of people have them for their personal use in their own homes as well. It's already in their pubs and snooker halls and people are buying them at a good rate. It minimises kick-backs as well.Īt the moment, the orders in the UK have mainly been from single customers buying them for personal use.īut in Australia it's been going on in Australia for about a year. The contact is constantly there and miscuing disappears. It's exactly the same as playing with a normal cue without having to put chalk on. It's captured a few people's imaginations and from the feedback I've received, I believe it has a lot of potential in all cue sports. A number of people seem to be thinking 'wow'. They're selling on our site ebay and on Amazon. The Grip Tip is available as a screw-on tip or to be glued on. That may be different next year, but at the moment, I'm relying on Facebook and Twitter pages. The budget isn't there for advertising and marketing. We're trying to grow it quite organically. Since I've bought it to the UK, we've had a lot of orders, but we're just starting really. It just came up in conversation that there could be a market for it. They would either have to play without chalk or go to another pub. Spinster has been going for decades and they first through of the idea for the Grip Tip when some of their staff were in a bar and realised there was no chalk. I'm out and about, raising awareness and selling the product. He arranged for the owner of Spinster to contact me and it's gone from there. ![]() I said I was really interested and I told him I wanted to promote the product for the UK market. I had a better contact with the cue ball and it seemed to minimises the chances of a kick. I was interested in playing with it and it felt great. He handed me this cue with the Grip Tip on. He asked me to try out the chalkless tip. I first stumbled across the product when I was visiting Oz and my brother-in-law took me to his snooker room. The Grip Tip is a brand new product being promoted in Australia and is produced by a company called Spinster, who primarily make bespoke pool tables. ![]() OnCue asked him more about the product and why he thinks it could be a big win. That's the opinion of Jayson Waller, who has recently taken on the role of UK licensed distributor for a new exciting product, called Grip Tip.
