JENKS, Okla. — Progress on The Ten district in Jenks is gaining attention on a larger scale.
Willie Robertson, best known for the show "Duck Dynasty" visited the area while in town for an event.
“I think they are doing great with The Ten, and I just love the idea of mixing the old and the new together. I think it’s going to be a great experience for the people of this community,” said Robertson.
According to its website, Ten marks the end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Visitors to the district are invited to eat, work, stay, learn and just have fun.
Ten District Co-founder Bryan Wilks is a longtime friend of Robertson.
“The thing I’ve learned about Willie is just the amount of resilience that he has and when he walks through downtown Jenks, you can just see that he appreciates that,” said Wilks.
Robertson said a big part of success is his faith.
“Every part of our life, our family, our businesses, everything we’ve done is really attributed to that faith,” said Robertson.
Wilks shared the Ten District’s concept is so successful they are now having to turn business away.
“We are definitely at the point where we are having to turn people away. We used to have to use incentives to get people here, but I think that time has passed. The demand is high, and the supply is relatively low,” said Wilks.
Business continues to boom, including the additions of Motley Market and Cedar & Lily, two new retail concepts, and a new restaurant called Social.
