Since OK only allows 3 point beer the big grocers don't make enough profit overall to make being in OK worth their time and resources when they can make more in states that allow unwatered beer and wine. The grocers that are here in OK, because they must work with lower profit margins (even efficient grocers run profit margins in the 1.5 to 2.5% range), can't afford to buy the best produce available - Crest for example has the worst produce of any grocer my wife and I have ever shopped at and it has been that way since I moved to OK in '85. So the theory is let OK grocery stores sell real beer and wine, they earn higher profits and can then afford to buy better produce to put on their shelves.</p></blockquote><p></p>
