Former NBA star’s restaurant moving into former WPX building

TULSA, Okla. — Tulsa is getting a new restaurant and filling a void in a largely vacant downtown building.

Fixins Soul Kitchen plans to move into the first floor of the building near MLK and Cameron.

The massive building was originally built for WPX Energy but the company ended up merging with OKC-based Devon Energy in 2020 to avoid bankruptcy. Since then, several businesses have announced plans to move into the space but this is the first restaurant that has been announced.

Fixins was founded by former NBA Star and Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson and his wife, Michelle.

Fixins only other locations are in California so this will be a first for Tulsa and the state. The plan is to open sometime in May.
