Governor Stitt joined Life Time, Inc. CEO Bahram Akradi and Dillard’s CEO Bill Dillard II to tour their Oklahoma City locations as they implement proper social distancing precautions and begin to reopen. 

As Oklahoma’s economic engine begins to rev back up, Governor Stitt praised Life Time and Dillard’s for choosing our state as one of the first in the nation to safely and thoughtfully re-open: 

“I am proud to see businesses choose Oklahoma as a model for how to reopen safely and responsibly. Life Time and Dillard’s are two examples of companies paying great attention to detail regarding social distancing and cleaning procedures to create a safe environment for their employees and customers.” - Governor Kevin Stitt

Both CEOs applauded the Governor for his leadership and efforts to show the world Oklahoma is open for business.

Governor Stitt announced Oklahoma’s Open Up and Recover Safely Plan on April 22. The plan is currently in Phase 1 and will be moving to Phase 2 on May 15 as the data continues to demonstrate the State has successfully flattened the curve on COVID-19’s presence and impact.
