Apple Tree Chocolate, a chocolate and confections shop on Campus Corner, is moving to a new location on Main Street in June.
Apple Tree Chocolate, owned and operated by OUÂ alumnus Scotty Jackson and his family, opened on Campus Corner in 2014. Since then, the business has continued to expand, recently opening a new location in Oklahoma City.Â
Jackson said the move was inspired by a need for more space and accessibility.
âWe found this location on Main, and the landlords there had a vision,â Jackson said. âThey have a vision for all of Main Street, and thatâs what we wanted.â
Despite social media rumors, Sugerâs on Campus Corner is not closing â it just changed ownership.Â
âIt was literally turnkey,â said Elizabeth Shuler, the new proprietor of the club. âWe took over that morning and (were) prepared to open that weekend.âÂ
Shuler began operating the club in September 2020. However, a month later, a tweet from Twitter account @SugersNorman stated the business would be closing. Â
âRemember us⦠Tell our story through your memories⦠and through your memories we will live on. Goodbye friends,â the Tweet read. Â
Shuler said the account is not associated with the club and that Sugerâs never discussed closing.   Â

Even from his earliest days, the Toronto-born and raised Atkinson seemed to have entertainment in his blood.
He got his start in the late 1940s as a Canadian publicist for Decca Records, the U.K. label that was home to Bing Crosby’s White Christmas, before making a break for local radio.
Atkinson’s first stops were at CFRB-AM in Toronto from 1948 to 1950 and then CHUM-AM from 1950 to 1954.
But it was a move to the nation’s capital in 1954, where he took a gig at CFRA-AM, that offered Atkinson the opportunity to really make a splash as the host of Campus Corner, a two-hour weekend show that focused on youth entertainment.
