In the small town of Pawhuska where only 3,500 residents reside, there’s a new place on the block that’s attracting over 6,000 visitors to town every day. The Pioneer Woman Mercantile just opened in late 2016 and it’s already our new favorite place. It’s located in Downtown Pawhuska in a restored brick building and has everything from gifts and home decor to food and pastries.
The Pioneer Woman Mercantile is located at 532 Kihekah Avenue, Pawhuska, OK. The Mercantile is owned by Ree Drummond also known as The Pioneer Woman - a famous Oklahoma blogger, television personality, author, food writer, cook and photographer.

The Drummonds recently bought a historic building in Downtown Pawhuska (just outside their ranch) and turned it into The Mercantile. Rarely will you see it without a line out the door. With over 6,000 visitors a day, be prepared for a wait.
