The Pioneer Woman Mercantile: Your Complete Guide to Ree Drummond’s Must-Visit Pawhuska Store
Bakery treats, comfort food and charming finds await at The Merc
For years, Ree Drummond has invited fans into her world. The red-haired TV personality transformed her Pioneer Woman blog into a lifestyle empire that includes her hit Food Network show, bestselling cookbooks and a popular line of kitchenware and home decor at Walmart.
But the heart of her brand is the Ree Drummond Mercantile in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.
Affectionately called “The Merc,” it is more than a store—it’s a destination. Housed in a beautifully restored 100-year-old building, the space includes a retail shop, bakery and deli, creating a one-stop hub for all things Pioneer Woman.

Today, the Ree Drummond Mercantile draws visitors from across the country. Guests can shop exclusive Pioneer Woman merchandise, enjoy hearty comfort food, grab fresh-baked treats and experience a slice of small-town Oklahoma charm. Whether you’re planning a girls’ getaway or passing through Osage County, Pawhuska has become a must-visit stop for fans.
