MOTHER ROAD MARKET ANNOUNCED AS BEST FOOD HALL BY USA TODAY 10BEST READERS’ CHOICE AWARDS
Voters chose Mother Road Market as the number one food hall!
Tulsa, OK – July 18, 2023 – Mother Road Market (MRM), is celebrating a monumental moment as they accept the award for Best Food Hall from USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards. Just over a month ago, the popular Tulsa food hall announced its nomination and reached out to the local community for support through voting as they competed against 19 other food halls for the coveted award.
Mother Road Market is not only a food hall, jam-packed with some of the best local food and retail Tulsa has to offer, but it’s also a nonprofit on a mission to help entrepreneurs kick-start their business ideas.
"Mother Road Market's first place title is the BEST way to celebrate the entrepreneurs who launched successful food and retail businesses using our nonprofit food hall model in Tulsa," said Elizabeth Frame Ellison, Lobeck Taylor Family Foundation board chair and Mother Road Market founder. "This award demonstrates that Mother Road Market is a place that brings people together through food and innovation. We cannot wait to continue our mission of supporting local entrepreneurs while also providing a place for Tulsans and travelers alike to do good and eat well on historic Route 66."
Mother Road Market joins Gathering Place on the list of Tulsa businesses that have won an award through the USA Today 10Best Readers’ Choice Awards and is thrilled to bring another accolade to the city.
While Mother Road Market will be celebrating the win all year long, they are kicking off the celebration this weekend. As a way of saying thank you to the Tulsa community for all of the support in bringing home this award, the first 500 visitors on both Saturday, July 22, and Sunday, July 23, will receive a free scoop of ice cream from Big Dipper Creamery from their mobile ice cream cart which will be set up next to the “Get Your Kicks” mural at the south end of Mother Road Market. This opportunity is first come, first served and will kick off at 2 p.m. each day.
