Fans from all over the country were visiting Pawhuska for a re-opening celebration at the Pioneer Woman Mercantile.

Ree Drummond and her team have been remodeling the space for the past three months.

"I want to meet and see where Ree Drummond is from. I love her," said Debbie Torrey.

Debbie Torrey is from New York and said she's one of Ree Drummond's biggest fans, watching her show every morning.

She said she and her husband have been on a road trip to Texas and just had to stop by.

"When I watch her she is just such a real person, and she would be the type of friend I would choose. I love her, I love her recipes, I have all of her cookbooks, I have everything," she said.

The Mercantile remodeled the bakery, store and restaurant, and added some new menu items, as well as some updates to the fan favorites.

"We feel like it's our second honeymoon, or the new era for the Merc," Ree Drummond said.

Ree said she has a lot going on with her business, but the Mercantile always has a special in her heart. She loves how people get to enjoy all Pawhuska has to offer.

"I may be the reason some people come to town, but Pawhuska is the reason they stay and find out more and that just makes me so happy," she said.

Michael Gennet is from Palm Springs, California and said he enjoyed the remodel and all of the food, but it's the family-like environment he won't forget.

"The nicest thing about Oklahoma is the people though, the service and the friendliness have been amazing," he said.

The Mercantile will be open celebrating the re-opening until 8 p.m. Friday and on Saturday, April 29 from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
