The expansion of the Pioneer Woman franchise on the Food TV network has enabled Ree Drummond to fully embrace the American Dream. The little town of Pawhuska has been revived because of all the benefits of the Pioneer Woman. The Pioneer Woman employs people in the Merc, the Boarding House, the PW Collection, the Event Center, P-Town Pizza, and Charlie’s Sweet Shop, all in Pawhuska.
