Hi Ree:
While everyone in Pawhuska will know it as the mercantile, I think, the rest of us around the country will remember pwmercantile a lot better. God Bless for all your endeavors.
Donna Klepzig - 8 years ago
pwmercantile distinguishes you from just any ole mercantile
lynn - 8 years ago
pwmercantile -- your followers would find you, but not new ones. I found you when I was looking for "how to" recipes.....
Pioneer Woman is catchy though and everyone is likely to say the Merc.....as a short form....
So how about Pioneerwomanmerc? or as someone suggested -- more than one....
Candy - 8 years ago
As much as you refer to the store as "The Merc", it seems like a natural branding for it. Any web search for the Pioneer Woman's online store, will bring up the store, anyways. For those of us who follow you, we already think of the store as "The Merc". I am also guessing that your Pioneer Woman website will share a link to the store. I can't imagine anyone referring to the site/store as the PW Mercantile. It doesn't roll naturally, while speaking, as "The Merc", either. Just my opinions, but you can probably guess which way I voted. Besides, if the online store is selling what is available in the brick and mortar store, how will your town refer, in conversation, to the store? Do real people in your real life use PW when referring to the building? Seems like the folks will be saying "The Merc", not the "PW Merc". It seems like you think of it as "The Merc" not the "PW Merc". Maybe, this store isn't as much about the Pioneer Woman as it is about Ree, her family, her town and this building getting a new life. I would hope that you feel confident to be more than "The Pioneer Woman". Sometimes, Ree, simple is best. I think that "The Merc" will be able to stand on it's own and find it's own way.
I voted for The Mercantile, but I think I am changing my mind. PW is you....either way I will visit it often and can't wait to visit "The Merc" in person.....love The Pioneer Woman.....
Kathy - 8 years ago
keep it simple; like you've been referring to it; the merc....either way, i'll be visiting it!
I voted for The Mercantile, but now changed my mind to PW, because that's who you are.
Congrats on all your hard efforts to make this dream come alive. Think I see a trip to OK in my future!
I like that it identifies who you are. And can I say this that I'm sooooo thankful you will have a deli and
bakery. I just moved from Tulsa and there's no bakery here. Can't wait
Donna - 8 years ago
Keep it as simple as possible....those who aren't familiar with PW (can't imagine, though) but find out about The Merc will like easy to remember name.
Diane Nydell - 8 years ago
I like the PW also as it does say who you are. I can't wait to visit you online.
Rachel Theis - 8 years ago
I really love your show and always record when not around to watch. I think most folks will identify better with the PW address.
Mariann - 8 years ago
Hope sometime to get there after visiting a nephew who will be playing football at Arkansas.

I really like themercantile.com.. well, I really like both, and I really like the suggestion above reesmerc.com, but I voted for themercantile.com because I can't ever decide on which pair of shoes is more thrilling and finally just leave the store without any, and I didn't want that to happen here. :-)
Stephanie - 8 years ago
I like PWMerc or TheMerc better! I like short addresses and that you use an endearing, memorable term.
Kimberly Selleck - 8 years ago
PWMERCANTILE!!!!!!! No other options here!
Nancy Jo - 8 years ago
I like PW (because it is your identity) and 'merc" cuz of being so busy, who has time to type out mercantile (or who can even spell it???). Just my 2 cents. However, I am thinking you, Ree, have thought of all this and for some reason it must be taken by someone else. Oh well, I still love ya.
Susan Ringler - 8 years ago
It's you! It does roll off the tongue but it also adds identity, connection and such. Very important in web addresses, you know.
Laurie - 8 years ago
pwmercantile! Only because you can't call it p-diddymercantile ;)
Gloria Mentecki - 8 years ago
I love the PW in the web address because , after all, the Merc is all you no matter who else is involved. I can't wait to check it out.
Susy - 8 years ago
I like the suggested pwmerc.com
Judy - 8 years ago
You've done great with your branding, so stick with it! PWMerc.com! Congrats on following your dreams Ree!
Sherry Stanley - 8 years ago
Pwmercantile...that's a good one. Have fun, wish I was there!
Diane Leco - 8 years ago
I kind of like the PW one but came up with my own...P-DiddyMerc.com. Of course its just something that popped into my head. But going with your choices, it should definitely reflect you and be pwmercantile.com. Really looking forward to ordering from the on-line store.
CATHY - 8 years ago
PW - You own it girl! It's YOU! It takes the guess work out of who's Mercantile. Immediately we all know when we see pwmercantile - it's the Pioneer Woman and all her glorious goodies!
Jessica - 8 years ago
I'd definitely register both ;)
Lavania Cook - 8 years ago

Melissa Valencia - 8 years ago
I am hoping you will be open by my fall break because I am planning a trip from CA to visit family in Arkansas and to visit the Mercantile! And I vote for the PW address too for many of the same reasons that have already been mentioned! Congratulations on this amazing project!
Liz Miller - 8 years ago
Why can't pioneerwomanmercantile.com be used? I'm in my 70's and easy easy easy is super important. If pw brings up pioneer woman mercantile i think that's the best!
JoAnn Pollick - 8 years ago
One suggestion---- Please after opening have posted dates that you'll be available for Book Signings so your Girlfriends that plan trips to Pawhuska might meet you.
Karen - 8 years ago
themercantile.com is too generic. You need an address that is specific to you, and your friends and followers know PW refers to you. I like Deb's idea of using both of the addresses.
BIANCA ROLON - 8 years ago
It's your dream. Why not showcase Pioneer Woman - "pw". Enjoy.
pwmercantile rolls off the tongue better and pw is you after all. :-)
Wishing you all the best with everything ~ FlowerLady
Debbi - 8 years ago
Having "the" as the first word in the URL seems like it could be problematic. I wonder if people would think it's not part of the URL and end up just using mercantile.com. Use your brand, PW!
Barbara Fleming - 8 years ago
I like pwmerccantile. When I am hunting for a web address and type in first part of an address, "pwmer" is much easier To find than "them". The world uses the. Good luck.
Linda Plumb - 8 years ago
Definitely pwmercantile to continue a consistent "brand". Love it all!
I like the PW one since it sounds more "personally yours" and specific. I live in Ohio, but your new project just might give me a good reason to make a road trip.

I like the PW one also because it is all about you and what you do! Would love to live close enough to you that I could work there.
Deb Casey - 8 years ago
Why not use them both? And just have one be the main website and the other just bounces into it (like an alias e-mail - I have several here at work.)
Lydia Scaroni - 8 years ago
I think keep the 'pw' as it is synonymous with the great name we are all familiar with!
Sharon Filand - 8 years ago
Love the show and can't wait to stop by if I get to Oklahoma

I like the PW one because Pioneer Woman is technically is the name of the establishment as well. So it's kind of Matchy-Matchy that way.
