Making Midtown Merry | mode boutique in OKC

Mode was so excited to be one of the 40 shops that took part in the Holiday Pop-Up Shops in Midtown OKC this year!

It was such a fun way to kick-off the holiday season with our favorite Oklahoma City stores, and customers. The event, which was located on 12^th and Walker (a convenient five-minute-walk from Mode), started Black Friday weekend and lasted until the week before Christmas. Shops rotated weekly through six different domes, providing shoppers with fresh options each week. In addition to the incredible shopping, John Carroll School’s Christmas tree lot, which was situated right by the domes, provided the perfect festive vibe.

We were lucky enough to share the McNellie’s sponsored dome with our neighbor Fit Circle. McNellie's offered customers a coupon for a free entrée. Which, of course, everyone loved! The Pop Ups featured exclusively local shops, some with storefronts and some without. We are constantly amazed at the amount of local love that fills OKC! Multiple people told us that they do all their holiday shopping there so that they can get something cool and unique. We even met a few shoppers who traveled from places like Dallas to see what the domes had to offer!

The Pop Ups provided more than just retail. One of our personal favorites was Katie Bug’s Hot Chocolate. We shamelessly visited the adorable blue trailer more than a few times a day. They hand make fresh, fluffy, organic marshmallows in tons of different flavors that they drop into their creamy hot chocolate. We couldn’t get enough of the Reese’s flavor!

We also loved The Big Friendly. Their innovative concept, a school bus converted into a mobile bar, and their delicious assortment of craft beers was the perfect way to calm holiday shopping nerves. Like us, it was their first year at the pop ups and we will definitely be finding them again.

Another thing we LOVED about The Pop Ups was how dog friendly it was. Simba, our furriest employee, had a blast visiting with everyone.  He even pouted a little when he wasn’t getting their undivided attention.

We had the best time at the Holiday Pop Up Shops in Midtown this year. We are already looking forward to next year! We want to give the biggest thank you to Allison, Cleo, and John, who put the whole event together. Because of them it was a huge success.
