Local Businesses Participate in Claremore Chamber's Annual Restaurant Week

Claremore is known for several things. World-class museums, five-star event centers, historic buildings, and Will Rogers. But community leaders are wanting the northeast Oklahoma town along Historic Route 66 to also be known for something else: excellent restaurants. This summer, the Claremore Area Chamber of Commerce will be bringing back Restaurant Week to showcase participating restaurants and eateries, each of whom will be offering special deals. “Restaurant Week is the chance for our Chamber members to participate in an event in which the focus is on them,” explained Barby Myers, Claremore Chamber President & CEO. “Participating restaurants will have a ‘meal deal’ or some kind of special that week to encourage other Chamber and community members to go, get a good deal, and maybe even patronize an establishment they don’t normally eat from as a way to support local businesses.” The inaugural Restaurant Week was held last year, with 25 participants, and was a “tremendous success,” Barby said – a success that the Chamber hopes to replicate again this year.
