Beloved Oklahoma marketplace joins OKSBE's statewide business event lineup while remaining under the same leadership team that has managed and produced the marketplace since 2021.
TULSA, Okla. — OKGO Market and the Oklahoma Small Business Exchange (OKSBE) today announced a strategic partnership that will bring OKGO Market into the OKSBE family of statewide business events beginning in 2027.
Over the past six years, OKGO Market has become one of Oklahoma's premier curated marketplaces, bringing together hundreds of Oklahoma makers, artists, boutiques, and small businesses with thousands of shoppers from across the state. Known for its carefully curated selection of vendors and exceptional marketplace experience, OKGO Market has established itself as a destination for consumers who value shopping local and supporting Oklahoma businesses.
While the event will become part of OKSBE's professional event lineup, the marketplace itself will remain true to the experience merchants and shoppers have come to expect. OKGO Market will continue to be managed and produced by the same OKGO Market team that has led the marketplace since its founding in 2021, maintaining the same commitment to quality, thoughtful vendor curation, and exceptional customer experience.
The partnership represents a long-term investment in the future of OKGO Market, allowing the marketplace to build upon its success while providing participating businesses with greater value, increased visibility, and expanded opportunities to connect with Oklahoma's statewide business community.
"OKGO Market has built something truly special for Oklahoma's small business community," said Erik-Michael Collins, Senior Managing Director of the Oklahoma Small Business Exchange. "Our goal is not to change what has made the marketplace successful, but to invest in its future. By welcoming OKGO Market into the OKSBE family, we're creating new opportunities for participating businesses while preserving the high-quality experience that merchants and shoppers have come to know and love."
As part of the partnership, participating businesses will benefit from stronger statewide business connections, expanded promotional opportunities, and access to OKSBE's extensive network of member organizations and business professionals. The partnership reflects both organizations' shared commitment to strengthening Oklahoma's small business economy through collaboration, innovation, and meaningful business engagement.
Applications for the 2027 OKGO Market will open first to Oklahoma Small Business Exchange members before opening to the general public. This early application period provides an additional benefit to OKSBE membership while continuing to welcome exceptional businesses from across Oklahoma to participate in the marketplace.
The partnership marks an exciting new chapter for OKGO Market while remaining true to the mission that has guided the marketplace since its founding. Since 2021, OKGO Market has been committed to creating an exceptional experience for both merchants and shoppers while celebrating Oklahoma's vibrant small business community. As part of the Oklahoma Small Business Exchange, the marketplace will build on that success by providing participating businesses with even greater value and increased visibility, while preserving the carefully curated experience that has made OKGO Market one of Oklahoma's premier marketplace events.
