5 questions with Mythic City
Mythic City is a local Tulsa organization that is home to a group of superheroes who are making a difference in a BIG way! We sat down with Stacy Christiansen, Community Manager, to ask a few questions about their mission and how they are doing good through their shop at the corner of 11th & Lewis and beyond!
What is the mission of Mythic City?
Simply put - we love our city and all the people, places and organizations that make Tulsa great. And, giving back has been key to who we are as a company. From our Turkey Mountain collection benefiting River Parks or our custom line of Route 66 apparel, benefiting the Oklahoma Route 66 Association - using our skills to invest in the amazing organizations that invest in Tulsa is what we love most.
At our new store, we plan to take our commitment to our community to the next level by offering strategic partnerships with nonprofits in the community, combining our unique design and high-quality merchandising. All while empowering the average customer to become fundraising superheroes for the causes that make a difference in our city.
How has Mythic Press grown over the past year?
Mythic Press is a Tulsa company offering a full range of merchandise design, production, and planning services. Since opening six years ago, we have become Tulsa’s premiere merchandise partner, providing high quality screen printed shirts, embroidered apparel, branded merchandise and custom designs.
Mythic has been a part of the Mother Road Market family since 2017, when we installed our first ever t-shirt vending machine in Oklahoma's first food hall. We have since grown with MRM by adding a full service kiosk inside the facility, and we are proud to become the first business to graduate from having a small kiosk inside MRM to a full brick and mortar store on the campus.
In September of 2021, Mythic started our newest philanthropic chapter in the company’s evolution, with the opening of the new retail storefront, Mythic City, located at Shops at Mother Road Market. This shop now houses all of our custom made items that showcase the best parts of the place we call home - Tulsa.
What's Mythic City's favorite part about being part of the Mother Road Market family?
We love the Mother Road Market's philosophy of equity, as well as their mission to empower and support new, local entrepreneurs. The sense of community and camaraderie on the campus of MRM is something that is truly special, and we are honored to be a part of the MRM family.
What was your favorite donation item in 2021?
A favorite donated item this year has been the Mythic HUGS (Hat, Underwear, Gloves, Socks) pack. They are not the most exciting gifts, but they are the gifts that can make the biggest difference in the life of someone needing a new hat and pair of gloves, along with socks and underwear. We love being able to help share the warmth of the season.
Can you provide a sneak peek into the organizations Mythic City will be partnering with in 2022?
Mythic will be partnering with some of the best organizations in Tulsa and, while the upcoming partnerships are still under wraps, we can say that we will be partnering with organizations that support some of the best artistic, educational, cultural, and community initiatives of Tulsa- the organizations that make Tulsa the Mythic City that it is.
