Support Local: Edmond’s March Madness Restaurant Rebates and Route 66 Community Pride
Spring is bringing excitement to Edmond in more ways than one. From a new restaurant rebate program that rewards residents for supporting local dining to vibrant Route 66 murals celebrating the city’s history, it’s a great time to get out and enjoy what makes our community unique.
A Win for Local Restaurants
Beginning March 15, the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce and the Edmond Economic Development Authority are launching the 2026 March Madness Restaurant Rebate Program. The initiative encourages residents to dine locally while receiving a small reward for doing so.
Here’s how it works:
Spend $50 at participating Edmond Chamber member restaurants
Receive a $10 gift card back to that restaurant
Submit up to $250 in receipts each week
Households can receive up to $50 in gift cards per week
The program runs in two phases:
Week 1: March 15 – March 21 (submit receipts by March 23)
Week 2: March 22 – March 28 (submit receipts by March 30)
Gift cards will be distributed by April 3. Because program funds are limited, participants are encouraged to submit receipts as soon as possible.
Programs like this help keep Edmond’s local restaurant scene thriving while giving residents another reason to explore the great dining options in our community.
A Community Investing in Its Future
At the same time, Edmond continues making important investments in long-term infrastructure. The city recently received $4 million in federal funding for a new electric substation that will support the water treatment plant’s expansion and help ensure reliable utilities as Edmond continues to grow.
Infrastructure improvements like this help maintain essential services and support the long-term growth of Edmond’s residents and businesses.
Celebrating Edmond’s Route 66 Legacy
While you’re out supporting local restaurants, take a moment to explore another unique part of Edmond—its Route 66 murals.
Edmond is home to six murals along historic Route 66, each highlighting a different aspect of the city’s heritage and identity. Some of the murals include:
A Moment in Time – 116 South Broadway
Edmond Route 66 Centennial – 220 S Littler Ave
Greetings – 220 S Littler Ave
Happy History – 217 S Broadway
Mainstreet Edmond – 302 South Broadway
Welcome to Edmond – 23 S Broadway
With Route 66’s centennial celebration approaching, these murals are a reminder of Edmond’s role in the rich history of the Mother Road and offer a fun way to experience local art and history at the same time.
Community Involvement Matters
At Ed White Law, we’ve enjoyed being part of the Edmond community for many years, and this year has been especially meaningful as we’ve participated in Leadership Edmond through the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce. The program highlights just how many dedicated individuals and organizations are working to strengthen our city.
Leadership Edmond has provided a unique opportunity to learn more about the people, programs, and initiatives that make Edmond such a special place to live and work. From economic development to community service, it’s inspiring to see so many residents committed to supporting our city’s growth and success.
As the weather begins to warm up, it’s also the perfect time to get out and get involved in the community. Whether that means supporting local restaurants through the rebate program, attending community events, exploring historic Route 66, or volunteering with local organizations, every small effort contributes to the vibrancy of Edmond.
Enjoy Edmond This Spring
March is shaping up to be a great time to experience everything Edmond has to offer. Enjoy a meal at a local restaurant, take advantage of the rebate program, explore the city’s Route 66 murals, and consider ways to stay engaged with the community.
At Ed White Law, we’re proud to be part of Edmond and look forward to continuing to support the businesses, organizations, and residents who make this community thrive.
