CrissCross

Our story

From Oklahoma City roots to a local market beginning in our first community.

Where the name comes from

Towns grew up where roads crossed.

That’s where neighbors met to trade what they made and grew. CrissCross brings that crossroads online: one place where a home kitchen, a farm, a studio and a Main Street store stand side by side, and every new Shop gives neighbors one more reason to look.

  1. 1936Oklahoma City. CrissCross begins connecting local businesses and residents.
  2. 2009Our family carries that work forward.
  3. 2026Norman. The next chapter: a local market, online.
A paper-cut United States with crossing paths connecting a home porch, farm, studio and Main Street
Built to work in any U.S. town. Starting in Norman.
In Terry’s words
“CrissCross Local Market is our next chapter, making it easier for neighbors to find and support one another. Local is your advantage. Being found should come naturally. We’re starting here to help neighbors discover you, remember you and think of you first. If you make, grow or sell something here, I’d love for you to be one of the first.”

How CrissCross is paid for

We built CrissCross the way we'd want a local market to work: no required platform fees, no sales commission, no ads and no paying to be seen. We earn our keep by being worth coming back to. Our plan is to support it through optional tips from the people who find it useful.
