From corporate IT to building a business around memorable meals 🍽️

After the 2008 recession prompted Mark and Becky Chapman to rethink their plans, they discovered Melting Pot and knew they’d found something special. They opened their first restaurant in Tulsa, followed by Oklahoma City, and most recently Destin, Florida.

For the Chapmans, franchising is about more than a proven business model. It’s about a supportive, family-oriented community, a dedicated team, and creating a place where guests can celebrate life’s special moments.

“It’s not just a job… it has become our identity.” — Becky Chapman

Here’s to the people and partnerships that make every gathering around the fondue pot memorable. 🥂

For these local franchisee owners, follow the full story on our Melting Pot website located in our bio.

For more than 20 years, our partnership with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital has been about more than tradition, it’s about making a difference together. 💛

As Bob Johnston, Chairman of the Board, shared, hosting our team members at St. Jude is a highlight of every year - an opportunity to see firsthand the impact of what they and our guests support.

And that impact adds up: Thanks to last year’s Donate & Dine campaign, we were able to donate $1,278,308 to St. Jude. Guests donate $20 and receive $30 toward a future visit, helping keep generosity in motion.

The Melting Pot is proud of our partnership with St. Jude and grateful to our franchisees, team members, and guests for making a difference - together.
