Our Drive
We are committed to being known nationally whilst always staying involved with communities. Our mission is to be connected with every community that we are welcomed in to serve our food in.
“I want to tell you all something about myself really quickly, I love food.”
- Kaden Foster, Owner of Stop N Fry
With that said, we at Stop N Fry love good food and we understand the preconceptions that fast food might have when it comes to serving good quality meals at low prices efficiently. Stop N Fry will not be your average fast food with low prices and half decent meals. Our meals will always be prepared fresh and quality on par with high-end cuisine for prices built for the community.
Why? “Because I was a college student and everyone knows about that struggle of running out of food court points or café meals at school. But not everything around you is always affordable and good quality, it’s a struggle truly for us that love food and our mission is to help with that problem.”
- Kaden Foster, Owner of Stop N Fry
How do we plan on getting involved in every community?
Our “2025 Annual Hoop N Cook” event is just the beginning. Our plan is to host other similar smaller events across the Midwest.
“We want to be an outlet for athletes that compete and the people that love good food just like I do.” - Kaden Foster, Owner of Stop N Fry
The events we host will not be only to serve great quality food to the community and compete against each other. We will also make sure we hold other activities to give everyone a chance to get involved by doing things such as, demonstrating how to rig a fishing pole and explaining all the certain items you need for it, having a demonstration on how to filet catfish correctly and reap the most benefits out of your hunt, and 3 point contest for different age groups to participate in (The winners of this could also potentially win prizes).
What to expect from Stop N Fry soon.
Stop N Fry has plans to not only host events throughout the Midwest but to also open up brick and mortar restaurants throughout the region. Our goal is to open at least one official Stop N Fry location by the end of 2026. That will come with a lot of hard work from not only us but the community as we cannot succeed without the community. Community is the backbone of success. With that being said we want all of you to stay updated on every move we make, so stay updated on our social media @ StopNFry everywhere so you can know where we might be next. Throughout the entirety of 2025 we will be hosting pop up events to win prizes. That is not the only reason to stay activate on our social media, we will always be opening frequently throughout 2025 in pop up kitchens, food trucks, or even just for delivery, staying active on our social media ensures you never miss out on these opportunities to enjoy our food.
"Stop N Fry was recently created in May of 2025, we know and understand we're small and just starting out. Like one of my coaches in high school told me 'Don't start doing good things tomorrow because tomorrow starts with today' and that's exactly why we plan on doing things and making moves now. We want our plans to get set in motion immediately to set us up for a better tomorrow because no matter how little of a step it is one step forward is a good step for the future and one step closer to achieving your goals." - Kaden Foster, Owner of Stop N Fry
What we are asking of the community.
We can only do so much by ourselves. We as people not only know this but have seen that this is true that's we're asking that the community come be apart of our journey as well. The impact and connections that we can make as a community if we all working together is amazing and truly underestimated. We want to put that power to action and create something bigger than food or basketball, we are creating community and opportunity. These opportunities that we are trying to create will not only be beneficial to your community but also to the next community after you because the more we grow and gain recognition every time we visit a community means more opportunities allowing the next community after that to grow even more and prosper from these opportunities and be seen. This is no easy task but from strength within the community and connections we can make it is not impossible by any means. Contribute by being active on our social media and sharing our posts and helping this community grow. Volunteers and donations forms can be found on the Forms page.
Why should I want to compete?
As we stated before Stop N Fry is for the community, we want to give every athlete that comes and competes a chance to be seen. Let the world know you exist. We are building toward something bigger than food and even bigger than basketball, we are building towards competition. With that being said we want you to compete so know that every Stop N Fry event will always have a grand prize for its winners.
We will not be stopping there. This is just the beginning stage. We believe those special athletes that come to compete and not only compete but work the hardest to win should be recognized. That’s why our mission to grow and be recognized is so big to us, it’s not just about getting food to communities everywhere or competing to win prizes. It’s about giving athletes from communities everywhere an opportunity to be seen not only in Tulsa but nationally.
Our plans is getting athletes recognition to be scouted and heard of. Stop N Fry plans on sponsoring select athletes that are showing the fruit of their work by competing. But that comes with time and patience. Though these athletes will not just be any winners of any event, these will be the best of the best who have come and competed, showing that winning an event one time is just too easy. Our plan is to grow big enough to sponsor at least Five Stop N Fry Athletes by the end of 2030.
That is no easy task by any means but hard does not mean impossible. With that being said it would be close to impossible to achieve that by ourselves, that’s why we want to grow with communities and help find athletes. Not only giving the opportunity to get seen but opportunity for communities to enjoy these events as well and grow closer.
Let’s grow together.
“For me I grew up playing sports from backyard to elementary to collegiate and no matter what sport it was one thing is always the same. The joy and experience you gain not only personally but as a group when you compete with each other to the maximum of your capacity to win is amazing. Nothing else is like it, that's my drive for competing even when it’s a friendly game.”
- Kaden Foster, Owner of Stop N Fry
I’m interested in competing. How do I start?
If you’re interested in competing you can start at this year's “Annual 2025 Hoop N Cook” to get your name out there right now.
If you miss this opportunity don’t think your chance is gone though. As previously stated we plan on hosting events throughout the Midwest and eventually nationally. But before that we will be spreading throughout the local Tulsa region hosting similar smaller Hoop N Cook events gathering competitive athletes that want to earn their spot and get their name known.
These events are not going to be just for entertainment, the winner of these small events will be given the opportunity to play once again at next year’s Annual Hoop N Cook. Knowing that this year's ”2025 First Annual Hoop N Cook” will be the last open invite. Next year you will need to have been invited to play. With that in mind, understand this will be your first opportunity to earn an invite to next year's "2026 Annual Hoop N Cook."
