The restaurant and movie theater duo first opened in 2013, and underwent two rebrandings. A NextDoor post shows Standees selling its movie theater chairs, and the user said in the caption that the two businesses were closed.

Reached on the phone, Standees owner Peter Brown declined to speak to the Shawnee Mission Post. Brown has not responded to an emailed request for comment by time of publication. C. Frog’s management has not responded to multiple inquiries about the future of the restaurant. A representative of First Washington Realty, which owns the Village Shops, declined to comment on the status of the businesses as well.
Standees opened as a restaurant and movie theater concept in May 2013. The business opened with three theaters, each with about 85 seats. At that time, then-Chief Executive Officer Frank Rash said he hoped the restaurant and theater concept would be replicated elsewhere across the country.
