A new convenience store is on its way to downtown Overland Park. Casey’s joins a growing list of new tenants that opened in the popular retail area this year.
What’s going on? Renovations — including new signage with the company’s recently-updated logo — are underway on a space that will reportedly become a new Casey’s store at West 81st Street and Metcalf Avenue.
Where exactly: The store will open at 8055 Metcalf Ave., across from the former UMB Bank site.
As part of its first-floor retail component, the store will occupy a space at the Avenue 81 independent and assisted senior living facility.
Bigger picture: This is not the only recent expansion into Johnson County in the works for the Iowa-based gas and convenience store chain.
The company also intends to open a new store on Johnson Drive in downtown Mission. That project is in the early stages.
The new downtown Overland Park Casey’s would be the second one in town, but Johnson County is already home to quite a few Casey’s locations, including in Lenexa, Shawnee and Olathe.
Casey’s officials did not immediately respond to inquiries about when the store will open.
