New Taco Bell going in on Metcalf in southern Overland Park

Taco Bell is working to open its newest Johnson County location in south Overland Park near 159th Street and Metcalf Avenue. 

The fast food chain is building the new franchise at 15881 Metcalf Ave. in the Blue Valley Retail Center, which is set to open sometime in 2023, according to company officials.

Plans for the new store were approved last year

  • Last January, a final development plan for the 2,300-square-foot Taco Bell was approved by the Overland Park City Council, according to city documents.
  • In the same plan, a 600-square-foot Scooter’s Coffee was approved to be constructed directly south of the new Taco Bell, in the same strip mall.

This will make 7 Taco Bells in Overland Park

  • Currently, the company has four locations in south Overland Park and two inside the 435 loop.
  • The new restaurant will also be the fast food chain’s second location along Metcalf, with a current drive-thru at 9690 Metcalf Ave.
