With three new businesses and more on the way, Shawnee Station shopping center is experiencing a slew of positive changes.
In addition to the opening of a new Five Below location, a new Bath & Body Works store and Twisted Sugar locations opened in the plaza just north of Shawnee Mission Parkway on both sides of Maurer Road.
“To have all the small shops and the big boxes filled, we’re pretty excited about it,” said Denise Ferro, a managing agent with Shawnee Station’s primary leaser Rubenstein Real Estate Co.

- The popular retail chain opened in late September in the former Carter’s and OshKosh B’gosh next to Beauty Brands.

Twisted Sugar opened its latest location

- Similar to Crumbl Cookies, it specializes in making a constantly-changing menu of cookie flavors, from PB Nutela to Pumpkin Cheesecake to Oatmeal Chocolate Chip.
- The menu also features special soda creations, like a variety of flavored Coke and Mountain Dew beverages.
- Twisted Sugar has multiple locations in the Kansas City area since 2021. Its first location opened in Overland Park, 6780 W. 135th St., and another one opened last year at 11929 W. 119th St.
Construction is underway for new Chase Bank branch
- The new stand-alone building is under construction at 15440 Shawnee Mission Parkway.
- It will be located between IHOP and T-Mobile on the edge of the parking lot in front of Kohl’s and Rally House.

Only one vacancy after Spirit Halloween leaves
- With all of the new stores coming in, Ferro said they’re still working to bring in a store at the old Bed, Bath & Beyond location.
- “The only vacancy we have is Bed, Bath & Beyond, which is currently filled by Spirit Halloween. But we’re working to fill that too,” she said.
