A national coffee chain plans to expand its Johnson County presence this year.
In the midst of working toward a new location in Merriam, Starbucks plans to open another new Johnson County location in Overland Park.
A Starbucks spokesperson told the Post the new Starbucks location aims to open in Overland Park this winter.
Starbucks will operate at 75th Street and Frontage Road
- Starbucks plans to open a new space just off West 75th Street, near Quest Diagnostics and across the street from AdventHealth Shawnee Mission.
- It will operate as part of the redeveloped Georgetown Plaza project.
- Led by Kansas City-based Drake Development, the project entails both office and commercial spaces.
Starbucks already has roughly 50 JoCo locations
- Between stand-alone stores and those within grocery stores and other venues, the Washington-based chain operates roughly 50 Starbucks coffee shops across Johnson County as is.
- The Georgetown Plaza location would also serve as the sixth Starbucks in Overland Park.
- “We’re excited to provide our partners with an exciting modern workspace and look forward to welcoming our Overland Park customers to our new location in early winter,” the company said in a statement.
Another Starbucks is in the works nearby
- The company also plans to open a new store at the Merriam Grand Station project — another Drake Development project off Shawnee Mission Parkway and Antioch Road.
- Starbucks is one of several food and drink tenants planned for the development — joining Mediterranean chain CAVA, “New American” restaurant and brewery 30hop, and breakfast eatery HomeGrown.
- Construction is currently underway on Merriam Grand Station, with developers expecting it to finish by 2026.
