Coco Bolos will pivot to focus on catering

  • Coco Bolos will now focus exclusively on catering and private events, according to a post on the restaurant’s Facebook page.
  • In the post, owners thanked customers for their support over the past decade.
  • “We have had an amazing run… and now a new chapter is here for us,” the post read. “We’ve cherished every moment with you! Thank you for being part of our journey.”

Prairiefire has seen a lot of recent activity

  • The closure of Coco Bolos for dine-in marks the latest in a growing number of changes at the southern Overland Park shopping center.
  • A space previously intended for a grocery store will reportedly become a family-friendly entertainment center at Prairiefire later this year.
  • Two national food and drink brands, fast-casual eatery Salad and Go and coffee chain Dutch Bros, also intend to build new locations at Prairiefire.
