A popular bookseller has set its sights on another Johnson County location.
Barnes & Noble has submitted plans to open a new store at the Bluhawk development in southern Overland Park.
Barnes & Noble will operate at 7840 W. 161st St.
- The company aims to open a new store at the Bluhawk mixed-use development, just off West 159th Street and U.S. Highway 69.
- There, it will operate near other retailers like T.J. Maxx and Sierra.
- It will also be near the new AdventHealth Sports Park, which will open later this fall.
This marks the third Barnes & Noble in Johnson County
- The New York-based bookseller has another Overland Park store at the Oak Park Mall.
- Barnes & Noble also has a store at Leawood’s Town Center Plaza shopping center.
- Across the state line, the company also has two stores in Kansas City, Missouri.
Bluhawk is undergoing significant growth
- Barnes & Noble comes as the latest of several recent additions to the growing mixed-use development — most recently following baby apparel retailer Carter’s.
- The development by Kansas City-based Price Brothers Management Co. will continue to grow in terms of retail, with a new retail phase called The Boundary set to open by 2026.
- The AdventHealth Sports Park will also open to the public soon, with a grand opening planned for Oct. 26.
