A former furniture store in Overland Park will soon be filled with people doing laundry.
Missouri-owned laundromat The Laundry Place has submitted plans to open a new space at a prominent site on Metcalf Avenue near downtown Overland Park.
The Laundry Place is coming to 7600 Metcalf Ave.
- The facility aims to take over a space just off 76th Street and Metcalf Avenue, just north of downtown Overland Park.
- There, it will operate near Anytime Fitness and Pizza Hut.
- The space was previously occupied by the Nadeau furniture store.
The Laundry Place offer will offer full-scale laundry service
- Saint Joseph, Missouri-based Tom Lawson owns the laundromat — along with other laundromats in the Kansas City metro area.
- When reached by the Post, Lawson said there was not an opening timeline yet for the Overland Park facility.
- “(It’s) going to be a nice, clean facility,” he said.
The space has been vacant for roughly three years
- Nadeau closed its doors in Overland Park in May 2022.
- Boasting “furniture with a soul”, the store was known for its hardwood furniture and home accessories.
- The company no longer has a Johnson County store after its departure from Overland Park, but still has roughly 26 stores across the country.
