Discount grocery store Save A Lot closes its Overland Park store

The closure of the Overland Park store serves as the company’s departure from Johnson County.

Discount grocer Save A Lot has officially left Johnson County after roughly a decade.

The Missouri-based company had signs on the door of its Overland Park store this week announcing its closure.

Save A Lot was at 9850 W. 87th St.

  • The store occupied a space just off 87th and Farley streets, near Central Resource Library and the 87th Street Apartments.
  • It has occupied that space since at least the end of 2016.
  • Officials with the company did not immediately respond to inquiries from the Post about the closure.
