Months after an Asian supermarket vacated its former Overland Park space, a home goods retailer appears to be eyeing it.
Tesolife, a New York-based retailer selling mostly Japanese goods, has a new store in the works in Overland Park — its first in Johnson County.
Tesolife is coming to 11940 Metcalf Ave.
- The store is moving into the former Pan-Asia Market space at the Overland Crossing shopping center, just off 119th Street and Blue Valley Parkway.
- Pan-Asia Market occupied that space for nearly a decade before it moved across 119th Street to a new larger space at the Southglen shopping center.
- The site is also near Whole Foods at the shopping center.
Tesolife offers Japanese home goods
- Tesolife markets itself as a “Japanese fashion casual life product store” based in New York, that works with Japanese product suppliers and developers to sell goods in the U.S.
- Customers at Tesolife can find household items like laundry bins, dishes, hand soap and picture hooks.
- Tesolife also offers health and beauty items like face masks, serums and toners.
- Outside of home and beauty, Tesolife also sells snacks like cookies, chips, candy and nuts.
This marks the first Tesolife store in Johnson County
- The new Overland Park store also serves as the first in the wider Kansas City area for the New York-based company.
- Tesolife was founded in 2017 and now has stores in several states across the country.
- According to its website, the company is also in the process of expanding into many new states besides Kansas — some of which include California, Alaska, Colorado and Minnesota.
