A discount retailer has closed multiple Kansas City area stores, including one in Johnson County.

Missouri-based Retail Rebel closed its doors in Olathe on Friday, citing challenges related to “current economic conditions” as the reason.

Retail Rebel was at 873 S. Parker St.

• The store occupied a space just off Parker Street and Virginia Lane in Olathe.
• The store has been in its Olathe space since at least 2019.
• Retail Rebel was also near fellow discount retailer Dollar Tree and the Lone Elm Antique Mall.

Other Kansas City area stores are closing

• The company, based in Liberty, Missouri, closed two more stores in Belton and Claycomo, Missouri.
• Those stores closed on Friday, at the same time as the Olathe store.
• The Olathe store was Retail Rebel’s only store in Johnson County.
• Retail Rebel still has one more store in Kansas City, Kansas.

Something else recently closed nearby

• Near the former Retail Rebel on the same corner of Parker Street and Virginia Lane, burger chain Hardee’s also recently closed its doors in Olathe.
• The Tennessee-based fast food chain also closed a location in Overland Park, in addition to its Olathe location.
• Those two were the last locations in Johnson County for Hardee’s.
