Shaved ice shack makes Johnson County debut in Overland Park

The new snow cone shack at 135th and Nieman officially opened on Wednesday.

Amidst cold temps, a new frozen treat shack brought a splash of summer to Johnson County this week.

Texas-based shaved ice company Bahama Buck’s debuted in Overland Park on Wednesday.

Bahama Buck’s opened at 11110 W. 135th St.

  • The shop opened at the St. Andrew’s Plaza shopping center in Overland Park, on the northwest corner of 135th Street and Nieman Road.
  • The newly-built space is near soda shop Swig, which opened at the same shopping center in August 2025.
  • Bahama Buck’s is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Bahama Buck’s serves snow cones and other sweet treats

  • Customers can choose from a variety (and combination) of flavors and toppings to create the snow cone of their choice.
  • The Bahama Buck’s menu also features some pre-curated “signature” flavors, such as tropical blue coconut, strawberry cheesecake delight and peach cobbler.
  • In addition to shaved ice, Bahama Buck’s also serves other items like fruit smoothies, flavored Red Bull drinks, tropical-flavored sodas, and frozen coffee drinks.

This marks the first Bahama Buck’s in Johnson County

  • The new Overland Park shop also serves as the first Bahama Buck’s location in the wider Kansas City metro area.
  • Bahama Buck’s initially launched in Lubbock, Texas in 1990.
  • Today, the tropical-themed brand has more than 100 locations across the country, which includes two in Missouri.
