Healthy eatery Flower Child eyes former Houlihan’s space in Leawood

The Arizona-based eatery, which opened in Prairie Village this summer, would join other new restaurants at Town Center Plaza's "French Corner."

Just months after making its Prairie Village debut, a healthy eatery has already set its sights on another Johnson County city.

Arizona-based Flower Child has filed plans to open a new location as part of a redeveloping part of the Town Center Plaza shopping center in Leawood.

Flower Child is coming to 119th Street and Roe Avenue

  • The restaurant aims to take over a space on the south side of the Town Center Plaza shopping center in Leawood.
  • The site was previously occupied by Houlihan’s, which closed earlier this year.
  • Eventually, if plans are approved, Flower Child will be one of multiple new restaurants at the redeveloping site (newly dubbed French Corner).

  • The restaurant serves dishes like avocado caesar salads, chicken enchiladas and black bean falafel wraps.
  • Flower Child also serves sides like sweet potato fries, roasted brussels sprouts and gluten-free mac and cheese.
  • The restaurant also offers sweet treats like chocolate chip cookies and lemon olive oil cake.

Another Flower Child recently opened in Johnson County

  • The company made its Kansas City area debut earlier this year, at the Corinth Quarter shopping center in Prairie Village.
  • The new Leawood location would be the Arizona-based brand’s second location in Johnson County.
  • Flower Child is owned by Arizona-based Fox Restaurant Concepts — which itself operates The Cheesecake Factory ownership umbrella, and has multiple other concepts besides Flower Child.
