A locally-owned grocery store chain is closing one of its Overland Park stores after more than 30 years in business.
Employees at Price Chopper’s store off 75th Street and Metcalf Avenue confirmed on Wednesday that the store will soon close — as did representatives with Balls Food Stores, the store’s Kansas City-based owners.
The store opened on Oct. 22, 1994, with a Power Rangers-themed event, according to a framed set of pictures inside the store. The pictures show a line of people stretching around the store’s corner onto the sidewalk along 75th Street.
Price Chopper is closing at 7000 W. 75th St
- The grocery store occupies a space just off 75th Street and Metcalf, near Hawaiian eatery Mo’ Bettahs.
- Via a media release, officials with the company said the store will remain open until all merchandise is sold which, beginning Wednesday, will sell at a 33% or higher discount.
- The company also said that each of the store’s employees have been offered positions at other Price Chopper stores in the area.

“Our team has worked hard to provide a great shopping experience, and we’re incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built with our guests,” said the company via a release. “We are especially grateful to the loyal customers who have supported this store through the years—and to the teammates who have made it such a welcoming place to shop.”
Price Chopper still has 3 more Overland Park stores
- The grocery store chain still has several stores across Overland Park.
- Outside of Overland Park, Price Chopper also has locations in Gardner, Leawood, Lenexa, Olathe, Roeland Park, Shawnee and Spring Hill.
- Outside of Johnson County, the company has several stores on the Missouri side as well as a couple in Wyandotte County.
Another grocer recently closed nearby
- Discount grocery Save A Lot also recently closed its store at 9850 W. 87th St.
- At the time, Save A Lot had been in Overland Park for roughly a decade.
- Its closure served as its departure from Johnson County as a whole.
