Johnson County café closes ‘with a heavy heart' after a year in business

After a year and a few months in business, a Johnson County international café has closed. Taiwanese-based chain 85°C Bakery Cafe , which has locations across the world, closed its Overland Park location on Halloween. The former bakery and coffee shop had signs on its door Monday morning that alerted fans to its exit. “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of our bakery …” the notice read in part. “We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all our customers for your loyalty, trust, and support over the years.” The lights were off and product had been moved out of the store. In June 2025, the location opened at 12061 Metcalf Ave., serving individually packaged pastries: jumbo guava cheese strudels, milk butter puff pastries, cocoa-dipped Danishes, pineapple cake and more. The opening day was received with long lines and excitement from fans who had been to 85°C’s locations in Hawaii, Texas and beyond. Around that same time, international chain Paris Baguette opened its first area location at 11137 W. 95th St. near Oak Park Mall. That chain, based in South Korea, now also has locations at 15895 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park and 1360

Royals-tied company buys 28-story office tower near Crown Center, future stadium site

A company tied to the Royals purchased a 28-story office building near Crown Center, the team confirmed Thursday. The Kansas City Business Journal was the first to report that the affiliate, 2345 Real Estate Holdings LLC, recently purchased the tower at 2345 Grand Blvd., alongside a four-story building in the same complex. The building is about half vacant after Lathrop GPM moved to a nearby location this year. The team would like existing tenants to stay in the building while looking for new ones, including office tenants, as the building joins what will become a broader ballpark district and “live-work-play neighborhood” centered on Crown Center and a new Royals stadium that will replace the existing Hallmark headquarters. The Royals will not be putting their future offices in 2345 Grand, but will be building offices near the future ballpark, which is expected to begin construction next year. A Royals-tied company also purchased the former Blue Cross Blue Shield building, also near Crown Center, at 2301 Main St. earlier this year. Plans for that property are to be announced.

Chiefs WR Rashee Rice files for bankruptcy, claiming more than $3.45 million in debt

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy on Wednesday, Nov. 4, claiming millions in liabilities, much of which was tied to a 2024 car crash. Rice claimed just $677,054 in personal assets against more than $3.45 million in debts, according to the filing. More than $3.27 million was the product of unsecured debts via civil litigation, business debt and consumer debt. Among Rice's listed assets in the filing were a 2023 Mercedes-Benz valued at $53,800 and a Super Bowl 58 ring valued at $160,000. In March 2024, Rice was driving 119 mph in a Lamborghini Urus on a Dallas highway before causing a six-car crash , according to an arrest warrant. The following July, he pleaded guilty to third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury. Rice was found to have violated his probation in May 2026 after testing positive for marijuana. He was ordered to spend 30 days in jail. Attorney Marc Lenahan told WFAA in July 2025 his client, Kathryn Kuykendall, had not received payment after Rice agreed to a $1 million settlement when an Uber she was riding in was struck by Rice's
