Thang Piang has built a loyal following at his international grocery store — Zoland Asian Market in Kansas City, Kansas, — for the past six years. He aims to please the community, providing whatever goods customers request from Thailand, China, Japan and beyond. One recurring petition from customers has been another, larger store.

Finally, after two years of searching for the perfect spot, Zoland has opened a second grocery store. It’s taken over a historic building, which has housed several other grocers, at 7613 NW Prairie View Road. “I had a few customers asking, ‘Hey, why don’t you open up in the Northland, there’s no Asian grocery store here,’” he said. “People drive all the way (there) from Kansas City every single day.” His new location boasts a sprawling 21,000 square feet of produce, meats, frozen food and dry goods.
