State sues developers of Derby Shores project because ‘it has not been built'
Journalists have asked a lot of questions about the numerous false starts and delays at Derby Shores — part of a state-financed STAR bond district — and now the Kansas Department of Commerce wants answers. “More than four years after the project was approved and bonds were sold, it has not been built,” the state said in a lawsuit filed this month in Sedgwick County District Court . “Announced opening dates have come and gone.” The suit is against Derby Destination Development , a team consisting of Dave Murfin, Rick Worner and Rodney Steven II.

The opening should still happen next week, though, he said. The Derby restaurant’s hours will be 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. daily. Gonzalez started The Easy Egg at 240 N. Main in Haysville in 2019. Two years later, he moved the restaurant to Wichita, saying he wasn’t busy enough during the week in Haysville. His first Wichita restaurant opened in the former Denny’s building on West Kellogg in August 2021. In February 2024, he opened one at 3130 N. Rock Road then added one at 3520 N. Maize Road.
