KC deli, barbecue spot closes. Owner says ‘terrible' parking contributed

After a year in an iconic River Market space, a Kansas City deli and barbecue restaurant has decided to pack up. Car No. 551 — located in a 1940s streetcar dubbed “ Trolley Tom ” — served its last pulled pork sandwich at 426 Delaware St. on Sunday. There are a few things that contributed to the closure, owner William Jordan told The Star in an interview Tuesday. Business hasn’t been what he hoped. Foot traffic dipped during the World Cup and has only recently rebounded for him, he said. But a lack of accessible parking spaces was a notable hurdle, he said. “Parking is terrible,” Jordan told The Star. “The contract company that’s doing all the parking control for the city is overreaching.” “As soon as people park, they write tickets.” Sue Patterson, a spokeswoman with the City Market, sent a written statement in response to The Star’s questions about area parking. “We’re always sorry to see a neighborhood business close, and we wish Mr. Jordan well in his future endeavors,” Patterson wrote in part. “City Market offers free two-hour parking in City Market square (on Walnut Street between 3rd and 5th Streets) on weekdays year-round and on weekends

Kansas City's newest Asian store opens in longtime grocery spot

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. Like Piang does with product requests, he set to work ironing out the details to make their wishes come to fruition. 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. It’s an impressive upgrade, considering his KCK spot at 7925 State Ave. is around 3,200 square feet. Piang said Zoland’s first few days in the new store have been sufficiently busy. While he’s waiting to fill some spaces with
