Popular JoCo doughnut shop opens first Kansas City spot, with drive-thru, patio & more
For the past 50 years, Mr. D’s has served coffee and doughnuts in the Kansas City area, though only in Johnson County up to this point. As of this week, it’s expanded its footprint to include its first location on the Missouri side — and the first one with a drive-thru, too. Mr. D’s has opened its third location (fourth, if you include its spot inside AdventHealth in Lenexa) at 2001 W. Pennsylvania Ave. in the Crossroads. The longtime shop is finally giving KCMO a taste of what Kansans have been devouring for half a decade. It took over a 10,000 square-foot building next to the highway, which was formerly a Pinnacle Imports wine shop. Owner Johnny Chen said his team wanted to utilize as much of the larger space as possible. “We knocked down almost half of it to convert it into a drive-thru, which is all covered, and a patio,” he explained. Even after cutting through the building, this is Mr. D’s biggest spot yet. Chen and his wife, Boggie Otgonbayar, have owned Mr. D’s for the past seven years. In that time, they’ve opened a spot in the Lenexa Public Market and brought their doughnuts to shops
