Is the owner of United Market at Linwood a grocery whisperer? He's opening No. 2

It might be becoming a thing. The guy who took over the former Sun Fresh in the Linwood Shopping Center to save a grocery store for East Side Kansas City residents in the Prospect corridor might have a knack for turning around urban markets. We’ll see, because that guy, Anthony Estrada , just took on a new challenge: managing another grocery store in what used to be The Merc Co+op, a community-owned market in Kansas City, Kansas. It’s a project Estrada said he’s been working toward for more than a year. And now it looks like he may be only two or three months away from opening what will be his second urban grocery store. It will be a United Market, just like the store he opened in May at 31st Street and Prospect Avenue in Kansas City. The Kansas store will have the same logo as the Linwood Shopping Center store — hands cupping a piece of fruit — and share the same color scheme, so he is going for a recognizable look. Like the United Market on the Missouri side, the KCK market will be owned and subsidized by the local government. Estrada has the management contract, charging

New Crossroads coffee shop made to ‘embrace curiosity' and empower baristas

A coffee shop focused on both the quality of its product and its work culture is opening in Kansas City’s Crossroads neighborhood. “Everything is set out to be very intentional and hospitality-forward; really connecting with people is the goal,” said Jacob Kingsley, the owner of Flowstate Coffee . The coffee shop is aiming to open at 401 E 19th St ., near Brewery Emperial and Cosmo Burger in early January. Kingsley, a career barista, had been waiting on this opportunity for years. Kingsley, who goes by they/him pronouns, fell in love with coffee during college. Before then, caffeine was the attraction. “I wasn’t really a coffee drinker. I knew I liked caffeine because, you know, staying up late and writing papers and stuff,” they said. One of their music professors in college hosted a Thursday French press club and would bring a random brew to the group. That was Kingsley’s first experience purposefully drinking coffee black and the first time they tasted notes besides burnt. Later in college, Kingsley became a barista, chose that as their career path and continued to develop their love for coffee and the differences between the quality of beans. As the experience grew, so did

Johnson County Mexican restaurant closes last location after 13 years

After serving the Kansas City area for 13 years, a Mexican-style taco concept has closed its second and last location. Taco Republic closed its Prairie Village location Wednesday at 4100 W. 83rd St., marking the end of its brick-and-mortar era. “From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for making Taco Republic so special. We hope to see you before we say goodbye to our Prairie Village location,” the restaurant announced Thursday. It promised to continue catering, so its taco truck will still pop up around the metro. The “not-your-standard Mexican restaurant,” its website calls itself, started in 2013 at Mission and County Line Roads in Kansas City, Kansas, where Joe’s Next Door now lives. In 2019, restaurateur Whitney VinZant took over Taco Republic and added it to his growing portfolio of concepts in the metro, which now includes Louie’s Wine Dive, Gram & Dun, Louie’s Reserve (formerly Cafe Trio) and BrewTop. Taco Republic opened a second location in 2021 in Prairie Village’s Corinth Square. It neighbored Johnny’s Tavern, Modern Market Eatery and BRGR (also a VinZant concept). Just a couple months ago, health concept Flower Child opened nearby at 3915 W. 83rd St. — and it’s already gearing up
