What are the liquor laws like up there? Can they sell booze in grocery stores?

Oh yeah. Prolly the best liquor store I've ever been to is inside/next to the Hyvee. It's ginormous and you just wheel your shopping cart full of apples or whatever into the booze side and shop your ass off. They have a guy dedicated to micro brews and a wine guy that will each answer all your questions and special order stuff. Very elite.

Why do you need to ask questions about Night Train, just unscrew the cap and throw it away, then enjoy.

I can't see it happening until KS changes their weird liquor laws

Kansas won't change their stupid liquor laws. Too many Jeffy's out there in western KS.

Oh, I know. I love her explanation of solving two problems which are both, in addition to the liquor thing, main reasons why it won't work.

Yeah and she is just trying to do what that other guy did with Chick-Fil-A which I still don't think has panned out to anything yet.

Sometimes I go to trader joe's when the line is too long at Rodman's or Dean & Deluca's. Or if I'm just in the mood for second-rate pizza dough.

they screwed the pooch on that one. i don't blame TJ's as much as I do RED Development (jackass east plaza company). they sold them a bag of goods with both locations being complete crap.

I think Ward is a formerly elite center that is on the cusp of some great things. It's not like there is anywhere to build it on plaza and Brookside could be the most expensive place to build/open a new place in the city. Makes sense to me and it's not a horrible from west plaza.

ya i've thought about it a little bit after discussing with some friends and agree they haven't done too bad. brookside/waldo is the first and obvious choice, but they already have two boutque markets (brookside and constantinos).

south plaza on main street (near where the double dragon used to be) would have been the elitest for me. nothing on west plaza is zoned corrrectly for a TJs.

i hate any new development in south leawood.

Going to need reviews/input from KC users. Both locations are 45min from my house. Not sure I can say it would be worth it???

You're going to want to go to the Mizzou one because they will have booze (unless KS has recently changed their weird liquor laws).

pissclams · « **Reply #48 on:** September 16, 2010, 12:42:45 PM »

neither location is worth a 90 minute round trip drive. it's a rough ridin' grocery store.

There are stores in KS that have the liquor under the same roof, but seperated by a small glass wall, same in Massachusetts and there are plenty of TJs there.
