Kansas City side of Liberty business area. East of JCP, south of Corner Cafe, between Church RD and Flintlock. Great location near connection to new flyover.

Liberty & Tiffany Springs. No word on North Oak but it is very outdated and poorly located.

I am not sure the Northland can support three locations. When you think about Home Depot and Lowes, they too have locations here and at I-29/152 and I-35/152. I think the North Oak Location is fine. It has very easy access to I-29, and also serves those who live downtown and River market.

I just hope there isn't another inner ring empty suburban big box.

That would suck. Does that location serve the urban core at all or does Costco have that market cornered?

The clientele looks to be more of what suburbanites think of "urban core" than the patrons of midtown Costco. I live only half a mile away but only use the gas station. For other shopping I drive down to Costco.

The wife and I went to the Sam's Club on N. Oak yesterday. There was a large chunk of the parking lot cordoned off for an expansion of the store off the NE corner of the building. New steel is going up outside and the pavement was stripped away from the face of the building out a ways. It looks like they were shuffling some stuff around inside, too. I'd wager that this one is safe for the near future.

Been going on for awhile now. They're expanding the front of the store.

FYI, they have started construction on the Sam's Club just south of the Corner Cafe, across the street from the JCP off Flintlock Rd.

if you've ever been to the N. Oak Sam's on a Saturday you'd know they're way beyond capacity. they can have a dozen lanes open with lines 8 deep on all of them and stay that way for hours.

adding two stores makes sense at this point. especially when we're talking about doubling the population of the northland over the next few decades.

keep in mind this Sam's Club draws from south of the river and way into rural areas to the north.

the only other alternative for most of central KC is Costco. So this store draws from places like downtown and such.

The N. Oak Sam's Club also draws heavily from Wyandotte County as does the Price Chopper on N. Oak & Vivion, which for some reason also draws a lot of Eastern Europeans who work and shop there. Serbs, Bosnian's, Russians.
