Nah, there wasn't one at Branson Landing. The Branson one is on 165 at The Falls. Where it has been forever.

Nope, there was one on the water at the Landing which opened in 2010. The one on 165 closed a couple of years ago shortly thereafter. From what I can tell the Landing location closed with the Tanneycomo flooding last year and never reopened.
Looked up the SS website and no Missouri locations are listed.

Until today I didn't know about the other locations. Just thought it was local to Branson only.

Dammit, you're right. My apologies. How could I be so mistaken about my hometown? Probably because I don't go there anymore.

We can't wait to get back ta Branson. We're jus' lookin' fer a new place to hang our pots & pans. And we're always lookin' to meet new people in new places, but don't have anythin' set in stone right now.

As someone who lives in midtown, the location is almost as good as the news that IKEA is coming to KC.

The only one in KS and none in MO.

I'm setting aside my Missouri bias on this one--or at least trying to do as much. This is a plus for everybody, and thankfully it wasn't built in Olathe. It's actually somewhere that most of us (with cars, *grumble*) can visit without packing provisions.mgsports wrote:The only one in KS and none in MO.

Looks like they will demolish Merriam Village for this:
KSHB: IKEA to build new store at site of vacant Johnson County strip mall
Oh noes! We'll lose another pop-up Halloween store location!
