Zona Rosa Phase II Update

Went up to ZR last Thursday to catch a comedy show at the Improv.  We got up there a bit early so we checked out Dillards and the Phase II developments.  The Dillards is nice, upscale, and well, a Dillards.  The whole Phase II area seems to be a step up aesthetically from phase I.
I saw the following businesses open, or about to open:

  • Dillards (open)
  • Coldwater Creek (open)
  • Gymboree (not open)
  • Chicos (not open)
  • An unidentified clothing store (not open)

I also saw signs stating that Select Comfort, Red Robin and Citizens Bank were coming soon..



Shoal Creek Plaza Update

As most readers know, Circuit City has pulled out of the Kansas City market.  Currently, their less than one year old location in Shoal Creek Plaza is having a going out of business sale.  If you want to buy over priced electronics for 20% off then thats the place for you.  I'm curious as to how long that building will sit empty.  It would make a great location for a bookstore or a speciality grocery store (whole foods).

Also, NY Fresh Deli has closed, it looks like the concept didnt work at Zona Rosa and it didnt work in Shoal Creek.  I think that once the economy turns around and they open the road connecting Shoal Creek Plaza with Shoal Creek Parkway, this center will take off.
