Costco Midtown Transformation Sparks Outcry | Lawrence News
Description
Costco’s Midtown, Kansas City location is set for a dramatic transformation into a business-only center, sparking outrage among locals who feel abandoned — the move eliminates everyday staples like TVs, clothes, and food courts, and neighbors say they were ignored during the announcement. While employees worry about job security and the location’s car-free accessibility, the new Lee’s Summit store is on track to open in August. The Midtown makeover, including a delivery van zone, faces city approval on July 15th — and the community is watching closely as Costco’s “people store” identity comes under fire.
