Plan for new ‘top drawer’ restaurant at Town Center Plaza prompts pushback from Hereford House

A 12,681-square-foot, free-standing restaurant is being proposed to go in on the north side of Town Center Plaza, east of Nall Avenue and just south of 117th Street, in what is currently a parking area. The plan drew vehement opposition from the owners of the Hereford House franchise in a neighboring lot, who say the development will take away some of their parking.

A battle over parking flared up during the Leawood Planning Commission meeting Tuesday as the commission discussed approving the final plan for a new freestanding restaurant in the north parking lot of Town Center Plaza.

The proposed 12,681-square-foot, one-story building is proposed to go in on the north side of the shopping center, east of Nall Avenue and just south of 117th Street in what is currently a parking area.
