The City of Merriam has approved the redevelopment of a former Kmart building. The former Kmart site, located at 8703 Shawnee Mission Parkway, just east of Interstate 35, has sat vacant since the store closed in 2013. Plans for the $136 million mixed-use project include four restaurants, two apartment complexes, retail space and a parking garage. The developer was asking for $30 million in incentives to help subsidize the project. The existing Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers and Krispy Kreme in the northwest corner of the property will remain, as will the La Petite Academy in the southeast corner of the property.
