Fairway Stroud’s location on Shawnee Mission Parkway closes after a decade in business

Fried chicken lovers have one less spot to fill up in northeast Johnson County.

Stroud’s shuttered its location on Shawnee Mission Parkway in Fairway on Monday, bringing and end to a more-than-10-year run for the eatery.

A message posted on the restaurant’s door says that the location has closed “to make way for new development.” Information released by KC Hopps, Ltd., the majority owner of the restaurant, indicated that the company had signed a short-term lease for the property, but that “the current state of the building, space and parking lot are simply not to Stroud’s standards.”
