Metcalf South Shopping Center
Metcalf South Shopping Center

Metcalf South Shopping Center was a shopping mall in Overland Park, Kansas. It opened in 1967, near a large, unique department store called the French Market, which later became a strip mall anchored by Kmart and Hancock Fabrics (the Kmart closed in late 2013 and Hancock announced a move in early 2014). The Metcalf South mall itself originally featured two main floors of retail space, although later a third floor of retail space was added, which in recent years became home to office space. It featured two anchor stores (Sears and the Jones Store Company), later taken over by Macy's. Sears and the Glenwood Arts movie theater remained open in later years, while Macy's announced the closure of its Metcalf South store in January 2014.After more than a decade of decline that left Metcalf South a dead mall, the property was purchased in February 2014 by Lane4 Property Group and The Kroenke Group, and the owner of Lane4 stated it is likely the mall will be razed. On September 19, 2014, Metcalf South Mall closed. The movie theater closed on January 25, 2015. In 2015, Sears Holdings spun off 235 of its properties, including the Sears at Metcalf South Shopping Center, into Seritage Growth Properties.Demolition of the Metcalf South Mall (except for Sears) began on April 21, 2017. Sears started the Store Closing sale on June 30, 2017 and closed September 17, 2017. As of July 2019, a brand new Lowe's occupies the space that Glenwood Arts and Macy's held at Metcalf South Mall. The old Sears store, however, is still standing. A new ice cream parlor Andy's Frozen Custard opened in July of 2019. In 2020 construction on Longhorn Steakhouse began.
