Plaza III To Close
I remember when Carl took Ed Hartwell there
![]() https://mobile.twitter.com/afgutierr...12541725413376 Live right by the plaza and hardly ever go. There's not much although I hear a Shake Shack is coming. |

Apparently at one time Plaza III was so big they branched out and opened a restaurant in Boston. I know a guy who waited tables there.

With all the great places to eat steak, and myself preferring to cook steak at home, I was surprised it lasted as long as it did after failing to expand. I think the writing was on the wall but new owners of the Plaza have debt service to deal with and probably bumped the rent, big time.

Craig Glazer wrote a piece about this in 2014 almost predicting P lll's demise. Shopping closer to home, dining closer and with alcohol enforcement... Lack of places that draw, It's becoming national brands from food to bars. There are no clubs, hot bars anymore. There is the eastern influx which tends to keep people away too. Crimes in Westport and Plaza areas do not exist in Leawood and OP. But basically his point has been that there just isn't a reason for the 20-40 somethings to go there anymore when the suburbs have built the complexes to compete with the Plaza and compete well. In closing he said the Plaza needs superstars to attract younger crowds and having a reason NOT to drive through Westwood to get home is reason enough to stay away.

Really good steak. Really overpriced.
Plaza is going through quite a phase right now. Business rent there must really suck...

Get it delivered and you still have to put it onto plates and such and heat again. All while the girlfriend is bitching and moaning if it's ready yet. Bitch, does it LOOK like it's ready? Shut up. Going to a joint like that is half the experience anyway. |

![]() more people here go to gas stations for a loaf of bread simply because it's closer, even though it is twice as expensive. ![]() |

![]() ![]() I have noticed that bread section in my huge grocer has been reduced, not so the last time I grabbed low carb tortillas at Wal-mart ($3.19 vs 4.29). I do get my craft beer delivered now. Just exchange the growler and it's $15 delivered. Free pizza delivery with beer too. Tipping not allowed on beer. Stupid local law. The only other thing I get delivered is Chinese and it will burn you it's so hot.

Plus Plaza rent has a % of volume clause so if your tight, you're screwed.
