Wyandotte County has a new Starbucks.
As many of you are aware, there are already two Starbucks here. One is located inside Target in the Legends area, and the other is at the Price Chopper, 78th and State Avenue in Kansas City, Kan. This is the third Starbucks in Wyandotte County.
This Starbucks at 10620 Parallel Parkway is corporate-owned. It is in the same building as the AT&T store. To the west is Jack in the Box, and across 106th to the east is Wendy’s.
The new location has 75 percent greater traffic than they anticipated,
“We mainly do a lot of drive-through business,” said Scott Shaw, store manager. Scott grew up in Wyandotte County; he went to Sumner Academy, then he moved to Portland, Ore.
Because of family reasons he decided to move back home to Wyandotte County.
“I really love it here, this is home, this is why I decided to come back, and also I have family here as well,” Shaw said.
If you want to go to a place to simply relax, this is the place. The hours are 5 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 5 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday, 5:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. Saturday, and 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday. Starbucks is located at 10620 Parallel Parkway, or you can call 913-328-1078.
