Legends Applebee’s to reopen Thursday afternoon after remodeling

The Legends Applebee’s restaurant, 1700 Village West Parkway, is scheduled to reopen at 4 p.m. Thursday, May 2, after remodeling.

According to a spokesman, the restaurant has been closed since Sunday night for renovations.

The renovations will have new design features and a mural that will depict the Kansas City, Kansas, neighborhood, according to the spokesman.

There will be new wall art focusing on the local community, as well as a new mural in the works. An artist from the InterUrban ArtHouse is designing the mural, which will be unveiled at a later date, probably in early summer, according to the spokesman.

Local contractor GC Strategies is painting the interior, redoing ceilings, flooring and light fixtures at tables.

The restaurant also will have new chairs, tabletops, barstools, and reupholstered booths. The exterior also will be repainted.

To celebrate the renovations, Applebee’s will offer $1 draft beers on all domestic and craft selections beginning at 4 p.m. May 2 and lasting for seven days, through May 9. The restaurant also will offer $1 margaritas during May, and all-you-can-eat boneless buffalo wings for $11.99 each day for a limited time.

According to the spokesman, Applebee’s also is renovating some of its other restaurants in the Kansas City area.
