Live Poll

Does the addition of new grocery chains to your area improve your access to shopping?

The Overland Park Planning Commission has approved development plans for a new Hy-Vee grocery store at Rosana Square. The proposed site at 7418 W. 119th St. will occupy a space previously vacated by Price Chopper.

Why it matters

The approval fills a significant retail vacancy at the Rosana Square shopping center, marking a new phase for the site following the departure of the previous tenant in January 2026.

The proposed store will span 66,000 square feet, taking over the facility left behind by Price Chopper in early 2026. The plans include specific structural upgrades such as a new pharmacy drive-thru and dedicated loading docks.

The players

Hy-Vee

Hy-Vee is a major employee-owned supermarket chain that operates numerous grocery stores throughout the Midwest.

Overland Park Planning Commission

The Overland Park Planning Commission is the local municipal body responsible for reviewing and approving land development and zoning applications in the city.

Price Chopper

Price Chopper is a regional grocery store chain that previously occupied the Rosana Square space.

The details

The commission approved the project via a consent agenda, allowing Hy-Vee to proceed with structural modifications at the 7418 W. 119th St. location. Additionally, the owner of Rosana Square has submitted separate plans to renovate the exterior of the entire shopping center.

January 2026: Price Chopper vacated the Rosana Square space.
October 12, 2026: The Overland Park Planning Commission approved the final development plan.
November 2026: The commission is scheduled to consider exterior renovation plans for the shopping center.

Market Landscape

This development reflects the broader trend of grocery chains aggressively repositioning within suburban retail hubs to capture high-traffic square footage. By revitalizing a long-vacant anchor space, the project positions the company to better compete for market share in a corridor currently served by several other competitors.

Shoppers in the area can expect a return of grocery services to the Rosana Square shopping center following the upcoming store construction. The project aims to provide modernized facilities, including a new pharmacy drive-thru to improve customer convenience.

The takeaway

The transformation of the Rosana Square space demonstrates how municipalities and retailers work together to fill vacant anchor spots in mature shopping centers. Residents should look for further exterior updates to the plaza to follow in the coming month.
