(JOHNSTON, IA) – Fareway Stores, Inc. is proud to announce the grand opening of its new Fareway Meat Market located at 7921 Ward Parkway, Kansas City, MO 64114, marking an exciting new chapter in the company's continued investment in the neighborhood. The opening follows a ribbon-cutting ceremony held Monday evening, where community leaders, neighborhood representatives, customers, and Fareway employees gathered to celebrate the completion of the new facility and the future of the area.
The new store replaces the existing Fareway Meat Market location at 79th Street and Ward Parkway. The facility succeeds the original Fareway Meat Market, which has served the Waldo neighborhood since Fareway acquired the historic McGonigle's Market in 2020.
The redevelopment features a new 11,660-square-foot Fareway Meat Market designed to provide an enhanced shopping experience while maintaining the personalized service customers have come to expect. Shoppers will enjoy expanded grocery offerings, including additional specialty items, fresh produce, an expanded deli counter, smoked meats, and a full-service butcher counter. The store also features a convenient walk-up window offering ready-to-order meals for customers seeking quality options on the go.
"This investment reflects our long-term commitment to Kansas City and in particular, area residents," Reynolds W. Cramer, Chief Executive Officer of Fareway Stores, Inc., said. "The new store and expanded offerings allow us to better serve our customers, support our employees, and create an experience that reflects the quality and service standards of Fareway."
The new development represents the first phase of a broader redevelopment plan for the property. The next phase will involve removing the old facility, leaving a commercial lot for future retail development. Throughout the planning and development process, Fareway collaborated closely with city officials and neighborhood stakeholders.
The new Fareway Meat Market location is open Monday through Saturday, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. To celebrate the new location, customers using shop.fareway.com can save $5 off their online order of $30 or more at the Kansas City location by using coupon code KCWARD at checkout.
