A Fareway Meat & Grocery store is coming to Basehor, Kansas, offering fresh food options to local shoppers and those in the Kansas City metro area. The store will sit at the northeast corner of 158th Street and State Avenue (US 24/40), just 20 miles west of downtown Kansas City. With its location along a major highway, the new store will provide an accessible shopping option for residents in Leavenworth, Wyandotte, and Johnson counties.
What Will Fareway Offer?
Fareway is known for high-quality meats, fresh produce, and customer service. The Basehor store will feature:
- A full-service meat counter with locally sourced cuts.
- A fresh bakery and expanded grocery selections.
- A simple, efficient layout for quick shopping.
As part of its Midwest expansion, Fareway continues to open new locations in high-growth areas, and Basehor fits that trend.
How the Site Has Changed Over Time
In 1948, historical aerial images show the land as farmland with a dirt road leading to the intersection. Over the years, new developments transformed the area. Today, the lot remains undeveloped, but the upcoming Fareway store will soon change that.
Why Basehor? Kansas City Proximity is Key
Basehor’s population growth and proximity to Kansas City make it a prime location for new retail. The store will be just 10 minutes from the western edge of the Kansas City metro area, giving residents in Bonner Springs, Lenexa, and even Lawrence another grocery option. The US 24/40 highway provides direct access, making Fareway a convenient stop for commuters and nearby communities.
What’s Next?
As of March 2025, construction has not started, but site planning and permits are in progress. The City of Basehor expects groundbreaking to begin in spring 2025. Once completed, the store will provide a fresh, locally focused grocery alternative for Basehor and the greater Kansas City area.
