Last week, word broke that the Country Club Plaza may get new owners soon. We asked y’all what those new owners should change and, after 800+ newsletter and Instagram responses, here are your most recommended changes.

Emphasize local businesses

  • “A mix of local retailers and one of a kind shops.” — Reader, Pam T.
  • “Locally owned restaurants, stores, boutiques and specialty shops.” — @donnaluscoreed

Entice Zara + high end retailers

  • “Definitely Zara. Saks, Nordstrom Rack, a few high-end/luxury stores as well.”
    —@morgan.shawww

Focus on convenience with a grocery store

  • “Grocery store like the small Hen House in Prairie Village.” — Reader, Kat C.

Prioritize fun entertainment options

  • I’d love a playground that was based on the plaza’s art, architecture, and history.”
    — @siouxlandfamilies
  • “Something fun like a rooftop go-kart.” — @jp_rand
