BONNER SPRINGS, KS-Big plans are in the works for the land surrounding the Kansas Speedway. The 400-acre parcel has been deemed an entertainment district and should accommodate more than 4.5 million sf of development.

Bill Crandall, vice president with the Zimmer Cos., which was chosen as the master developer this past summer, is currently working on attracting a major sporting goods chain to be one of the first tenants. Included in the discussions are Bass Pro Shops, based in Springfield, MO; Cabela’s Inc., based in Sidney, NE; and Dick’s Sporting Goods, based in Pittsburgh. Neither Bass Pro Shops nor Cabela’s have a location yet in the metropolitan market. Dick’s Sporting Goods recently opened five-area locations.

“We are openly discussing the possibilities of development and showing the incentives and demographics of the area to a number of possible tenants,” says Doug Bach, project manager for the Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, KS. “But we have yet to take a proposal to the commission.”
