KANSAS CITY, KS-A giant step has been taken toward creating what city officials have been touting as a “tourism district” near the Kansas Speedway, which is scheduled to open this summer. It has been announced by the master developer, the Zimmer Cos., that Nebraska Furniture Mart will serve as the anchor of a proposed $236-million retail development. The district will encompass more than 400 acres north and east of the speedway.

Nebraska Furniture Mart is based in Omaha, NE and is the nation’s largest volume home furnishings retailer. Its Omaha store is 588,000 sf and sits on 77 acres.

Two other tenants, another from Nebraska and one from Kansas, have also been named. Cabela’s Inc. is a sporting goods store based in Sidney, NE. Warren Theatres, based in Wichita, KS, is known for building upscale theatres with luxury services. It will build a 12-screen complex at the site. The indoor theatre will be the first for Kansas City, KS since a discount movie house closed four years ago.
