Independence Center

Independence Center in Independence, Missouri, Harry S. Truman’s hometown on the eastern edge of the Kansas City metropolitan area at I-70 and Noland Road, serves the Independence, Blue Springs, Lee’s Summit, and eastern Jackson County household as a regional retail destination whose Macy’s and JCPenney department store anchors give the property the comparison-shopping depth the eastern Kansas City consumer accesses for the department store occasion without driving to the Country Club Plaza or the Zona Rosa commercial nodes on the northwest side of the metro. Dick’s Sporting Goods and House of Hoops, the premium Nike basketball retail format, serve the sporting goods and athletic footwear floor. Carhartt serves the work apparel and heritage fashion category for the eastern Jackson County household whose manufacturing, construction, and logistics employment base gives the brand consistent purchasing depth.

Topsy’s Popcorn, the Kansas City-founded specialty popcorn and confectionery brand established in 1950 whose Cheddar, Caramel, and blended tin popcorn the Kansas City metro consumer associates with holiday gifting and family occasion purchases, gives Independence Center a Kansas City-identity specialty food floor. American Eagle, Buckle, H&M, Hot Topic, Journeys, PacSun, Rue21, and Victoria’s Secret cover the accessible fashion floor. Earthbound Trading Co. serves the eclectic lifestyle and accessories category. Foot Locker, Finish Line, and Zumiez serve the athletic footwear floor.
