The Overland Park Planning Commission has approved development plans for a new Hy-Vee store at the Rosana Square shopping center. The location at 7418 W. 119th St. will occupy a storefront that has remained empty since Price Chopper closed its doors in January 2026.
Why it matters
This move signals a shift in the local retail footprint as a new operator takes over a large-format space previously occupied by a competitor. It reflects ongoing adjustments in grocery real estate as developers seek to repurpose vacant anchor tenant properties.
The proposed Hy-Vee store will occupy 66,000 square feet at Rosana Square, filling the site vacated by Price Chopper in January 2026. The approval allows Hy-Vee to proceed with structural modifications at the 7418 W. 119th St. location.
The players
Hy-Vee
An employee-owned grocery chain operating across the Midwest with a focus on full-service retail and pharmacy services.
Overland Park Planning Commission
The local regulatory body responsible for reviewing and approving land-use and development applications within the city.
Price Chopper
A grocery retail chain that previously served as the anchor tenant for the Rosana Square location.
The details
The development plan, approved on a consent agenda, includes significant structural updates to the existing building. Hy-Vee intends to install a pharmacy drive-thru and construct new loading docks to accommodate its operational requirements. Additionally, the property owner is pursuing a separate, broader exterior renovation plan for the entire shopping center to modernize the facility.
Timeline
January 2026: Price Chopper vacated the Rosana Square store location.
October 12, 2026: The Overland Park Planning Commission approved the final Hy-Vee development plan.
November 2026: The Planning Commission is scheduled to consider exterior renovation plans for Rosana Square.
Market Landscape
This development follows a pattern of grocery-store consolidation in Overland Park where new operators replace long-standing incumbents in premium retail hubs. The project marks a formal resolution to the vacancy left by Price Chopper in January 2026.
Operators in the area should monitor the forthcoming exterior renovations at Rosana Square for potential disruptions to site access and parking. Local businesses in the surrounding retail district may see altered traffic patterns once the new grocery anchor begins operations.
The takeaway
Large-format retail transitions often require substantial infrastructure investment to align old spaces with new operational models like pharmacy drive-thrus. Owners and operators should track local Planning Commission agendas to anticipate upcoming changes to neighboring site layouts.
What happens next
The Planning Commission will review the exterior renovation plans for the Rosana Square shopping center in November 2026.
