Bluhawk announces eight new stores in Overland Park, including L.L.Bean
Bluhawk has announced eight new stores for its Overland Park development, including an L.L.Bean described in a July 22, 2026, report as the Kansas City area’s only location for the retailer.
The announcement establishes eight stores as the latest reported additions at Bluhawk. It also signals that more retail and restaurant tenants are expected, though those future businesses have not been identified in the available report.
L.L.Bean is the identified tenant
L.L.Bean is the only business named in the available reporting on the eight-store addition. KCTV5 characterized the location as the region’s only L.L.Bean, a description that should be understood as the outlet’s reported regional status rather than a detail independently documented in the available source packet.
The report does not say what format the L.L.Bean store will use. It also does not provide an opening date for that location or for the other newly announced stores.
Bluhawk did not release the full list of the eight businesses in the reporting available for this story. As a result, the announcement confirms the total number of additions but does not establish the identities, opening schedules or operating status of the remaining seven stores.
More tenants are expected
In addition to the eight-store announcement, Bluhawk said more retailers and restaurants will be added in the future. Those are expected additions, not a list of confirmed openings in the available report.
No number was provided for the future retailers and restaurants, and no timetable for those additions was reported. The development also did not provide projected employment figures or investment totals in the source material available for this report.
That means the announcement should not be read as a confirmed estimate of jobs, construction spending or other economic effects. The verified development is the addition of eight stores and the stated expectation of further retail and restaurant announcements.
What comes next
For Overland Park shoppers, the named L.L.Bean is the clearest detail in the announcement. For other prospective customers and businesses following the development, key details remain pending: the full tenant roster, store formats, opening dates and the schedule for future restaurants and retailers.
Bluhawk’s next known step is to add more retailers and restaurants, according to its statement. Until the development releases further information, the eight-store total is the defined scope of the reported expansion, while the additional tenant plans remain future-facing.
