If at first a burger joint doesn’t succeed, then it’s up to another to try again. Joyce Smith of The Kansas City Star is reporting that Smashburger will be taking over the space of the former B:2 A Burger Boutique (860-W N.W. Blue Pkwy.), the scaled-down less-expensive option from the Circle Restaurant Group.

The sister restaurant to Blanc Burgers + Bottles closed in January, which led to a firestorm of comments on Fat City earlier this year about whether Lee’s Summit was ready for the concept. According to Smith, the new Smashburger could open at the Summit Fair development as soon as mid-April.
