Yes, the Snak Shack is going to reopen, with a new owner

• Downtown Overland Park Partnership
• There’s still an organic, sustainable snack shop in downtown Overland Park

Fat City finally has an answer for the readers who have been bombarding me with the same question for the last couple of weeks, including today’s e-mail from Chris Whitmore: “What’s going on with the Snak Shack in downtown Overland Park? It’s been closed for a month now. Do you know if it will be reopening?”

Yes, as it turns out. According to Robin Fish, the executive director of the Downtown Overland Park Partnership Inc., the organic burger shop at 8039 Santa Fe Drive has a new tenant, Rayna Andrew, who plans to reopen the restaurant next week. “We had hoped to be open on Monday,” says Andrews, who will operate the Snak Shack with her husband, Matt Tolle. “But it looks like we’ll do a soft opening on Tuesday and be officially open for business on Wednesday.”
