Romanelli Shopping Center joined the Kansas City landscape in 1925. The center, designed by J.C. Nichols Company, sits at the southwest corner of Wornall Road and 71st Street. Its original retailers included a grocery store, pharmacy, cleaner and barber shop.
Today, the center is boasting with tenants that attract patrons from all over the city, making the center a one-stop shop. Tenants include a dentist, eye doctor, financial advisor, home remodel design firm, hair salon, ice cream parlor, children’s luxury consignment shop, neighborhood pizzeria, healthy restaurant / market, and more.
The Center’s newest tenant additions include Sharing Sunshine; a children’s consignment boutique, Hemma Hemma; a fresh healthy restaurant and market concept, and Pizza Tascio; a small neighborhood New York style pizzeria.
Sharing Sunshine opened their doors at Romanelli in April of 2023. The concept was created by two busy moms, who love children’s clothing, but appreciate a good deal and convenience of online shopping.
Hemma Hemma will open its first storefront at Romanelli Shopping Center later this summer. Their first restaurant and marketplace will be an expansion of their current fresh meal delivery service. The focus is on creating delicious, nourishing dishes that feel homemade. The restaurant at Romanelli will have a modern-meets-home aesthetic space including a main dining room, teaching kitchen, coffee bar, marketplace with grab-and-go meals, outdoor seating and a basement room for private events and dinner.
The center also recently announced that it will soon become home to Pizza Tascio’s sixth location in the Kansas City. The owner, Erik Borger, was looking for a spot that he thought would be a good next step when Romanelli’s former Classic Cookie closed its doors. Waldo provides a good neighborhood feel, which fits the mold of the restaurant – a small neighborhood pizzeria. Tascio’s menu offers 13 different pizzas that feature either New York-style or a thicker pan-pizza crust.
