New Indie Concept Coming to Kansas City
Residents in the Kansas City, Mo., area are ready to queue up at the grand opening of Red Bridge Farm Fresh Market, set to open on Dec. 18. The store within the Red Bridge Shopping Center on the south side of town takes the place of a Sun Fresh supermarket that closed in January 2023.
Located at 11212 Holmes Road and spanning 35,000 square feet, the site underwent major renovations including a remodeled storefront, infrastructure upgrades and improved parking. More than $6.5 million was invested in the project.

The new Red Bridge Farm Fresh Market is operated by a group that owns other stores in the market, including El Mercado Fresco and World Fresh Market, which opened earlier this year in a former Walmart space. Among other assortments, this location offers a variety of groceries and essentials and features a fresh bakery, butcher counter, deli, pizza shop, prepared foods area and counter for fruit-flavored drinks.
“We know our neighbors and community members have been eagerly awaiting the opening, and we’re thrilled to announce a date we feel confident about,” said manager Moe Muslet. “Through unforeseen construction delays, we are grateful for everyone’s support and patience in delivering a grocery store the neighborhood can be proud of.”
Brandon Buckley, partner at the company that owns the shopping center, LANE4, said that the store elevates the local grocery shopping experience. “Between the landlord and tenant, we have renovated almost every inch of this store, inside and out, and wanted to make sure it was done right. That included quite a bit of infrastructure that we didn’t originally anticipate replacing,” he remarked. “Red Bridge Farm Fresh’s remodel is the direct response of the needs expressed by the Red Bridge neighborhood.”
The Dec. 18 grand opening will include giveaways, special savings and family activities, kicked off with a ribbon cutting at 2:30 p.m. local time.
