Leawood, KS – On Friday, California‑originated athleisure retailer Alo celebrated its debut in Johnson County with the grand opening of a new storefront at Town Center Plaza, 4868 W. 119th St. The store occupies the former Sundance space, positioned near Gap and Athleta, and marks the brand’s first presence in the Leawood market.
Store Hours and Offerings
Alo will be open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., giving local shoppers ample time to explore its collections. The boutique carries a full range of athletic apparel for both women and men, including sweatshirts, leggings, jackets and shoes. In addition to clothing, Alo features a selection of accessories and wellness products such as hats, sunglasses, yoga mats and skincare items.
Expansion Into the Kansas City Metro
The Leawood location follows Alo’s earlier Kansas City metro debut at the Country Club Plaza in Missouri, which opened in May. That Kansas City store represented the brand’s first entry into the region, and the new Leawood shop expands its footprint within the broader metropolitan area. Outside of Kansas and Missouri, Alo operates stores and yoga studios in several states, including California, Maryland, North Carolina and Texas.
Local Impact
Leawood residents now have a nearby destination for high‑quality athleisure wear, reducing the need to travel to neighboring cities for similar offerings. The store’s presence is expected to generate new jobs and contribute to the vibrancy of Town Center Plaza, complementing existing retailers and enhancing the shopping experience for the community.
Community Reception
Early visitors praised the store’s modern layout and the breadth of its product lines. Shoppers highlighted the convenience of finding coordinated workout outfits and wellness accessories under one roof, noting that Alo’s emphasis on both style and performance aligns with the active lifestyles of many Leawood families.
Looking Ahead
Alo’s expansion into Johnson County reflects a broader trend of national brands seeking growth opportunities in thriving suburban markets. With its focus on quality, versatility and wellness, Alo aims to become a staple for Leawood’s health‑conscious consumers while supporting local economic development.
