Summary
Olathe’s getting a massive new Dillons—100,000 sq ft, drive-thru pharmacy, 14 gas pumps—set to rise southwest of College Blvd and South Lone Elm Rd. The site, vacant since 1988, has been rezoned for business use, but developers are requesting special allowances for size, glass, and loading docks. City staff support the exceptions, citing broader neighborhood benefits. Plans first surfaced last fall; if approved, construction could begin soon with a 2027 opening. This could reshape the area, bringing jobs and a new retail anchor. Watch the city council’s vote—it could be a game-changer. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
