Betty Rae’s to Open New Location in Johnson County

Local favorite and award-winning Betty Rae’s Ice Cream will open a new location at 6936 W. 135th St. in Overland Park.

• Sweets Down South: The sixth location will be the southernmost location in the metro, opening in the Shoppes of Deer Creek Woods. It joins the five other metro locations: Merriam (test kitchen), Prairie Village, Olathe, River Market, and Waldo. Betty Rae’s also has a mobile ice cream truck for events.

• Freezing Flavors: Betty Rae’s has built a huge local following for its 26 core house-made flavors. They also offer rotating flavors and local collaborations, such as McLain’s Cinnamon Roll and Joe’s KC BBQ & Burnt Ends. The core flavors have been available in select local grocery stores since late 2023.

The new location has an anticipated opening date in May.

Rob’s Reuben is Back for March at Q39
