Hyper Energy Bar Plans Three KC Metro Locations

Iowa-based Hyper Energy Bar has three metro locations in the works, all in Johnson County. The drive-thru concept

• Quick Energy: The drive-thru concept offers “hyper-infused” energy drinks, coffee, and snacks in an energetic atmosphere. Popular offerings include the Kinetic Coconut (Blue Rasberry + Coconut), Jet Fuel (Watermelon + Peach + Mango), and Pink Power (Strawberry + Watermelon + White Chocolate).

• JOCO Juice: Just this week, the Overland Park Planning Commission approved a location near Oak Park Mall at 95th and Nieman Road. The chain also has two other locations in the works: the corner of Nall Ave. and Indian Creek Parkway in Overland Park and 2250 W. Dartmouth St. in Olathe.

All three locations are expected to open by this summer. Read more on the upcoming locations from the Johnson County Post HERE.

Dave’s Hot Chicken will open its newest metro location on February 20th at 15139 W. 119th St. in Olathe.
