The Q39 is expanding – again.
The competitive-style steakhouse will open its fourth location late next year in Lee’s Summit, its owners said in a statement.
Will be part Oldham Villagea future mixed-use development near Oldham Parkway, southwest of Missouri Route 291 and U.S. Highway 50. Much of the site was formerly Adesa, a car auction.
“(The Lee’s Summit) Q39 will have a full kitchen specifically designed to accommodate dine-in, a robust delivery business and large-scale catering,” the release states. “There are also plans for a large outdoor seating area.”
The news follows Q39 announcement in February that would open a Lawrence location at Press Yards, a redevelopment project on the site of the former Lawrence Journal-World printing plant. It is still on track to open later this year.
After participating in barbecue competitions for more than a decade, Rob Magee opened the first Q39 in 2014 in downtown Kansas City at 1000 W. 39th St., following it up with a Overland Park Location at 11051 Antioch Rd. Magee died of cancer in 2021. The restaurants are now owned by his wife, Kelly, with chef Philip Thompson as culinary leader.
