| Midtown's Russell Stover's Candy Kitchen bids a bittersweet farewell |
The 51st Street location, just around the corner from the Russell Stover corporate offices, was the last Russell Stover shop left in Kansas City's urban core. The other stores are in suburban areas. That wasn't always the case, though: Kansas City once had several Russell Stover shops, with their distinctive blue glass facades, including the little shop at Linwood and Forest:

Sorry to hear about Russell Stover closing, however, as a UMKC alum, this location presents an intriguing spot for a new food place, perhaps a donut shop?
Is that what the blue glass storefront at Main and Westport-ish used to be? I've always assumed that was some attempt to make an old building look cool in the 80's...
You may be right, smh. There was a blog post about this over the summer and that is the assumption some people make in the comments.
This is (was) supposedly the original R.S. store in town.
