Leawood is one of the most affluent addresses in the Kansas City metro, and in 2025 it picked up a headquarters. When First Busey Corporation acquired CrossFirst Bank that March, the holding company's headquarters moved to 11440 Tomahawk Creek Parkway — CrossFirst's longtime Leawood home. Park Place and Town Center Plaza anchor the dining and retail side. The country clubs and private venues handle the rest.
It's a market where the coffee is part of the impression, not an afterthought. A pump pot on a folding table reads as an afterthought. A barista pulling shots to order in front of your guests does not.
