Shawnee is Johnson County's third-largest city — around 65,000 people — and it quietly keeps two headquarters inside its limits. Nazdar has been making printing inks and equipment out of Shawnee for decades. SKC Communications, founded in 1986, builds communication and audiovisual systems for corporations, government agencies, and universities nationwide from here.
The business corridor runs along Shawnee Mission Parkway and out to K-7. Downtown Shawnee has spent the last few years rebuilding itself into somewhere people actually go, with Shawnee Town 1929 anchoring the historic side. And Shawnee Mission Park is the largest park in Johnson County — a real venue, not just green space.
We're across Johnson County constantly. Shawnee is a short drive from everywhere we already are, which means we're not charging you for distance and we're not learning your city on the morning of your event.
