The shopping center is surrounded by various other attractions. The shopping center offers more than 110 retail and restaurant outlets, including Dave & Buster's and Fuddruckers. Popular department stores and anchors include Books-A-Million, JCPenney, Target, Sam's Club, Walmart, TJ Maxx, and Kohl's. The mall also once had a T-Rex Cafe owned by Landry's, which was opened in 2006 and closed on August 13, 2017, to be replaced by Michael Kors.[2]
The Legends at Village West include an audio walking tour of the more than 80 Kansans who are represented visually on medallions, posters, murals, and in sculptures throughout the center. The Legends honors the legends of Kansas in athletics, music, exploration, science, technology, politics, art, and other fields. The Legends theme is interwoven throughout the facility, offering information about Kansas’ history, heritage, and environment. Each corridor and courtyard of the center is dedicated to a particular category of famous Kansans or aspect of the state and its history, such as a replica of The Wizard of Oz's Yellow Brick Road. The mall and surrounding developments were highlighted in the Wall Street Journal by Kevin Helliker, who discussed the area's resurgence.[3]
The mall went into foreclosure in 2012. After being repurchased by original developer Dan Lowe, it was renamed Legends Outlets Kansas City.[4][5]
