Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and if you’re eager to get out of the house for some quality time with your sweetheart, we’re here to help! From dinner and dessert to entertainment and relaxation (without breaking the bank) – here’s our guide for your special date night at Legends Outlets.

1: Play Games & Have Fun  

You put pants on and made it out of the house, YAY! Now it’s time to loosen up and we know just the place: Dave & Buster’s (because grown-ups can play games, too). Have some laughs over a few friendly competitions of vintage Pac-Man, Skee-Ball, Pop-A-Shot, and more. And, if you play enough to work up an appetite, hit the bar for some pre-dinner cocktails and appetizers!

2: Stroll the Center

If games aren’t your thing, how about a little fresh air? A stroll around Legends Outlets is always a great idea! Stop for a precious photo opportunity at the Civic Courtyard Fountain, take in all the murals and statues representing famous Kansans throughout the center, or pop into a few stores like the new Puma and Tory Burch outlets for a little bit of shopping.

3: Choose a Spot for Dinner

What are you craving this Valentine’s Day? We have restaurants that specialize in everything from Sushi to Cajun Cuisine to Tex-Mex and beyond! And when it comes to date night, you can’t go wrong with Granite City Food & Brewery or Yard House. Both restaurants feature a wide selection of beer (Granite City brews theirs in-house) and wine, along with diverse menus that even the pickiest of eaters will appreciate. We call that a win-win!

4: Go See a Movie

Want to know the ultimate win for Valentine’s Day? A private movie screening at AMC Theaters! Sure to sweep that someone special right off their feet, AMC’s private theater rental starts at $99 and includes your choice of movie from their available selection. And if you’re short on time for date night, AMC also offers a dine-in experience. Just place your order at the counter, and they’ll deliver it right to your seat – it’s the perfect way to experience dinner and a movie!

5: Treat Yourself (or your date) to Dessert

Before the night comes to an end, there’s one last thing you have to do: GET DESSERT. From festive sweet treats at Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory and DEMDACO to frozen yogurt at Yogurtini or ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery, there are plenty of ways to satisfy your sweet tooth before calling it a night!

BONUS:

If you’re tempted to turn your date night into an overnighter, consider grabbing a room at one of the many surrounding area hotels, like Residence Inn by Marriott! Within walking distance to all the shops and restaurants at Legends Outlets, this affordable hotel is one of our favorites because it features a pool. Oh, and did we mention breakfast is included!?

Not ready to get out of the house quite yet?  Let us help you plan the perfect date night at home! Get great tips and ideas at our Date Night at Home blog post!

Date night at home, featuring everything you need from Legends Outlets!

What your plans for Valentine’s Day? Date night at home? Netflix and chill? Cocktails and charcuteries? If you answered “yes” to any of the above, you came to the right place! We scoured the center to find the best date-night in essentials for your epic night at home. And, what we found is sure to turn any Valentine’s evening at home into an unforgettable one. Here’s our guide:

1: Heart Platter

The picture-perfect charcuterie board doesn’t exi…..

Level up your date-night (or girls-night) snacks with Demdaco’s Heartful Home Platter. Keep it classic with chips and dip or a cheese and fruit spread or go all out with a dessert creation featuring your favorite candies and treats. The possibilities are endless!

2: Drink Mixer

A refreshing cocktail without leaving the house = the lime on top of the perfect date night. Shop this Moscow Mule drink mix + other flavors at DEMDACO. Just add your favorite spirit and cheers away!

3: Matching Set for Him

Netflix and Chill in style while staying comfy on the couch with a matching lounge set from the new Puma Factory Store!

4: Scented Candle

Set the mood just right with the Love seasonal candle from Bath & Body Works. While your passion burns for each other, the perfect combination of rose petals paired with rain-kissed ivy and spring musk will burn too, elevating the mood.

5: Matching Set for Her 

Not only is red the perfect color for Valentine’s Day, but this super cute set from Hollister is so incredible soft! If you plan to be posted up on the couch with your boo, consider this the perfect outfit!

6: Sweets for your Sweetie  

Is it really Valentine’s Day if chocolate isn’t involved? Nope – it’s not! Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory has you covered on sugar, chocolate and all things sweet with their chocolate covered strawberries, hot chocolate heart bombs and their NEW Breakable Heart filled with your choice of chocolate covered strawberries or chocolate treats!

7: Cocktail Book

You know what they say, the way to a person’s heart is through their stomach! Grab your matching aprons and channel your inner chef with a cookbook or a cocktail book like this one from BAM! Books-A-Million, featuring spicy ideas, sweet treats and everything in between.

8: Coffee Mug & Caramel Spoon

The simplest gestures can be sweet surprises on Valentine’s Day, like bringing your love a cup of coffee in the morning!  HomeGoods has adorable options for the occasion, and our eyes are set on this Rae Dunn mug! Top it off with a Salted Caramel Spoon from HomeGoods or T.J. Maxx (if you’re lucky enough to snag a package before they sell out)!

9: Matte Lipstick

Just because you’re in sweats doesn’t mean you can’t wear lipstick! The new Sephora store carries hundreds of brands, so you’ll be able to find the perfect shade to spice up your date-night-in look! Our recommendation:  Lip Souffle Matte Cream Lipstick from the new Selena Gomez line, Rare Beauty – it’ll keep your lips hydrated while the color stays put. 💋

With the state of Kansas on the path to recovery, Legends Outlets is working on plans to safely reopen the shopping center. The health and safety of its retailers, guests and employees remains to be the top priority, and the center will implement many new social distancing and community safety measures recommended by the Wyandotte County Health Department.

During the mandatory stay at home order, Legends Outlets remained focused on deep sanitization throughout the center. They introduced a hospital-grade touchless sanitation machine to increase cleanliness and productivity to common areas, restrooms and corridors. They also used this time to make updates and improvements around the center, such as:

• Sandblasting and repainting benches, stairwells, poles, and railings
• Power washing all trellises and awnings
• Enhancing landscaping
• Installing new LED lights in the parking garage
• Repairing concrete around the center

As expected, the shopping experience will be a bit different for guests the next time they visit. As Legends Outlets prepares to reopen the center to meet the needs of the community, they are taking the following steps to place health and safety above all else:

• Working with the security team to control access and flow of traffic through the center and to pinpoint high areas of concentration throughout the center and parking lots

• Encouraging social distancing throughout the center; using signage and decals to help customers practice social distancing

• Requiring retailers and restaurants to reconfigure their spaces to accommodate the 6-foot social distancing recommendations

• Restructuring common areas to safely provide comfort and enjoyment with proper social distancing

• Installing no-touch step and pulls on all restroom doors

• Closing levels two and three of the parking garages; closing the escalators and elevators

• Turning off drinking fountains

• Installing hand sanitizer stations throughout the center to ensure employees and guests have access as needed

• Providing masks and gloves for employees

• Offering free onsite temperature checks, disposable masks and sanitizer wipes for guests upon request

The center has also implemented an aggressive disinfecting regimen on top of its already rigorous cleaning schedule. Housekeeping and security partners have added additional hours and equipment for cleaning and sanitizing throughout the day as well as after-hours, with a focus on high-touch points and high-traffic surfaces.

Several stores at Legends Outlets will be re-opening as early as May 18. Some retailers will be operating under alternate hours or may be opening at a later date, and others are working on plans that will allow shoppers to place their order over the phone and pick up in-store. Legends Outlets will continue to update its website with details as those plans become finalized. Essential businesses including restaurants remain open for curbside pickup, carryout and delivery services only. Please click here, or contact individual restaurants for more information.

Dear Shoppers,

The health and safety of our consumers, employees and merchants is our top priority right now. Just like you, we are closely monitoring the latest developments related to COVID-19 (coronavirus) and taking preventative actions to ensure the well-being of everyone at our center. While there are still many unknowns, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) and World Health Organization (WHO) have issued guidance for best practices related to the spread of both COVID-19 and other respiratory illnesses.

In accordance with these guidelines, and in close partnership with our facility, housekeeping and security partners, we have implemented an aggressive disinfecting regimen on top of our already rigorous cleaning schedule. Extra team members are working around the clock to ensure our consumers’ safety by cleaning and sanitizing highly trafficked locations at increased frequencies, including but not limited to:

• Door handles/knobs
• Seating areas
• Trash cans
• Restrooms
• Drinking fountains
• Mall office / guest services

In addition, our team is following the safety precautions recommended by the CDC and WHO, and we encourage you to do the same. Here are some basic steps that you can take to protect yourself and keep others safe:

• Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands
• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze
• Stay home if you are sick
• Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces daily

Modified Operating Hours and Closures

Due to the increase of social distancing directives of the CDC, several stores have modified their operating hours or are temporarily closed. We encourage you to call individual stores or check their website for the latest information on hours, and to find out what steps they are taking to ensure a safe and healthy environment inside their store. A full list of stores and contact information can be found HERE.

We will continue to monitor all communication from the CDC, WHO, State Department of Health, and other governmental agencies, and we will provide any additional updates as they become available.

Thank you,

College students are packing up and heading for school sooner than anyone else! Between tuition and books, clothes and rent, it’s definitely the time to share some budget-friendly bonding with your biggest kid. Take a daytrip to Legends to look for these must-have items for any collegiate heading to school!

MODERN DORM DECOR

Make your residence hall feel like home with unique, hand-picked decor, organization, and necessities. We found all that and more at Home Goods! From novelty to super-chic, the options are endless and were surprised at the variety of styles (say bye-bye to boring towels)! Here are our absolute must-haves for feathering your college nest: a super plushy, warm and fuzzy throw for lounging like this one from Calvin Kelin; sleek organizational totes to keep your stuff where it belongs like these cool watercolor ones; a mid-century task lamp for late night study sessions and bedside reading without keeping your roommate up; a to-do list organizer you won’t hate to look at like this modern frameless marble finish dry erase board; cheery towels in your favorite color like this navy windowpane set by Mind on Design; and last but not least, something cheeky and green to brighten up your space, like a fun little faux cactus in a brightly colored pot! 

BET ON A BLAZER

Listen, it’s time to get yourself a grown-up blazer. Whether you’re thinking of internships or part-time job interviews or even real grown-up jobs or post-grad school interviews, the time to invest in a staple of your adult wardrobe is now. And nothing says grown man/woman style like Banana Republic. We love this light-weight blended navy blue two-button blazer from the mens’ section because it will work with denim for a more business casual vibe, or super sharp with a pair of chinos for a preppy look. While you’re at it, consider getting matching navy suit pants for a head-to-toe dressed-for-success look! 

In the women’s section, we fell for this sleek, light grey fitted blazer. Pair it with black denim and a graphic tee for a trendy casual look or layer it over a business casual dress for a put-together outfit. Don’t forget matching slim-cut pants to complete the full suited look, which you can totally customize to your style with fun shirts and accessories. Since you’re shopping at the BR Outlet, go ahead and get yourself the matching pencil skirt too for a full workweek capsule wardrobe!

COLLEGE SURVIVAL GEAR

In a lot of ways, college is like camping. We found SO many handy life hacks for college kids at Eddie Bauer. For most people, space is limited, so pack smart with handy stuff like these packing pouches and compression bags. A phone wrist wallet works great for exercising on campus or just making the long trek to class. To stay hydrated, pack your favorite water bottle with you wherever you go. We like this white one but there are tons of designs and colors ready to go with you! And last but not least, we are also loving double-duty items like this cool 7-in-1 multi-tool and wallet combo! Be sure to check out their huge display in the center of the store to see more camping and college essentials like coolers, backpacks, lights and mounts for your bike, and even canteens and flasks!

GROWN-UP GEAR

Don’t forget about class! You’ll be hauling your books, notepads, computers and more to and from class every single day so you might as well look good doing it! 

From Wilson’s we love this versatile convertible canvas bag with genuine leather flaps, straps and details. It functions both as a messenger style bag and as a backpack with thick, supportive straps. For students with international desires, do not scrimp on your RFID protected passport protector; we love this sleek brown leather one from Wilson’s that matches the leather detailing on the backpack perfectly. 

If femme is more your style, march right into Kate Spade now because their backpacks come in every size and all the hottest colors for fall. We loved this mid-sized backpack because it can hold a 13” laptop while still looking sleek and chic! Speaking of chic, Kate Spade Outlet’s signature fall floral is this beautiful floral print with mauve, berry and turquoise watercolor details that we can’t get enough of. This laptop sleeve is a must-have for sliding that expensive electronic in and out of your bag every day!

BONUS TIP

While you’re at Legends you’re just seconds away from great school shopping spots like T.J. Maxx, Target, and Sam’s Club so make the most of the fun location and get your gear fast and for less!

What do you get a great dude like dad? The sky is the limit, obviously, when you’re trying to show an important guy in your life your appreciation for all the time, support, and tough love he’s shown you or your kiddos over the years! We took a trip to do some shopping for our favorite father figures. Take a look at our top five gift ideas for Father’s Day this year!

TREAT HIM TO SOMETHING SAVORY

What do you get the guy who has everything? One word: consumables. And the hottest food-themed gift these days is created with your favorite carnivore in mind. We love the build-your-own-box of jerkies at Beef Jerky Outlet! From grass-fed beef to wild game, with every spice and flavor known to man, this huge meat shop is the perfect stop to make and has other fun stuff as well like novelty shirts and free samples!

HELP HIM SHOW OFF HIS SMARTS BEYOND BOOKS

We can’t skip Books-A-Million when we have a gift-giving opportunity! And this time around, they did not disappoint. They make it easy with great selections of books, bibles and gift items for men of faith; maps, atlases, guidebooks and survival kits for the outdoor dad; as well as hilarious “dad joke” books, novelty items and gag gifts for the goofy dad. Don’t forget BAM’s enormous selection of best-selling titles, including the nonfiction, history and literature your dad will love to read.

GET HIM IN TOUCH WITH HIS VACATION VIBES

Whether you’re taking a big trip with dad this summer or not, check out the surprisingly laid-back looks at Brooks Brothers Factory Store! We are loving the tropical print button downs, beach bags, and everything with pineapples on it!

HELP HIM BE FASHION FORWARD

If you’re looking to treat dad, consider investing in a sleek designer item from one of Legends Outlets’ luxe brands like the Coach Outlet. You can make a big impression on him without breaking the bank with Coach’s handsome line of travel accessories that fit inside your budget and inside a gift bag! We are loving their luxurious assortment of leather valet trays and travel accessories. Our favorite is the large zipper pouch that comes in a ton of manly prints and would work great inside his gym bag or suitcase!

TAKE HIM ON A DAD-DATE

Never underestimate the thoughtfulness of giving someone you love the gift of your time together. Bonus points if it includes food and drinks! Our favorite spots to eat, drink and be merry with dad this summer include Granite City for their high-end food and stellar brewery, Arthur Bryant’s Barbeque for their quintessential KC BBQ experience, Stix for their pan-Asian teppanyaki grill, sushi and Chinese cuisine, and Yard House for their patio seating and self-proclaimed world’s largest selection of draft beer. Surprise dad with a day or night out or let him pick the place. Either way, you’re both sure to have a blast!

Whatever you decide to do for dad, do it with style when you pick a thoughtful gift or gesture!

Local luxury is coming to Kansas City’s premier outdoor shopping destination. Legends Outlets is thrilled to announced that BALDWIN, the modern American fashion brand, will open its very first outlet concept at the Kansas City, Kansas, shopping center mid-June.

The new, 2,000-square-foot BALDWIN outlet store will feature a clean, modern design aesthetic and house an extensive collection of the men’s and women’s heritage goods.

Graduation season is here in full force, and it’s such a fun reason to give gifts. Let the excitement, the inspiration, the celebration, and the hope for the future inspire your gift-giving this spring and head to Legends Outlets for great ideas for your grad that fit your budget.

Here are some of our favorite ideas …

GIFTS FOR ANY ADVENTURE

For fun, unique, and affordable gifts for any grad, stop by Francesca’s. We loved the world map to-go coffee mugs and fun celebratory champagne flutes for more grown-up grads. They also have a great variety of travel and adventure-inspired jewelry sets, like matching compass rose earrings and necklaces, mountains on gold chains, and lots of other fun gems that come on beautiful display cards with inspirational messages.

GIFTS TO COMMEMORATE THE BIG DAY

For a truly special graduation gift, head to one of the only area jewelry outlets at Legends Outlets, like Kay, Helzberg or Zales. Each has a wide assortment of beautiful jewelry and watches perfect for any graduate. We stopped in at Kays and found this on-trend, gorgeous gold bar necklace and this ultra sleek Citizen watch. Consider engraving either with your graduate’s initials, their graduation date, or something more creative like the GPS coordinates of their home if they’re getting ready to move away!

GIFTS TO INVEST IN FOR THEIR FUTURE

If your grad is ready to ditch the backpack, you can’t go wrong with a tote or briefcase. Wilson’s Leather is our favorite place to shop for investment pieces like this because they have a huge variety of shapes, sizes and colors at steep discounts. Our favorites include this day-to-night tote in a versatile taupe shade and this transit briefcase in a deep brown shade–both of which feature super soft, high quality leather.

GIFTS TO INSPIRE THEIR JOURNEY

If you’re looking for something sentimental, make sure to check out Books-A-Million for their large assortment of journals. From whimsical to sophisticated, they have tons of lovely options. Consider picking up one that reminds of your grad, then jot a message to them inside the cover! While you’re at BAM, check out other gift ideas like spiritual books, cookbooks, post-grad test prep materials and supplies, and even fun dorm room decor!

GIFTS FOR THE GOING-SOMEWHERE GRAD

Whether your grad is moving away to college or moving up in the workforce, never underestimate the power of a gift card! Legends Outlets gift cards can be purchased in any denomination and used at any of the more-than 100 retailers, restaurants, and entertainment venues at the mall. Consider sticking one in a cool water bottle from Under Armour, a cute wallet from Charming Charlie, or even inside the case of a pair of sunglasses from Sunglass Hut for a fun “The Future’s So Bright” message!

On Friday, May 3, Applebee’s Speedway location reopened with a fresh new look and feel centered around the neighborhood and contemporary dining experiences. The renovated Applbee’s location includes new design features and a custom mural focused on the Kansas City, Kansas neighborhood.

This remodel is Applebee’s first big step in rekindling the local feel of the Applebee’s brand, kicking off in the city that the first Applebee’s franchise was born. Much of the wall décor focuses on the local area, including a large hand-painted mural representing the Kansas City, Kansas community. Applebee’s is teaming up with the local arts organization InterUrban ArtHouse to bring the mural to life, featuring talented local artists. The mural is set to be installed and unveiled to the community after the Applebee’s Speedway’s renovations are complete, by early summer.

To give Applebee’s a fresh new look and feel all around, local contractor GCStrategies gave the interior new paint, ceilings, dining room flooring and light fixtures over tables. Additionally, the restaurant introduced new chairs, barstools and tabletops, as well as reupholstered booths. On the exterior, Applebee’s received a fresh facelift and debuted a more modernized appearance with new paint around the entire building.

Guests can take advantage of $1 draft beers for the first seven days that Applebee’s is reopen, May 2-9. Draft beers include all domestic and craft selections, such as Boulevard Wheat, Boulevard Tank 7 and Stella Artois. Additionally, Applebee’s will offer $1 margaritas during the month of May and all-you-can-eat boneless buffalo wings for $11.99 all day, every day, for a limited time.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it can be intimidating picking out a gift to show your appreciation to your own mom or stepmom, the mother of your kids, a grandma, or just a special person who plays an important role in your life. Here are my top picks in all my favorite momming departments!

PAMPERED MOM

My first stop was The Cosmetics Company Store, where I know I can always count on great gift sets of designer fragrances at a discounted price and the hottest makeup palettes with the same great discount. Those two are my favorite go-to gifts when I want to gift something that’s just a little bit more than what she might be expecting or what she might be willing to spend on herself.

THIS MOM’S PICK: Everyone is talking about the Glam Glow line of products and the Cosmetics Company has a whole display of these super high-end, clean beauty products. I was blown away! And the Cosmetics Company price point is just right for gifting these products (and maybe scoring a couple for yourself!). Treat mom to their best-seller, SuperMud® and give her the gift of complexion clearing, detoxifying, clarifying and pore refining forever-young, baby-soft skin! Seriously, she’ll thank you.

ACCESSORIZED MOM

One my first stops when I’m looking for gifts is always Francesca’s. If you’re looking for a stylish gift without committing to sizes or a whole look, definitely consider some of my favorite items they have right now including super trendy embellished clutch purses and wallets, fun summer-ready wide-brimmed hats, and dainty gold necklaces. Stop in and ask one of their friendly team members for help if you need inspiration. They all have great style there.

THIS MOM’S PICK: Accessories go way beyond fashion. After you find the perfect bit of flair for mom, don’t forget one of their beautiful and oh-so-fragrant candles. There are tons but my favorite is this therapeutic Relaxing Lavender candle with a gorgeous gold lid and hip purple geode stone on top. It seriously will smell as good as it looks and she’ll think of you every time she lights it!

STYLED MOM

If you know you want to find something fashionable for mom but you’re not sure where to start, start at Maurices. Their size ranges are totally comprehensive, they provide free shipping to their store if they don’t have the size you’re looking for, and their seasonal collections are made to go together so mixing and matching is super easy. I love their graphic tees for a more casual mom-look and all the fun striped patterned pants and shirts this season.

THIS MOM’S PICK:  Keep the kimonos coming! They’ve been around a while but are still a great way to dress up any look. Bonus points: you don’t need to worry about specific sizing to gift these. I love layering them over graphic tees like Maurices did with this one, but I also like dressing them up for a breezy layered look. This navy one with exaggerated sleeves and a floral print will work all summer long!

JEWELED MOM

Every year, Helzberg, Zales and Kay come up with the trendiest, most meaningful styles especially for Mother’s Day. And no mom is going to turn down diamonds! This year, check out Helzberg’s Diamond Restyle Event on May 7, where special jewelers will be on-site to re-set your existing stones, re-size existing rings, and design unique jewelry. Consider getting mom’s wedding ring re-set or freshened up with a new design!

THIS MOM’S PICK: Throw mom an arm party this Mother’s Day! These adjustable, dainty bolo bracelets are the new “mother’s ring” and I love the idea of stacking multiples from each of your kiddos, featuring each one’s birthstone. If diamonds aren’t in your budget, these beautiful lab-created white sapphire and gemstone bracelets will mean something to mom and go with anything!

LABELED MOM

One of the best parts about Legends Outlets is being steps away from Kate Spade, Michael Kors and Coach all at the same time! Mother’s Day is a great holiday to splurge on a handbag for mom because it’s just in time for something fresh and new for summer. And outlet pricing means you can afford to get mom a piece she’ll carry for the rest of the year!

THIS MOM’S PICK: I can always count on the bright and cheery floral prints at Kate Spade. Every season they get better and better. And while not all moms are ready to carry an oversized flower handbag, you can totally infuse the undeniably happy style into your mom’s life by opting for one of the smaller wallet options like this one that I love. The Sylvia Wildflower Bouquet small slim bifold wallet is the right price point and the right size for any mom!

Father’s Day is coming up quick and shopping for Dad can be difficult, but don’t panic if you haven’t gotten your gift(s) yet. Our stylist Sarah Hagler stopped by Legends Outlets to pick out some last-minute gifts that are suitable for every type of father.

Click here to watch Sarah break down all the gift ides on KSHB 41 Action News, or continue reading below!

Father’s Day is fast approaching but there’s still time to grab some great gifts for Dad. And just because you may be running low on time, it doesn’t mean you can’t still get a cool, thoughtful gift – and stay on budget!

Our favorite go-to spot for gifting is definitely Books-A-Million (BAM). This year, at the top of our gotta-give list is this Crosley Cruiser Deluxe portable record player. While these aren’t new to the marketplace, we are loving this idea for lots of reasons. From their more-competitive-than-ever price point, to their portability and bluetooth capabilities, these vintage looking turntables are sure to please dads from all walks of life.

Bonus: vinyl is in the midst of an epic comeback. Buy your dad a turntable and help him start or add to his record collection! This could be the beginning of a fun tradition, if you want to build his music library with his favorite oldies and new releases that are featured in BAM’s extensive vinyl assortment.

If your dad is a little more new school, be sure to check out BAM’s collection of smartphone accessories. Our favorites include a bright green bluetooth speaker with surprising battery life and sound power, a retro gaming console to play his favorite Nintendo games on any modern display, a virtual reality headset, and a Gameboy style device for more gaming fun for dad!

This may sound crazy, but BAM also has … books! And we are loving them as a super thoughtful gift idea for any dad. Consider nonfiction books that support his hobbies like the titles we found about craft beer, cocktails, history and sports. Whatever your dad is into, this is your chance to show him you support his interests!

While you’re at it, throw in a handsome journal like the leatherbound one we found, or some cute novelty quote books made to feature the words of the men in your life. Fiction collector editions are also a big hit with superfans, like the beautifully bound and gift boxed Sherlock Holmes set we found.

Our next favorite store for Dad is Eddie Bauer Outlet, naturally. This year we are loving their cool collection of outdoor-ready SPF clothing. We grabbed a trendy teal plaid button down and a pair of staple khaki cargo shorts that will take him from a long hike to a family barbeque in one stylish outfit. Waterproof rain jackets are always a popular gift – especially this time of year with the unpredictable midwest weather we love so much!

We also grabbed a handy stowaway backpack while we were at Eddie Bauer Outlet – a favorite for traveling dads because they tuck away in a small pouch then open up for 20 liters of storage. Last but not least: a super handy folding camp table! We loved this for the versatility and novelty of the idea – whether it’s for your dad who enjoys roughing it in the woods or hosting his friends at a tailgate!

Finally, we couldn’t share our favorite Father’s Day gift ideas without featuring the king of all coolers – the Yeti Roadie 20!! We got this one from Cavender’s – a great spot for the outdoor or rural dad. Its ColdLock Gasket means Dad’s ice stays colder longer, and its “No Sweat” design means he’ll never be stuck mopping up a mess. With its compact body and rotomolded construction, this small but mighty outdoor cooler is ready for whatever Dad has in store for his big holiday weekend. We threw in a gift card to Eddie Bauer Outlet and Sporting KC tickets for the ultimate Dad’s Day gift pack!

Oh and did we mention you can WIN the Yeti, Eddie Bauer gift card and Sporting KC Tickets?! It’s true! Just visit the ‘Events’ tab on our website and click the Father’s Day event to enter for your chance to win this awesome haul for your favorite guy!

Mother’s Day is right around the corner but if you’re in a panic about what to get the women in your life who have done so much for you, never fear. Our stylist Sarah Hagler made a quick stop at Legends Outlets and came away with tons of great ideas for the last-minute shopper.

Click here to watch Sarah break down all the gift ides on KSHB 41 Action News, or continue reading below!

Take advantage of the warm weather and go score yourself some affordable and thoughtful gifts for the ladies you love! Here’s how … For starters, whose mom doesn’t love a Coach handbag? Our favorite one this season is a structured pink shoulder bag we found at the Coach Outlet. We tied a cute mauve silk handkerchief on the strap for some added flair and bonus style.

One of our favorite stops at Legends Outlets when it comes to gift-giving is always Francesca’s Outlet. From totally of-the-moment fashion pieces like this gauzy navy and white striped wrap and bright tassel necklace, to seasonally on-point handbags like this straw clutch with bold stripes, we are never disappointed when we look for high-style accessories there. Francesca’s also carries a wide variety of giftable health and beauty supplies like these Rose bath salt cubes.

If you are looking to pamper mom this year, look no further than Beauty Brands, where we found salon brand gift sets like AG hair products and Clarins skin care. We also love the versatility of a gift card for spa services like manicures, pedicures, facials, and hair styling.

Another classic idea came to us at the Bath & Body Works Outlet where we scored a peachy collection of fragrances that looks just as good as it smells! We are loving Bath & Body Works’ line of “Pretty as a Peach” fragranced body splash, body wash, shea butter body cream, and candles for this time of year. We threw on a glam golden pineapple candle topper to complete the collection’s fresh and fruity theme.

One stop at The Cosmetics Company Outlet loaded us up on so many moms’ favorite beauty standard: Clinique! You can’t go wrong with this good-for-your-skin brand when you give her a fun sun protection travel kit in a cheery yellow bag like we found. Of course they also carry a variety of Clinique’s famous staple products you can shop for individually too, as well as bright canvas totes and other fun cosmetics accessories.

For the fashionable mom, we grabbed a gorgeous pair of Tory Burch sunglasses from the Sunglass Hut Outlet. We love this pair because it features a very trendy oversized modified cat eye shape and a cool blue tinted tortoise shell frame that you have to see to believe. The quality and cool factor would make these a noteworthy gift for any mom this year.

Another stop we have to make every time we are shopping for gifts is is the Books-A-Million Outlet, where we picked out a new release cookbook by singer Martina McBride, along with a fun graphic meal tracker notepad. With endless books and tons of beautiful notepads and journals, BAM can hook you up with a thoughtful, useful gift for Mom this Mother’s Day. As a fun add-on, we grabbed some floral painted stemless wine glasses from T.J. Maxx to accompany her healthful gift!

If you’re on the market for something sentimental for Mom, do not miss the Helzberg Diamonds Outlet’s touching collection of keepsake jewelry. Our favorite is this diamond mother and baby pendant in sterling silver and 14 karat rose gold.

Last but not least, for the chicest mom, we got so many great ideas at the new Kate Spade Outlet. It was hard to pick, but our favorites included a cheery leather wallet in a fresh poppy red with tons of storage inside, the ultimate springy crossbody bag in a floral printed leather, and everyone’s go-to bag style this year – the leather mini backpack in mauve.

If you’re like us and having a hard time deciding between all the great ideas, you can always grab a gift card at any of your favorite Legends Outlet stores, including the movie theater and restaurants OR just get a Legends Outlets gift card and let Mom choose how to spend on her day!

Gourmet doughnut retailer The Dapper Doughnut is opening its first-area location at Legends Outlets this May.

Earlier this summer, Legends Outlets announced preliminary plans to transform the west end of the property into a new community space named “The Lawn.” As part of the west end development, Under Armour Factory House will expand and relocate from its current space at 1843 Village West Parkway, Suite C-109, to a newly renovated space at Legends Outlets.

The new location, adjacent to the west end development and next to The Lawn, will offer a larger space for Under Armour Factory House’s expansive selection of performance apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and youth. The new store will offer guests more than 12,000 square feet of shopping compared to its previous location at 6,300 square feet and is slated to open in the fall of 2017.

Kansas Department of Transportation News 

On Aug. 21, a total solar eclipse will occur as the moon passes directly in front of the sun, darkening the sky. With increased traffic anticipated across the state as people travel to view the eclipse, the Kansas Department of Transportation, Kansas Turnpike Authority, and Kansas Highway Patrol advise travelers to plan ahead, be patient, avoid distractions, and practice safe driving habits.

Travelers across the state are encouraged to follow these tips to drive safely on the day of the eclipse:

• Allow plenty of travel time to reach a safe place for viewing, as roads may be congested due to increased traffic.
• Do not take photos or wear the eclipse sunglasses when driving.
• Do not pull over to the side of the highway to view the solar eclipse. Find a location off the highway and right-of-way to observe and/or take photos.
• If you are driving during the eclipse, turn on your headlights and do not rely on your automatic headlights.
• Expect the unexpected: watch out for other drivers and pedestrians.
• Plan ahead for fuel needs and always remember to keep your gas tank full during long trips.

It is also important to be prepared in case of emergencies and create a travel safety kit. Some items to consider for a travel kit may include:

• Non-perishable foods
• Water
• A first-aid kit and any prescription medications needed
• Motor oil
• Antifreeze
• Fuel
• Jumper cables
• Brake fluid
• Windshield washer fluid
• A map

Cavender’s Western Outfitter, one of the original retailers at Legends Outlets Kansas City, has officially relocated to a newly constructed, 16,650-square-foot retail space at 1867 Village West Parkway, Suite D-105. The new space, which sits across from Yard House and next to Charming Charlie, is larger than Cavender’s previous location and features a completely new interior with modern design elements.

A one-stop shop for gifts, accessories, home décor and quality western wear, Cavender’s offers the latest trends in apparel and accessories, including hats and boots, for men, women and children.

Legends Outlets Kansas City announced preliminary plans to transform the west end of the property into a new community space named “The Lawn.” Plans include the addition of park-like features and interactive elements including a jumbo outdoor LED screen placed on Legends Outlets’ iconic smokestack, facing south, and a smaller LED display facing east toward the property’s Civic Courtyard Fountain.

“Legends Outlets is a shopping destination built on experiences,” said Jennifer Wojcik, Legends Outlets’ general manager.” “The Lawn” will further enhance those experiences by providing shoppers, visitors and families with an engaging gathering space for leisure activities, picnics, screenings and events of all kinds,” Wojcik said.

The development plan also features exciting announcements and changes to some retail spaces, beginning with longtime retailer Cavender’s Western Outfitter. Cavender’s will relocate from its current location at Legends Outlets to a newly constructed, 16,330-square-foot retail space located next to Charming Charlie and facing “The Lawn.” Construction for Cavender’s new location is underway, which includes merging two existing retail spaces: Suites D-105 and D-107. Cavender’s is scheduled to open in its new location mid-July.

Legends Outlets is still working on the final design plans for “The Lawn” but plans to begin construction this summer. All stores will remain open throughout construction. The Legends team is working to coordinate all details of the project to ensure an exceptional experience for all shoppers while they work to enhance the property for the future.

Construction update as of August 2017

Construction and installation of the LED screens is on track for a debut this holiday season. Construction on The Lawn is now slated to begin in February 2018, contingent upon weather. The Lawn will debut in late spring of 2018, just in time for family gatherings, leisure activities, picnics and screenings.

Great news: There’s still time to get your dad an awesome Father’s Day gift! And just because June 18 is almost here doesn’t mean you have to settle for anything less than thoughtful for the father figure in your life. That’s because Legends Outlets totally has you covered. Our team made a quick stop at various stores and picked up tons of stuff for all kinds of dads at all kinds of price points!

Click here to watch our stylist Sarah Hagler break down all the gift ides on KSHB 41 Action News, or continue reading below! 

The first place we stopped was Books-A-Million, where we found a super diverse assortment of gift ideas. From the techy dad to the cool dad, this place legitimately has it all. On the top of our list was a pocket drone! Unmanned aircrafts are all the rage right now, and what better way to get outdoors with dad and learn something new together? The Pocket Drone is on sale right now for $180, too, so it’s a steal (normally priced at $200+). Another hot item for the tech dad is the Immerse Plus Virtual Reality Headset, which couples with his smartphone for an awesome VR experience.

For the cool, collector dad, definitely look into Books-A-Million’s excellent variety of hard and paperback books. Some titles we recommend include The One Year Uncommon Life Daily Challenge by Tony Dungy and Nathan Whitaker, and Shoe Dog, a Memoir by the Creator of NIKE by Phil Knight.

We also loved its vinyl section, where we picked up Bruce Springsteen’s latest album, Chapter and Verse, which would make an awesome combo gift alongside his recently published autobiography, Born to Run – also available at Books-A-Million.

We also had a lot of fun shopping Books-A-Million’s novelty and gadget section, where we picked up a handy multi-use tool that includes a hammer and bottle opener, a BBQ apron, a stainless steel travel tumbler, and a sign that says “BEST DAD IN THE UNIVERSE!”

Next stop was Wilson’s Leather, where we picked up a couple high-end gifts for the traveling dad. More than just leather coats, Wilson’s had a ton of cool accessories and travel must-haves for the dad on the go! We scored a beautiful Kenneth Cole Reaction top zip travel kit, and a Wilson’s Leather passport cover. These two thoughtful items topped our list for the dad who seems to already have it all.

Also for the cool dad, you should of course consider stopping at Sunglass Hut. We grabbed two absolute staples – Rayban Wayfarers in black and top-selling Oakley sport shades.

For the sporty dad, definitely check out Sports Nutz. We were blown away by the selection – way more than just jerseys and hats (but those are awesome too)! We fell in love with double-walled stainless beverage glasses that feature dad’s favorite sporting team. To help him show his pride, we also grabbed a car flag, and a shiny chrome decal. Whatever side of the state line you’re from, Sports Nuts has you – and your dad – covered!

To go with the team spirit drinkware, we grabbed a galvanized bucket from Sports Nuts that would make a great base for a customized gift basket for dad. We filled ours with a variety of soda from KC Soda Co., now featuring an assortment of “DAD’s” brand craft sodas. (See what we did there?!)

Of course we had to stop at Eddie Bauer Outlet to shop for our outdoorsy dads! They told us their best selling dad’s gift this year is this amazing packable backpack we picked up in navy blue. They have a variety of colors and sizes but this lightweight travel staple inspired us to grab it and go! Other awesome ideas at Eddie Bauer include a nylon-lined fleece camping blanket with a soft and fuzzy layer that protects from the elements and also rolls up with a great traveling strap. We also scored a really popular Insulated Backpack Cooler – perfect for picnicking or packing snacks on a hike. We also loved their staple camping lantern – an affordable and thoughtful must-have for any dad who loves the great outdoors!

And last but not least, what kind of Father’s Day would it be without a fabulous tie!? We stopped at Brooks Brothers Factory Store to nab their St. Jude’s Striped Tie. If you’re looking for a gift for dad that gives back, definitely pick this stylish tie: Brooks Brothers donates $10 to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital with the purchase of every St. Jude’s tie and pocket square, now through June 18. Another great option for the dapper dad is a classic Brooks Brothers watch with a signature fabric watch band.

With more than 100 stores – and new stuff on sale every day – Legends Outlets really is your one-stop shop for all things Father’s Day!
