Downtown Kansas City adds grocery store

? Long on residents’ wish lists, a grocery store is opening in Kansas City’s downtown.

Cosentino’s Market Downtown is slated to open Tuesday in the Kansas City Power & Light District.

The new 33,000-square-foot store will have meat, seafood, produce, bakery, liquor and floral departments. It also will have a prepared foods area that includes sushi and hot pasta bars.

Downtown Council spokesman Michael Hurd called it a “first class, very urban-oriented grocery store” and says it’s a big moment for the city’s downtown.
