Shopping in Leawood

Though focused on bicycles, Elite Cycling equips athletes for both on-land legs of a triathlon with both cycling and running equipment and apparel. Along with a cavalry's worth of racing bikes from brands such as Cervelo, Ridley, and Surly, the store stocks athletic shoes from such brands as K-Swiss and Newton. To ensure customers find the ideal frame during fit analyses, the staff asks series of questions to determine their individual needs and specific cycling goals beyond just having the loudest bike bell possible.

The brainchild of a fashion-forward mother-and-daughter team, the charming Frankie and Jules boutique stocks trendy yet practical apparel and accessories for all occasions.

Finagled from chic Titans, these items come together to create cozy ensembles for casual Fridays and laid-back dates, whereas sleeveless sequined dresses elevate entrances into red-roped venues. Patrons may complete their looks with Frankie & Jules' selection of heels, boots, flats, and bejeweled accessories.

Hedged by evergreen shrubs and flowering bushes, placid tide pools and trickling waterfalls flow into a deep, rocky basin. This backyard oasis is one of dozens of successful installations constructed by Rolling Meadows Landscape and Garden Center’s team of landscape artists. At their garden center, landscape experts of the same ilk assist guests with their own gardening endeavors. In addition to advice on landscape design, eco-friendly gardening goods, and the pros and cons of installing a moat made out of slip ‘n’ slides, Rolling Meadows’ team strives to empower local green thumbs with monthly educational classes and workshops.

Clark's Tool & Equipment opened in the 1970s as a discount tool shop, but when Don Gamble took the helm, he swapped out the supply of inexpensive outlet supplies to feature quality, American-made tools. Since then, the single shop has blossomed into four retail stores and a 15,000-square-foot warehouse stocked with a full line of brands such as SK Hand Tools, Ingersoll Rand, and Eagle Industries. The emporium of tools is an authorized supplier to industry students and teachers with a strong clientele in the rail, trucking, and manufacturing sectors.

Clark's catalog of tools and accessories includes hand tools, electric tools, and abrasives that summon the steady hands and keen eyes of everyone from industrial veterans to DIY enthusiasts. Safety equipment, tool accessories, and compressors are available to round out every toolbox with the appropriate fixings. Expert technicians also sharpen dulled blades, saws, and gardening tools and bring damaged or broken power tools back to life with skilled repair services.
