Overland Park Serves Up New Jack Stack Headquarters

September 22, 2011 – One of the metro area’s favorite eateries has chosen Overland Park as its new corporate home. Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue, which operates four restaurants in the Kansas City area, including one in Overland Park, will move 13 management and administrative employees from south Kansas City, Mo., to 95th and Metcalf by the end of the year. The company intends to make a capital investment of more than $900,000 in its new 6,500-sq.-ft. office space.

“Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue has a long, proud history in the Kansas City metro area, and I’m excited that the company has chosen Overland Park as its new home,” said Kansas Commerce Secretary Pat George. “I look forward to the continued growth and success of the company moving forward.”

“Barbecue is near and dear to the hearts of many Overland Park residents and workers. On behalf of barbecue lovers, we truly welcome the Fiorella’s Jack Stack Barbecue corporate office. Fiorella’s is an outstanding family business, just like so many others in our great city,” said Mayor Carl Gerlach.
