Kansas City’s Crossroads is a thriving area of development, where progress is welcomed without disrupting traffic or business. Brewery Emperial, located in this unique part of the city, has been able to take advantage of this growth and development.

Rich Kasyjanski, owner of Brewery Emperial, has witnessed firsthand the transformation of the Crossroads since he moved to Kansas City in 1995. He remembers a time when it was challenging to find places to go out in downtown, but now there is a vibrant community with many bars, restaurants, and entertainment options.

While Kasyjanski acknowledges the uncertainty that comes with further development and construction in the area, he remains optimistic about the potential opportunities and growth that could come from being located in such a dynamic area. In particular, he sees the potential for increased business on game days if a downtown ballpark were to be built nearby.

Despite any concerns about future developments, Kasyjanski believes that the growth and development in the Crossroads are essential for the city’s continued success. He looks forward to seeing what new opportunities arise as the neighborhood continues to evolve.
