Taco chain with a mission to end world hunger plans two Kansas City area restaurants

Arkansas-based Tacos 4 Life has a dual mission: serve great food and help end world hunger.

Now it plans to enter the Kansas City market with two area locations by two different franchisees.

A location in the former Kneaders Bakery & Cafe at 12180 Blue Valley Parkway, Overland Park, is scheduled to open in late summer. Kneaders closed its three area locations two years ago.

A location at 1105 N.W. Missouri 7, Blue Springs, is scheduled to open in the fall under a different franchisee.
