Genesis of Kansas City Celebrates Grand Opening of New State-of-the-Art Facility

The new location offers a curated luxury experience and an upgraded service drive

MERRIAM, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Genesis of Kansas City is celebrating a major milestone with the grand opening of its new facility at 7220 W Frontage Road in Merriam, marking a new chapter for the luxury automotive retailer and its growing presence in the Kansas City community.

Walser Automotive Group acquired Genesis of Kansas City in May 2024. Since then, the dealership has operated from a temporary location in Overland Park while construction of its permanent home was underway.

The new facility was designed to reflect the high-end customer experience associated with the Genesis brand while establishing a lasting presence in the Kansas City market. The 21,000-square-foot space includes 10 service bays, a Zen garden, a show floor with interactive lights, and a luxurious customer lounge.

“Our goal is to create an experience where people feel valued, listened to, and taken care of,” said General Manager Tucker Walser. “The new facility gives our team the opportunity to deliver that experience in a space that truly represents Genesis.”

Since opening in Kansas City, the Genesis team has focused on building customer relationships and creating a welcoming, personalized buying experience. That commitment has helped the dealership establish a loyal customer base—even while operating from a temporary location.

“We have customers who believed in us from the very beginning, and we're incredibly grateful for their patience and support,” Walser said. “This grand opening is really a celebration of them, our team, and what we're building here in Kansas City.”

The facility represents a major investment by Walser Automotive Group and a commitment to Genesis’s long-term future in Kansas City. The dealership will showcase the Genesis lineup and offer customers a premium sales and service environment.
