Monstera's Books in Overland Park, Kan., is set to expand into an adjacent storefront, the Kansas City Star reported. In a social media post, store owner Kate Wieners announced she'd signed a lease for the space next door, which previously housed a restaurant. With the expansion the store will roughly double in size, giving Monstera's "more space for community events, books, new products, and more."
Located at 7930 Floyd St., Monstera's Books sells new and used titles, along with plants, records, gifts, and more. The shop opened in March 2024. In August 2025 it suffered severe smoke and water damage after an electrical fire broke out in the restaurant next door.
Monstera's was closed for more than three months while the store was cleaned out "down to bare studs," with Wieners and her team fulfilling online orders and hosting pop-up sales outside the building. On December 6, 2025, Monstera's held a grand reopening and ribbon cutting celebration.
The store will post updates about the expansion on social media.
