Halfway between Blue Springs and Lee’s Summit sits the small town of Lake Lotawana. Mostly known as a residential community, it will soon be the home for a brand new business venture.

Martin City Brewing Co. has announced they’ll be expanding to the Lake Lotawana area with a brand new concept. The new restaurant, dubbed Station 7, will be located at the intersection of Missouri 7 Highway and Colbern Road in an old used car dealership.

Known for their pizza and beer, Martin City will be partnering with Lee’s Summit coffee shop Love, Coffee on this new concept. Station 7 will feature a cafe concept from the Love, Coffee folks that will offer coffee and breakfast during the morning hours. Pizza and beer will be available from lunch onwards. The concept will also have a patio area that’ll feature yard games and live music.

Station 7 is actively hiring staff members with the plan of opening sometime in the spring of 2022. Be sure to follow Martin City’s social media accounts for the exact opening date.
