Girls in Kansas City are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the new American Girl retail store, which will celebrate its grand opening on September 4, 2010. Located in the spacious Oak Park Mall, the 9,500-square-foot store will offer an unforgettable shopping experience and engaging activities for girls, such as designing a doll-sized T-shirt or giving their dolls a new hairstyle in the signature Doll Hair Salon.

"We’re thrilled to bring this exciting retail concept to the legions of American Girl fans in Kansas City and the surrounding areas, " says Ellen L. Brothers, president of American Girl. "The new store allows us to provide even more girls with a fun way to enjoy the American Girl experience."

The American Girl Kansas City store will feature a complete assortment of the company’s popular historical and contemporary dolls, along with a wide selection of doll outfits, accessories, and Dress Like Your Doll® clothing and a variety of the company’s best-selling books. Beyond shopping, girls who want to treat their dolls to a new look can visit the Doll Hair Salon, where they can choose from a variety of salon services—from ponytails to pampering to pierced ears. And, for fashionable young fans, the store will feature a "Creativi-tees" boutique, where girls can create stylish T-shirts for their dolls. Girl-friendly events and activities based on the American Girl characters and award-winning books will also be available throughout the year.
