Bad experience with Target.

“Bought a gift $100+ online, realized later there was a 20% discount I could have received for being a veteran. Pulled it up on their website, manager stated, nope, not offering any military discounts. And that I why I rarely shop at target.”

The Wrap

A fried chicken spot is heading to Olathe. GJ Fish & Chicken is set to open its sixth location on North Ridgeview Road by mid-November, after the fifth one opened in midtown Kansas City just weeks ago. The menu is wider than the name suggests, and 25-year-old owner Ali Modder is the one pushing the expansion. Fryers, fire it up.
