KC Restaurant Institution Changes Hands After 3 Decades

An investment group headed by David M. Block and Alex Block of Block & Company has acquired Chappell’s Restaurant & Sports Museum in North Kansas City, MO for an undisclosed sum. The 7,200-square-foot building has been owned and operated by Jim Chappell for over 30 years, and contains one of the nation’s largest collections of sports memorabilia.

Chappell’s will now be operated by Broseph’s Restaurant Group, a California-based operator brought in by Block & Company. However, David M. Block said much will remain the same amid the changes.

“The menu will be upgraded and we are planning on interior and exterior building renovation,” he said. “But the sports museum concept will remain, and all the memorabilia will stay. We are hoping to expand the collection.”

Block & Company negotiated the sale of the real estate and land, and will be handling the property management of the Chappell’s property.
