Tilted Kilt Pub & Eatery, a Celtic-themed sports bar chain known for its scantily-clad servers, is entering the area market.

New franchisee, TKKC LLC, is leasing the former Wil Jenny’s building at 6700 W. 135th St. in Overland Park. It plans a major renovation of the freestanding building before a mid-to-late October opening. It will have more than 100 employees.

The area franchisee also plans to open two more Tilted Kilt locations in the Kansas City region.

At Tilted Kilt, female employees wear “sexy plaid kilts and matching plaid bras with white camp shirt,” and male employees wear traditional-length black kilts and black T-shirts.

The menu includes Irish dip (shaved rib eye steak topped with melted Swiss cheese and a side of hot au jus for dipping), blackened chicken flatbread, Shepherd’s Pie, Dublin Irish stew, and specialty burgers. Its chicken tenders and its fish and chips are made-to-order, and it also is known for its grilled or fried chicken wings.

The Tempe, Ariz.-based company has 96 locations across the U.S. and in Canada.

Wil Jenny's restaurant and bar closed in March after nearly eight years of operations.
