Kansas City’s Sportibles is expanding with two new stores.

It plans to open in Ward Parkway Center, 8600 Ward Parkway, next to Rue21, on June 13.

Another location is planned for the City Market, next to the Arabia Steamboat Museum, at 400 Grand Blvd., Suite 4-20, and scheduled to open July 15.

“We do really well in interior malls. And what was unique with the City Market space, it has an exterior door and an interior door leading into the Arabia Steamboat Museum,” said Sportibles founder David Walby.

Walby started the sports collectibles and fanwear company in 2002.

He also has locations in Independence Center, Oak Park Mall and Olathe Landing at 2006 E. Santa Fe in Olathe.
