Two shops, same Big Chiefs Kush standard. Not sure whether to visit Crossroads or Waldo? This guide compares hours, area feel, and location so you can pick the one that fits your day. The short version: the selection and service match at both, so you’re really just choosing by hours and which side of town is closer. Walk in, see and smell before you buy. You must be 21 and older with a valid government ID.

If you’re downtown or out late, this is usually the one to pick.
You’ll find our Crossroads shop in the Arts District on Southwest Blvd, with artwork and character that match the neighborhood. It’s a natural stop if you’re already out in the area for dinner, drinks, or a show.
It stays open until 1 AM most nights and 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays, later than our Waldo shop and later than most shops around town. Read more about being open late in the Crossroads Arts District.
It’s easy to reach from downtown and the nearby highways, at 527 Southwest Blvd, Kansas City, MO 64108. Parking is usually simple, and easier still late at night once the daytime crowd clears.
If you’re on the south side or coming from the state line, Waldo is usually the easier trip.
Our Waldo shop is where Big Chiefs Kush started. It has a neighborhood feel near the Wornall and Main corridor, about 1.5 miles east of State Line Road, at 218 W. 74th St, Kansas City, MO 64114.
Waldo is open every day until midnight and has a wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom. It’s an easy stop from the Plaza, Brookside, and the Kansas side of the line.
Since the product and service are the same, it really comes down to two questions.
Out late, especially on a Friday or Saturday? Crossroads runs until 3 AM on weekends. Shopping earlier in the evening? Either works, and Waldo is open daily until midnight.
Downtown, Northland, or east side of the metro? Crossroads is usually closer. South Kansas City, the Plaza, Brookside, or the Kansas line? Waldo is the shorter trip.
Here’s the part that matters most. The selection and the service match at both shops. Same premium-only standard. Same see-and-smell counter. Same patient team. You’re not trading anything by picking one over the other, so choose by hours and location. See our Crossroads location or our Waldo location for the details of each.
Crossroads. It’s open until 1 AM most nights and 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. Waldo is open daily until midnight.
Yes. The selection and service standard match at both shops.
Waldo is the original Big Chiefs Kush location.
No. There’s no card and no appointment. Bring a valid government ID showing you’re 21 or older.
Yes. We take cash, debit, credit, and Apple Pay.
To be clear about what doesn’t change between the two: the premium-only standard, the three flower tiers, the see-and-smell counter, the patient service, and the payment options. New strains rotate in about every two weeks at both shops. So whichever you visit, the core experience is the same.
If you can’t decide, don’t overthink it. Pick the location that’s the shorter trip today, or the one with hours that fit your schedule. You can always try the other next time. Both are walk-in, so there’s no downside to just showing up at whichever is easier.
Whichever you choose, you get the same premium-only counter and the same patient service. Walk in during open hours and see for yourself.
Come see the difference in person. Walk-ins welcome, no appointment needed. We take cash, debit, credit, and Apple Pay.
