BUSINESS

Opening

Doma Update

Doma was a great spot while it lasted.

If you never went, it was at 7703 E Douglas (just north of the mall) and had great drinks and food.

We even hosted our first Wichita Life party there shortly after they opened.

Now owners George and Julie Yang will be moving their current west-side restaurant The Sweet Spot into the former Doma spot and will re-open sometime in December.

The Yang’s also bought the restaurant right next door and it will be called the Super East Buffet with seafood and sushi and will open in 2025. The Yangs just opened KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot at Towne East and plan to open one on the west-side at 2243 N Tyler Rd in 2025.

Closing

Hurricane Impact in Wichita

The Hurricanes have affected more than just Florida.

ICT IV here in town is hurting as there is a supply shortage of IV bags as hospitals take priority over other centers (for good reason).

CIVIL

Open Streets ICT

Just a quick reminder you don’t want to miss Open Streets ICT on Sunday! Just mosey on over to Douglas between 12-5 and bring your walking shoes.

Multimodal Facility

The groundbreaking for future Multimodal Facility better known as The Hub will take place today at 9am at the corner of S. Sycamore St and W Texas Ave.

TOGETHER WITH DELTA DENTAL

Smiling releases endorphins, natural mood boosters, and reduces stress.

This is a whole lot easier when you have a plan to protect your family's smile.

That is where Delta Dental comes in. They have four plans to choose from and with Right Start 4 Kids, kids 12 and under receive coverage at 100% for all services covered under the plan when an in-network dentist is seen.

With over 50 years of expertise and the largest network in Kansas, why would you choose to go with anyone other than Delta Dental of Kansas?
