Cockrell Mercantile: Family-Owned, Historic, and Full of Charm

Cockrell Mercantile has a rich history spanning over five decades, making it a treasured shopping destination in Eastern Kansas City. Its origins date back to the 1800s, when it was a modest general store serving the local community's essential needs. Over time, it has transformed into a vibrant, unique shopping destination that still retains its old-world charm while appealing to modern shoppers.

What sets Cockrell Mercantile apart is its family-owned and operated nature, preserving a sense of warmth, tradition, and personalized service that larger chain stores often lack.

  • This is my favorite outing. They have the best assortment of cooking and baking needs along with some very specialty things. It is the most charming place and the free tea while you shop makes it that much more special. You have never been anywhere quite like this place. Make it a stop on your next day out.

  • A unique shopping experience south east Lee's Summit, MO. A cute place to spend a few hours looking through several cute buildings. You will find housewares, kitchen, knick knacks, antiques and of course friendly faces. I highly reccomend the drive here.
