Locally owned Joy Wok Super Buffet Hibachi Sushi is setting up for some big changes in 2022.

First it will close its longtime location in Overland Crossing, at 11920 Metcalf Ave. in Overland Park, on Dec. 31. It will then relocate and double in size — to 15,000 square feet — at 12631 Metcalf, formerly home of Plaza III the Steakhouse. A May opening is scheduled.

Joy Wok said it is relocating to make way for Whole Foods Market (which is relocating its store a half-mile away to Overland Crossing).

In addition, Joy Wok is taking a 6,000-square-foot space in the redeveloped Wornall Village shopping center, 8406 Wornall Road, for a September opening.

Its buffet has more than 150 items, including sesame chicken, orange beef or chicken, spicy beef and scallops, pan fried noodles, spring rolls, and fried or steamed dumplings.

    British businesses recorded their fastest growth in activity in nearly a year this month, according to preliminary purchasing managers' data that points to a bigger rebound from last year's shallow recession than economists had been expecting. However, businesses' costs also rose at the fastest pace in nearly a year due to rising wages and higher prices for transport and raw materials - factors which may make the Bank of England more cautious about cutting interest rates. The gain was led by an big rise in the services index to 54.9 from 53.1, while the index for the smaller manufacturing sector unexpectedly fell to 48.7 from 50.3, a move below 50 that takes it into contractionary territory.
