Northland Feed

Northland Feed is an independent feed, pet-supply and small-engine sales and service store on North Brighton Avenue in Kansas City’s Northland, in business since 1983.

Description

Northland Feed operates from 4807 N Brighton Avenue in the Antioch-area Northland of Kansas City, Missouri, in Clay County.¹ The store combines two trades that historically travelled together in outer-ring farm-and-suburb territory: bagged feed and pet supplies on one side, and a small-engine bench on the other.¹

The business describes itself as carrying feed, pet supplies, and lawn and garden supplies, alongside small-engine parts, repair and service for both commercial and residential equipment.¹ On its Facebook page it summarises its own product range as feed for dogs, cats and poultry, with small-engine sales and service as the other half of the operation.² It runs a parallel web storefront under the name MowerPartsKC at the same domain, and is listed as an authorised Briggs & Stratton dealer.¹³

The shop’s stated policy is that equipment leaves assembled and ready to use rather than boxed, and that it services what it sells.⁴ That posture — sell the mower, then keep it running — is the practical reason a store of this kind survives against big-box competition in a corridor that also holds national farm-and-home chains.

Ownership and history

Northland Feed states on its own website that it was established in 1983 and is independently owned and operated by Jim and Theresa Platt.⁴ Its Facebook page describes the business as “a staple in the northland since 1983.”² Both are first-party claims; no independent press account of the founding was located.
