For many years, Leawood upheld a ban on fast food establishments within the city limits. The sole exception was a Wendy's, located at 11001 Roe Ave, which was opened prior to the rule being enacted.

Since the late 1990s the ordinances prohibiting gas stations and fast food restaurants have been revoked.
