Missie’s Discount Liquors is located at Quivira & Shawnee Mission Parkway. The one thing the company loves more than a cocktail hour is animals! In fact, Missie’s dog was found AT Missie’s Discount Liquors. Someone dumped a dog in her parking lot & drove off. Since then, Missie has had a mission to help animals, who have not had the luxury of a home.

Missie’s Discount Liquors hosts doggy spotlights on a few Friday’s each month. Follow them on social media, so you don’t miss the next one!
