KANSAS CITY, Missouri — There’s a reason she’s called Queen B. Beyoncé’s visit to Kansas City has a positive impact on businesses large and small.
Several people who were taking photos in front of the “Bey in KC” sign at Union Station flew over to see Beyoncé in Kansas City. Of course they need accommodation.
Beyonce in Kansas City: When do parking lots and stadium gates open?
Visit KC’s Derek Byrne said this weekend that empty hotel rooms will be hard to find throughout the downtown core, Country Club Plaza and BEYond.
“There are a number of properties in the city center that are completely booked. “There are no suites, no availability whatsoever,” Byrne said, “and that’s a good sign.”
Byrne said Kansas City expects about $13 million in direct economic impact from the Renaissance World Tour.
“It’s a holiday!” said Kirsten Bradley. “As a fan, I’m thrilled, and now comes the fact that my cookies are arriving.”
Bradley has also seen the Renaissance World Tour increase its revenue. She is the owner and baker of Be Our Guest Sweets.

Word got out about her delicious cookies and cool Beyoncé disco ball designs, and she said the orders started pouring in.
“I was honestly afraid to put myself out there,” Bradley said. “And that really just shows me that I should have headed there a long time ago, and I’m excited to see where it goes.”
Bradley baked 48 Beyoncé cookies, which, in addition to her regular custom cookie orders, makes it her busiest week yet. She has been selling cookies for a year.
As Bradley mentally bakes these cookies, she’s back at a Beyoncé concert in Dallas in 2018 when Beyoncé pointed at her in the crowd.
Bradley is a big fan and said she’ll bake Beyoncé cookies when she’s in Kansas City if Queen B has a sweet tooth.
