Mutual Fund Store and show comes to Wichita

WICHITA — The Mutual Fund Store is coming to Wichita — on air and at Cambridge Market.

The Overland Park-based company’s business is built on its radio show, which founder Adam Bold hosts weekly.

“Our business model is a little bit unique,” says Jeff Roper, who is the franchisee opening the store here.

“Basically, 100 percent of our clients come from a call-in radio show that is on Saturday mornings.”

The show will debut in Wichita at 9 a.m. July 10 on KNSS, 1330-AM.

“We could never go to a market where we couldn’t get on the air on Saturday mornings,” Roper says.

He says the company manages $5 billion in assets with its 80 stores nationally.

Roper has stores in Fresno and Seattle and is a minority partner in a store in Harrisburg, Pa.

He says Wichita is an ideal market.

The store “does very well in Midwestern-type cities.”

The Mutual Fund Store will have 1,400 square feet at Cambridge Market, which is at 21st and Webb.

Don Piros of Landmark Commercial Real Estate handled the deal.
