Swifties made her work famous; Now this KC maker has opened a fourth retail shop

Sales jumped after Taylor Swift was seen wearing one of EB and Co.’s rings at a key moment in the popstar’s high-profile romance with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The jolt of exposure helped propel the brand’s expansion — most recently the opening of a fourth shop in downtown Lee’s Summit.

“This location was requested for a long time and will be more than just a store,” said Emily Bordner, founder of EB and Co., describing her hometown return to 305 S.E. Douglas St. “It’s a hub for visitors and locals alike to explore our curated collection of sports-inspired accessories and discover the perfect holiday gifts. We can’t wait to welcome the Lee’s Summit community and create a shopping experience that’s fun, festive, and distinctly KC.”

The new store is already open, boasting an array of jewelry and hair accessories — along with a range of KC-centric specialty collections and a charm bar.

Swift was spotted during the Chiefs’ AFC Championship run in 2024 wearing an EB and Co. piece — designed to resemble a red football jersey with Travis Kelce’s number 87 — said to have been a gift from Kelce’s mother.
