Bar K confirmed Monday that a deal to sell the Kansas City-based company has fallen through.
In August, Arizona-based Diversified Partners — a commercial and residential real estate services company — issued a release saying that it was buying Bar K and planned to relocate the headquarters to Arizona.
It also set an ambitious goal of opening 100 new Bar K locations throughout the U.S. and Canada by 2027, which would have created hundreds of jobs. Bar K declined to comment further.
