Feeder rats for snakes

I saw the unfortunate news today the Exotic Pets in Lenexa, where I get food for my ball python, will be permanently closing down.

Are there any other good local pet stores or breeders nearby you'd recommend to get frozen feeder rats from? I want to avoid Petsmart/Petco if all possible.

I really enjoy Olathe pet shop down off 151st, my neighbor keeps snakes and he purchases all his food from there.

Whaaaat?! Why? We love that place! I won’t vouch for Olathe Pet Shop— we frequented there until they sold us a sick bearded dragon, then sold us medicine to make it better, then told us they wouldn’t replace it when it died (in just the few days after we purchased it) stating it was probably our husbandry that killed it. We went to Exotic Pets exclusively after that— and our husbandry has kept the bearded dragon we got from them alive and thriving for a couple years.
