The Warsaw circle is compact and simply connected but there are obvious neighborhoods with no simply connected open refinement. This provides a counterexample for the question as originally worded but does not have connected complement.

It can be realized as the union of the following:
$$\left\{(x,\sin\frac{1}{x}):0<x<1\right\}$$
$$0\times[-2,1]$$
$$[0,1]\times -2 $$
$$1\times[-2,\sin 1]$$
