Episode Details

North Omaha is set to welcome a groundbreaking 25,000-square-foot nonprofit grocery store this fall, designed to combat food deserts and spark economic revival in a historically underserved neighborhood. Featuring old-school baggers, a culturally relevant butcher shop, a deli, a florist, and community spaces for health screenings and events, the store blends convenience with care. Led by Heart Ministry CEO Damany Rahn, who grew up in the area and remembers the struggle to find fresh food, the project aims to be a welcoming, safe haven. Priced at $6–7 million, all proceeds will reinvest into Heart Ministry’s mission—supporting food, healthcare, and life skills through initiatives like their existing laundromat and floral shop. Part of a broader revitalization effort including streetscape upgrades and new housing, the store will avoid alcohol, tobacco, and gambling, honoring the community’s vision for a healthier future.
