North Omaha’s New Grocery Store

North Omaha is getting a game-changer: The Heart Ministry Center is launching a new grocery store designed to combat food deserts and become a neighborhood hub. CEO Damany Rahn revealed plans for a 22,000-square-foot store at 25th and Lake streets, set to open fall 2025 after an 18-month to two-year build, with 30–40 jobs—many for Fresh Start program grads. No tobacco or alcohol will be sold. Residents like Dorothy Walker-Dombeck are thrilled, as three nearby stores have shuttered in the past 18 months, forcing long trips for essentials. The nonprofit is actively seeking community input for the store’s vibe and offerings, with a second feedback session scheduled June 29. This isn’t just a market—it’s a promise of fresh food, local jobs, and neighborhood pride. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
