Wohlner’s Celebrates Milestone 100 Years

Wohlner’s Neighborhood Grocery & Deli (www.wohlners.com), Omaha’s oldest grocery operation, hosted a month-long celebration in May as it marked 100 years of feeding the community and supporting a strong local economy.

Third generation owner Mike Schwartz is continuing a tradition of service and selection that started with his grandfather Albert Wohlner in 1918. “I think my grandfather would be very proud of the fact that, after all these years, we haven’t lost sight of what’s really important – taking care of our customers and supporting our community,” Schwartz said.

Wohlner’s invited the community to celebrate the store’s centennial with an entire month of 100¢ deals, fun themes, prizes, giveaways, and old-fashioned neighborhood cookouts.

Wohlner’s has been locally- and family-owned since day one. Albert Wohlner opened the original store at 33rd and California Streets, ten years after he immigrated to the United States. The store moved to 5205 Leavenworth in the mid-1930s and stayed there until a shift to Aksarben Village in 2008. The 2010 opening of Wohlner’s in Midtown Crossing – just five blocks from the original location – brought the store full-circle.

Wohlner’s is known for its complete selection of groceries, fresh produce and sundries; the finest meats cut and wrapped by onsite butchers; a take-out deli with hot prepared foods; and an upscale wine/beer/spirits department.
