Article about Nelson's Food Pride!
Nebraska is a state whose majorities of grocery stores are independently owned. Independents drive the industry, from large multiple store companies to single storeowners. Each has found their niche and excels in a variety of areas, depending upon consumer needs.
Julie Johnson, owner of Nelson’s Food Pride in Oakland, Nebraska, is the 3rd generation to operate the store. Oakland has about 1400 people within the community and the store draws customers from 30 miles. Julie purchased the business from her father in 1989 and has worked diligently to serve the customers within her community. Nelson’s Food Pride celebrated 100 years of their family owned business in 2010.
When asked what makes her business unique Julie mentioned the fact that they specialize in Swedish items. She set up a web site at www.nelsonsfoodpride.com, and as a result has shipped Swedish foods across the United States. Owners and employees try to make the store a fun place to shop. Employees are very friendly and helpful. They also give customers what they want and need, to keep them shopping at home. They try to make the store the customer’s personal store that will bring them back day after day. Julie mentioned that her Dad was her mentor. He taught her to work hard and always put back into the business. In return, it will give back to you. Her husband, Terry, also taught her not to focus on the income of the business, but focus on the success and your reward will be success.
Of all her accomplishments, she is most proud of the fact that she has added 2500 square foot to the store, increased her volume, and has developed a web site, which is continuing to grow. She truly loves her business and everyday is a new day full of adventure. One thing about the grocery business, according to Julie, is that every day is different and challenging. Nelson's Food Pride hosts an annual Christmas wine and cheese open house every year. Many people attend to enjoy the festivities of the Christmas Season.
This year we have added so many more specialties imported from Swedish to enhance our large arrangement of Swedish foods. We have added 2 more varieties of cheeses, many varieties of cookies in decorative tins and the most different item for us was adding Fishballs. Give them a try....It's always fun to broaden our taste buds with interesting foods.
