Summary
This simple, one story, three bay, brick commercial building was home to one of Omaha's best known independent neighborhood markets for decades. The building was constructed by Ben Newman in about 1920 for his grocery business and was later purchased by Albert Wohlner, co-founder of United Cooperative Foods Stores, Inc in 1933. It is significant as one of the few independent groceries able to survive growing competition from chain stores like Hinky Dinky and O.P. Skaggs. Moreover, the Newman and Wohlner families were considered leaders in both the local grocery trade and among Omaha's Jewish community.
