Absolutely Fresh Fish

HUMBLE BEGINNINGS

In 1979, Greg Lindberg, hailing from West Point, NE, started driving fresh shrimp and oysters from New Orleans to Omaha in a refrigerated truck, and selling it directly from the truck on the corner of 70th & Dodge. Understandably, people were a little nervous at the thought of buying seafood from the back of a truck, but the word got around due to a quality product at a reasonable price.

THE NAME “ABSOLUTELY FRESH”

Customers were the true inspiration behind our name. When asked if the shrimp was fresh, Greg started answering, “It’s ABSOLUTELY FRESH”! After a couple months of this, he painted it on some signs, then on the truck itself, and it stuck. Our loyal and knowledgeable customers asked for more and we expanded our line to include Mahi-Mahi, Salmon, Snapper along with so many more kinds of seafood from all over the world that we took over an old mechanic’s garage at 18th & Leavenworth as a warehouse. Eventually, Greg opened a Fish Market in the front of that building, where our famous Cocktail Shrimp & Sauce and Smoked Salmon were born!

MOVING WEST & THE BIRTH OF SHUCKS

In 2002, Greg purchased Sherm’s Seafood Market at 119th & Pacific, where Absolutely Fresh was able to greatly expand its offerings and client base. What began with 2 tables and a limited menu of café style offerings within the market laid the groundwork for the first Shucks Fish House & Oyster Bar when the adjoining space next to the market became available in 2006. It was a bit of trial and error, but eventually our concept caught on which led to the opening of Shucks Legacy in 2008 and Shucks Downtown in 2012.

ADDING TO “THE FAMILY”

Upon seeing a “Space for Lease” sign at the former Café Café at 120th & Pacific, Greg took over the space and created Bailey’s Breakfast & Lunch in 2007. He created a menu and atmosphere reflecting home-style cooking with a touch of modern flair and just enough seafood. More recently in 2016, Greg acquired The Dundee Dell from its longtime owner in the hopes of preserving an Omaha tradition at a time when many other storied Omaha restaurants had ceased to exist. The Dell has been a staple of the Dundee neighborhood since 1934, and is home to the Wall of Scotch and famous Fish & Chips.

THE ABSOLUTELY FRESH SEAFOOD COMPANY OF TODAY

With 5 restaurants, 1 Full Service Seafood Market, Catering & Event Services, and a thriving Wholesale Division that provides quality fish &seafood to over 200 different restaurants in the metro area, Greg’s vision has grown into “the real job” that everyone hoped he would find all those years ago. We are proud to be locally owned and operated with over 150 employees – a majority of which have been with us for over 5 years, and some over 20! Our extended family of staff includes siblings, couples, nieces, nephews – even children of our employees. We believe in giving back to the Omaha community that has supported us for all these years (please support our First Tuesday Fundraisers), and look forward to serving you for many years to come.

Dr Pepper Snapple Group

The company now known as DPS has evolved from a combination of discovery, invention and collaboration. This rich history includes the very birth of the soft drink in 1783, when Jean Jacob Schweppe perfected the process for carbonating water and created the world’s first carbonated mineral water.

Dr Pepper and Snapple, the flagship brands of DPS, have origins that share Schweppe’s entrepreneurial spirit. Charles Alderton, a young pharmacist in Waco, Texas, invented Dr Pepper in 1885. It was served at the drugstore where Alderton worked, and the first Dr Pepper fans asked for a “Waco.” The oldest soft drink in the United States, it was later named Dr Pepper, according to legend, after Dr. Charles Pepper, a friend of the drugstore owner.

Nearly 100 years later, three New York-area health food store owners created a unique apple soda they named Snapple. They began selling the original Snapple in health clubs in 1973. Throughout the 1970s, the company that owned Snapple was known as the Unadulterated Food Corporation, later becoming Snapple Beverage Corp.

Growth and Expansion
Cadbury Schweppes was formed in 1969 with the merger of Cadbury and Schweppes, and over the ensuing three decades the company amassed the third largest share of the North American beverage market through a series of strategic acquisitions.

In 1982, Cadbury Schweppes acquired the Duffy-Mott Company (later known as Mott’s), one of the largest apple juice processors in the world. Through the rest of the 1980s, the company added Canada Dry, Sunkist Soda, Crush and Sun Drop.

A&W Brands, which included the signature root beer and cream soda, as well as Squirt and Vernors, joined the portfolio in 1993.

In 1995, Cadbury Schweppes purchased Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc. The acquisition brought Dr Pepper and 7UP, along with IBC Root Beer and the Welch’s soft drink line, into the Cadbury Schweppes family.

In 2000, Cadbury Schweppes acquired Snapple Beverage Group, which included the namesake brand as well as RC Cola, Diet Rite and Stewart’s, among others.

In 2003, the four North American beverage companies under Cadbury Schweppes – Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., Snapple Beverage Corp., Mott’s and Bebidas Mexico – were unified under a common vision, business strategy and management structure to become Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages.

The company established its own bottling and distribution network in 2006, when it acquired full ownership of Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group, the largest independent bottler in the U.S. Subsequently, it acquired several other major independent bottling and distributing businesses, including All-American Bottling Co., 7UP Bottling Co. of San Francisco and Southeast-Atlantic Beverage Corp., Dr Pepper/7-Up Bottling Co. of the West (Reno, NV), and Davis Bottling Co. (PA), among others. Adding to its finished goods manufacturing footprint for distribution of juices, teas, mixers and applesauce, the bottler acquisitions have given DPS control of nearly half of its overall volume in the U.S. and direct access to a substantial majority of the U.S. population.

In 2017, DPS completed the acquisition of Bai Brands LLC, adding its complete lineup of better for you, antioxidant infused enhanced waters, carbonated flavored waters, coconut water and premium teas to the portfolio.

In 2018, DPS merged with Keurig Green Mountain to form Keurig Dr Pepper. For more information about Keurig Dr Pepper, visit www.keurigdrpepper.com.

Douglas County Health Dept.

Imagine a place where people from across the community have an opportunity to grow healthy and succeed. A place where place doesn’t matter and everyone’s human potential is realized.

That is the goal of the Douglas County Health Department – the public health agency overseeing the well-being of more than a half million people in Eastern Nebraska. This responsibility is one we take with great seriousness.

It starts by connecting everyone to a field of opportunity, a health-based grid of care and nourishment that opens the door to great things.

Disease control is a primary focus as the Douglas County Health Department investigates all communicable disease reports, then takes action to prevent their spread. It starts before that by promoting disease prevention through education and vaccination.

The passionate pursuit of health equity is done with the realization that human potential unfilled is everyone’s human potential lost. No one’s health is safe until everyone’s health is safe. In that quest, the Douglas County Health Department also promotes environmental safety.

The Douglas County Health Department is prepared to address the reality of social determinants of health, knowing a person’s zip code is as important to their well-being as their genetic code. Access to good food, safe-affordable housing, exercise, and health care are fundamental.

We inspect pools to set a level of safety and we promote healthy life choices. DCHD works with food retailers to build their businesses around good nutrition. Through this we strive to reduce chronic illness and build the local economy.

Children’s wellness, before and after birth, is part of the foundation we are building. Once it’s built, we need to make sure it grows into a bright future for everyone.

Promoting and protecting public health – that’s what we do.

Frisco Spice

With decades in the spice, cooking, and sausage making business, Frisco Spices are the spice specialists.

In 1928 E.G. Fransiscus started the company in his father’s garage. After three years of providing high quality seasonings and food processing equipment in the Omaha area, he realized he needed more space. In 1931 the company was moved to a building near downtown Omaha at 421 South 12th Street. Business was brisk and in 1945 E.G. still needed more space so he moved the company to 517 South 13th Street. In 1958 E.G.’s son Nick came home from the service and started work with his Father. In 1971 Nick took the reigns and continued the tradition set by his Father. In 1993 Nick Fransiscus and Mike Pullen merged to carry on the business in a much larger scale which allowed us to carry more items while keeping the freshest quality available. In 2000 we realized to better serve our valued customers, we needed to expand to the world of the Internet.

If you’re looking for sausage mixes, sausage seasonings, venison sausage seasonings, meat grinders, sausage stuffers and jerky slicers, you’ve come to the right place.

Glenn Valley Foods

When restaurant industry pioneer Gary Rohwer founded Glenn Valley Foods in 2009, he set in motion a tradition of innovation and uncompromised quality that started in 1981 when Gary opened his first Philly Cheese Steak restaurant. Most notably, Gary channeled his expertise, industry experience and instinct for understanding the needs of restaurant owners and chefs into creating his now-famous Quick Release Puck Philly Steak.

Prior to Gary’s breakthrough food service invention, there was no vertically pre-sliced and pre-portioned quick release Philly meat category at the distribution level. Instead, traditional flat steak was the industry standard – a cut of meat that required labor-intensive chopping, shredding, hacking and tearing during the cooking process.

Determined to find a more efficient way to deliver sliced Philly meat that offers flavor, convenience and consistent quality, Rohwer dedicated himself to inventing a process in which a delicious, premium steak product could be pre-sliced and pre-portioned before it reached restaurant kitchens and store shelves. Thanks to years of careful research and development, his vertically sliced Philly Steak remains one of the most widely used products among restaurant operators and food service distributors across the country.

Today, Glenn Valley Foods offers a variety of beef, chicken and pork products to a wide range of customers – from top restaurant chains to grocery stores, and even directly to the consumer. Whether our products are utilized as the key ingredient for a new menu offering or a quick, delicious weeknight dinner, our customers choose Glenn Valley Foods because they can count on the convenience and versatility, without sacrificing flavor.

Take this opportunity to experience the quality, value and convenience of our Quick Release Philly Steaks and other premium products.

Hospitality Management Systems

Hospitality Management Systems was founded in 1995. We specialize in system solutions for the hospitality industries.

Company Overview
Hospitality Management Systems was founded in 1995 by Mark Carroll, owner of Carroll Business Systems. CBS was already an established MICROS dealer with experience in the Cash Register business since the 1960’s and typewriter sales and service since 1919. Carroll Business Systems, Inc. was started by Leo W. Carroll, Sr. and was known as Carroll Typewriter Co. at that time. The company has been a family business since Leo Jr. joined the company after WWII. Leo Jr.’s son, Joe, joined in 1955 with the addition of his son Mark in the early 1980’s.

The years since 1984 have been the most dynamic, and represent the largest period of growth in the company’s long history. Today our average transaction size is larger than the revenue earned in an entire year in the 30’s and 40’s. CBS has grown both in terms of revenue and geographic presence. In 1995, CBS purchased the MICROS distribution for the Kansas City market and in 1997 acquired the dealership in Omaha, Nebraska. The Kansas and Nebraska markets are handled by a wholly owned subsidiary called Hospitality Management Systems, based in Lenexa, KS.

Hospitality Management Systems, now employs over twenty well trained and customer focused staff, with four offices, and does business over a three state region. Our strategy is to generate and maintain long-term relationships with our customers. Our commitment to total customer satisfaction, which began nearly 87 years ago by Leo, Sr., is still our primary goal today.

Nebraska Restaurant Association

Since the enactment of the Nebraska Kansas Act of 1854, the establishment of Brownville on the Missouri River in that same year, the filing of the first Homestead Act land claim in Gage County by Daniel Freeman in 1863 and the statehood of Nebraska in 1867, Nebraska has been mostly about food. The blizzard of January, 1888, was no exception. As this document is being initiated in 2014, Agriculture is Nebraska’s largest industry and Hospitality is Nebraska’s second largest. Food, therefore, is still Nebraska’s top priority. And that food is shipped all over the world!

During Nebraska’s Territorial history, it had 11 Governors, although one of them was not recognized by the Federal Government and 5 of them were “acting.” Since Statehood, Nebraska has had 39 Governors and one Acting Governor. They’ve all been appreciative of Nebraska food.

During the First and Second World Wars, a lot of Nebraska food was used to feed our nation’s soldiers, as it also was in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. Two years after the end of World War II, Ray Matson, Hilltop House restaurant, Omaha, began serving his two terms as President of the Nebraska Restaurant Association in 1947 and 1948, followed by Horay Anderson of Grand Island in 1949. Ray Matson was the first Nebraskan to serve as the president of the National Restaurant Association. Val Peterson was Governor during their terms and Harry Truman was President of the U.S. In 1949 Harry Truman ordered an airlift of hay to cattle in western Nebraska during a blizzard. In 1950, grateful citizens in Lincoln greeted President Truman during his stop there. By that time Bennie Davis of Bennie’s in Omaha was beginning the first of his two terms as President of the Nebraska Restaurant Association.

In 1957, Ruth Brink, of Kilpatrick’s, Omaha, may have been the first female president of Nebraska Restaurant Association, paving the way for Cynthia Barnes, Clarkson Hospital, Omaha, in 1984, Jan Moore, Amigo’s, Lincoln, in 2005, Dawn (Everett) Amend, Runza International, Lincoln, in 2006, and Judy Daniell, Ricardo’s Mexican Restaurant, Norfolk, 2010.

Being a member of the Advisory Board of the Association is like having a second job. Being a member of the voting Board of Directors and its committees is like have two extra jobs. Being on the Executive Committee, as an officer, is like having three extra jobs. In 1961, the Association began awarding a traveling trophy, for displaying one year, to recognize the Restaurateur of the Year. In 1974, the Association began recognizing the Associate of the Year. So many have contributed to the Association’s success that awards are now being given to Allied Members, Employees and Restaurants of the Year by Region.

During the 1983 presidential tenure of Raymond L. Tonkinson, Dalton Service & Café, Hastings, before the digital age, the Association began offering a free library and video service.

During the three 1986-1988 terms of presidency by John Peterson, Richfield Café, Richfield, the Association began publishing a newsletter and a Nebraska Guide to Good Eating.

In 1989, during the first presidency of Dean Rasmussen, Grandmother’s, Omaha & Lincoln, the Association began offering dual memberships in Nebraska Restaurant Association and National Restaurant Association.

During the 1990 presidency of Jim Bryant, Sax’s Pizza, Grand Island, the Association began hosting its annual awards banquet, “Taste of Nebraska,” which is still going strong.

During the 1991 & 1992 presidencies of Tony Messineo, Valentino’s, Lincoln & Omaha, the Association opened an office, issued jackets to the Board, improved membership records, began offering Food Manager Permit testing, brought in national speakers for the “Taste of Nebraska” banquet, developed a strategic plan and changed the Newsletter to MainCourse Magazine. ‘Twas a busy two years!

During the 1993-1994 terms of President Charles Huff, Village Motor Inn, Lincoln, a trade exposition was resumed, a record number of memberships were signed up and Servsafe classes were begun. Speaking of new memberships, William F. Koehne, Arrow Inn Supper Club, Lincoln, sold 100 new memberships when he was president (year unknown).

During Dean Rasmussen’s 2003 term, the Association changed from a management company to a Board-operated association. Admiral James Partington, USN (Ret.), was hired as Executive Director. Partington soon also began serving as lobbyist for local, state and national issues. James Otto also began serving as lobbyist for the Association.

During Judy Daniell’s presidency, the Association redesigned its website and began selling on-line advertising.

During the 2012 presidency of Denis Hall, Fernando’s Café & Cantina, Omaha, the refinement of appropriate awards to be given out at “Taste of Nebraska” was achieved.

During the 2013 presidency of Wayne Boles, Lazlo’s Brewery & Grill restaurants and FireWorks Restaurant, Lincoln & Omaha, the Association staff, through the work of Brandy Nielson, changed the name of MainCourse magazine to Nebraska Hospitality News. The Buyer’s Guide became an on-line publication. Boles began inquiries into the names of past presidents and the history of the Association, some of which is missing from the archives.

A partial list of past presidents, some with photos and resumes’, is in the archives of the Association.

Membership in the Association over the past decades has included leaders who hailed from Grand Island, where the State Fair now is, Omaha, the home of the largest railroad in the world, Union Pacific, Scottsbluff, named after Hiram Scott in 1843, Columbus, of Behlen fame, Schuyler, Shelby, Norfolk, home of Johnny Carlson, Hastings, home of Tom Osborne, Richfield, Lincoln, largest city in the world named after Abraham Lincoln, Kearney, new home of Nebraska’s Veterans Home, Bennet, Wayne, home of Wayne State College, Fremont, where the 17-year-old Crazy Horse and friends pestered Pawnee farmers in 1857, Callaway and McCook, home of George Norris, Ben Nelson and Bill Harris.

Food for one and food for all!

HISTORY
Formerly Spic & Span Linen Supply, Spin Linen has been servicing our community since 1932. Started as a dry cleaning and shirt laundry in downtown Omaha, spin has evolved to a full service linen supply company.

Founded by Gus and Vic Shiro, they expanded to include linen supply in the 1960’s at the request of several businesses in the area that were interested in having table linen service.

In 1979, Del Ringling and Mike Nisker purchased the company from the Shiro’s and continued to grow the company to include not only hospitality but healthcare services, as well. During their 25-year tenure, they grew the company and further established a solid foundation in the community.

Angela Ringling, Del’s daughter, bought the company from Del in 2005. In that time, the company has grown and now services 600 customers.

We continue to grow our company without compromising our high service standards and excellent product quality – all at a fair price. Investing in our customers’ needs through capital investments that will continue to set us apart from competition is what propels us into the future.

We are proud members of TRSA (Textile Rental Service Association), NHCA (Nebraska Healthcare Association), ORA (Omaha Restaurant Association), Nebraska Restaurant Association, Omaha Chamber of Commerce, Sarpy County Chamber of Commerce, and the BBB (Better Business Bureau).
