Has ammunition and reloading supplies in stock ... in large quantities.

Beyond that, I can't think of a store that Omaha really needs that we don't have.

Rumor alert, someone is talking about having an indoor private(ie. membership only) range in central Omaha.  They have had business studies done and it sounds to be something that can be profitable, should have a gunsmith and locker firearm storage as well as mid range rifle and pistol ranges.  Sounds like discussions are underway to purchase property.

Keep in mind 88 Tactical is going to be in Sarpy County with an indoor facility according to the OWH

Retail (I'm assuming retail since you asked about stores) is a tough business.  You need scale or a very well-defined, profitable niche with little to no competition to be successful.  You'll work nights, weekends and holidays because that's when people shop.  You'll have to fight to compete with the online stores.  I don't mean to burst your bubble, but the incidence of success of small retail stores is very, very low.

I've started several businesses over the years, feel free to shoot me a PM if you want to pick my brain.

You mean the new range going into the old Bakers store just south of 84th & Center St.?

I have heard it is something else, but you know how things get moved around and plans change as looking for real estate takes place.

That's not the description I was given but again who knows when things get moving about trying to get something built or purchased and what comes out of it.

Omaha might end up over saturated with indoor ranges very soon

I've long thought about a restraunt where you could get beef elk bison venison antelope etc.
I used to work for a guy that owned and ran steak house. I ran his bar and cateringfor a bit

Landon, there was a restaurant called the Nebraska Beef Company located at 108th and L, where the burger joint is now.  Their menu was really impressive (had all the items you said plus about another 2 pages),and the food was fantastic.  To bad they went out of biz.

They really did have the best food around in my opinion.

this is pretty much what I'd want
http://www.sammyswildgamegrill.com/index.html

except with maybe a little fuller menu ie steaks

but its my understanding all that meat has to be farm raised, so not like I could serve up the deer I shot next fall.

I also know one of the brothers that opened up that Dudleys Pizza place, they did it all themselves, I might do some research on this. as with a lot of restaurants, location location location, and that costs a lot in Omaha.

I would actually consider going to Omaha if Fleet Farm opened a store.
