The entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well all across Nebraska. Nowhere is that more apparent – and more accessible – than at the Buy Nebraska store in Kearney. The shop is full of nothing but Nebraska-made items from Nebraska companies, and every purchase goes toward supporting small businesses in the Cornhusker State.
The Buy Nebraska Store is an arm of the GROW Nebraska Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Nebraska entrepreneurs and their businesses.
The retail location in Kearney is filled with products that were all made right here in Nebraska. Snacks, baking mixes, home decor, candles, bath and body items, apparel, and more pack the store.
If you're a visitor just passing through and want to know where to find the best souvenirs in Nebraska, this is it. You'll not only get to take home a reminder of Nebraska, but you'll also get to support Nebraska businesses.
GROW Nebraska's mission is to support Nebraska-based businesses with education, training, retail space, and marketing. The organization gives small business owners the tools they need not only to succeed, but to thrive.
GROW Nebraska and the Buy Nebraska store have helped support hundreds of businesses from every part of the state. Even rural entrepreneurs who don't typically have access to the global marketplace are represented by GROW Nebraska.
You won't just find Buy Nebraska in its retail location; it also has a huge space every year at the Nebraska State Fair. Visitors can browse, sample, and take home a little piece of a Nebraska success story.
But where Buy Nebraska's inventory really shines is in its online store. It features the largest selection of Nebraska-made goods in any one place, representing hundreds of small businesses.
Shoppers can choose items individually, pick out a pre-made basket of goodies, or assemble their very own custom gift box. The store ships products domestically and internationally, or you can place an order online and pick it up in the store.
No matter what you pick out, you can feel great about your purchase because you're supporting some Nebraskan's dream and livelihood. GROW Nebraska's wide-reaching aid has helped hundreds of entrepreneurs get their ideas off the ground and keep them there.
