"I mean, you look at the walls and look at the shelves, and there's just culture," Latasha Bolden said.
Bolden is the owner of Lady T's Gourmet Creations. She and Brandon Louis, owner of Huskerland Popcorn, each own businesses in the area and are excited for the opportunity to find new customers.
"So being able to come down here in the community, North Omaha, and have our product on the show here. It's outstanding," Louis said.
Imani Murray, owner of Ital Vital Living, is also setting up shop inside. Her partnership is a big step as the center tries to establish itself as a neighborhood destination.
