Leavenworth Street corridor seeing solid business growth

OMAHA, Neb. (WOWT) – Elmwood Pharmacy is, in a way, back to where it started 25 years ago.

The pharmacy started in the back of the old Wohlner’s grocery store — then it moved around the corner, sharing space with the medical clinic.

“The opportunity to come back to the building and have it renovated to the pharmacy was something that took a long process to get there, but it was something that we had really outgrown the space we were at for the previous 10 or 12 years,” said Jeff Kilborn with Elmwood Pharmacy.

Now, Kilborn and his pharmacy have plenty of room. And not only has his pharmacy grown — the neighborhood itself is also starting to grow. There’s a pizza parlor coming right next door, and there’s construction work going on to build more housing along Leavenworth Street near Elmwood Park.
