2026 Nebraska Grocery Industry Summit with Ansley Fellers and Charlotte Narjes
Wednesday, 12 August, 2026

Rural grocery stores often run on margins as thin as a penny on the dollar, and one wrong decision can put a store under. In this episode, Charlotte Narjes of the Nebraska Cooperative Development Center and Ansley Fellers of the Nebraska Grocery Industry Association discuss the pressures facing small-town grocers, from competition and ownership transitions to credit card fees and changes to SNAP and WIC. They also preview the 2026 Grocery Industry Summit in Kearney and explain how cooperative ownership models have helped some Nebraska communities bring back a store after it closed.
