RockOn Olde Towne Among 21 Retailers Nominated to Compete to be 2018 Nebraska Retail Champions

The Nebraska Retail Federation has received 21 nominations for 2018 Nebraska Retail Champion. Three of the 21 will be named 2018 Nebraska Retail Champions – one from each of Nebraska’s three congressional districts. RockOn Olde Towne, located on Mission Avenue, was nominated for this recognition from Bellevue. 


All three will receive an expense paid trip to the 2018 America’s Retail Champion competition in Washington D.C, September 5-6, 2018 sponsored by the National Retail Federation. The purpose of the competition is to emphasize the contributions local retailers make to the community (unlike out of state, online sellers).


Jim Otto, president of the Federation, expressed his excitement with the number and quality of the nominees. He commented that “All of the nominees are in fact local champions who generously support their local communities and are succeeding in spite of keen competition. They embody the fighting spirit of American small business and narrowing it down to three is going to be tough."

Mr. Otto joined Nebraska State Senator Carol Blood this afternoon to present RockOn Olde Towne owner John Bowling with a nomination certification and wish him luck as the competition moves on.
