1950-1963: The Beginning

1983
Omaha’s transformed itself in 1983 to a true Army Navy Surplus Store with an expansion into a new building, offering authentic products such as clothing, military outdoor field gear and adventure equipment with an incredible selection of hard to find genuine surplus items. In 1987 the old man’s sons jumped on board to help expand the business.
1999
In 1999, the Omaha’s Surplus e-commerce retail store was born, with the ability to offer more products to people all over the world.
50th Anniversary
In 2013, to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Omaha’s Surplus, a new logo and website were created providing a fresh look to the historic branding. Still family owned and operated, further expansion continued with the opening of a new entrance at 2412 Whitmore where the visiting public can experience the working warehouse and a return back to the 1963 store front.
