Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, It's Lucy Chapman, and thanks for joining me again
for another years more. And I'm going to learn some
stuff about your city, your city of Omaha, some stuff.
But we're talking about Spaghetti Works today in the Old Market,
and I've got Shelley Stokes here, president and Will Stock here,
general manager of Spaghetti Works in the Old Market. Welcome
to both of you.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Thank you, thank you. We're going to talk.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You get a big event going on this Saturday. It
had been moved, it was earlier, Shelley.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
What happened? We got hit with snow. We live in
the Midwest. We can never predict what's going to happen,
and it fell on Small Business Saturday and pretty well
shut the event down. We couldn't have Santa Claus standing
out in the snow. So we moved it to this weekend,
the twentieth and changed its name.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That was the same weekend of the Holiday Lights too.
Did that go on the Holiday Lights? Did they moved
it to Sunday?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh? Okaying, everything shifted absolutely. Well.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We're going to talk about the event that you've got
coming up this weekend. It's Jingle and Mingle and it's
going to be spectacular. We've been down there before. This
is not your first time of doing the Old Market
and the holidays and just celebrating the city of Omaha
and Christmas.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
All the Christmas lights are up. That's usually why we
do small business Saturdays. Bring everybody down to see the
Christmas lights come down in the afternoon with your family.
We always have you, of course, are always there. We've
got prizes, we've got Santa Claus this year, we've got
the old sleigh up on the dock. All the things
that we do. You're right, we've done it now. I
(01:33):
think we're on our fourth or fifth year of doing this.
Always a lot of fun with always fun.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And will you are general manager of the Old Market
Spaghetti Works? Yes, how are you been there?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well with the company almost seven years.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I've only been in the Old Market for about six
months now, six months maybe seven.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, And it's the best place ever to work.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh, I love it. I love downtown Live.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So you've got to have just thousands of repeat dying
because once you come to the Sphetti Works, maybe for
the first time they come back.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
We get people who have never been there before. Still,
but a lot of the people who come in still
are repeat people who have been there forever. I mean,
we just had a table that was in yesterday that
was in from Lincoln. They come twice a year. They
come to Omaha twice a year and every time they
come down to the Old Market. So I mean we
have people who who are in Omaha who come all
the time. But we have people from I mean the
different states. Even I have people from Des Moines that
(02:28):
come from when there's a Spaetty works there. We have
people from Kansas City that come to visit or for
tournaments and sports events. They come, they come all the
way and then just make sure they have to stop
at Spagetty Works. I mean we get them all.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And you know, Shelley, it might sound like, well why
are you talking about do you know people come into
spaghetti works over and over again. I think it's really
important to really push the point that small town or
small business owners and when I say small you have
two locations correct, in Ralston and in the Old Market,
but to patronized to continue to support small business, especially
(03:03):
home grown restaurants, because we've lost a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We have in the last few years, especially after COVID.
You know, I think the important part of that is
it is a small business thing and that's part of
what this Saturday was supposed to have been. And now
we're just moving it. But we've been doing this for
fifty years. The other thing that you have to remember
is sometimes we have to tap people on the shoulder
to let them know that we're still here and it's
still a lot of fun, and we've got the big
Christmas tree, and we can accommodate these large parties, and
(03:30):
those are the things that I think people forget sometimes
over time when you've been around this long. So we
do this every year to kind of tap everybody on
the shoulder and make sure they remember. Like Will said,
we're on our fourth or fifth generation of people that
we've had, people that have been engaged, married, They came
in school, their parents brought them. Now they grant. Those
people are grandparents and they're bringing grandchildren. It's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, it's an iconic place in the Old Market. It's
literally iconic. You've been there for over fifty years. Everybody
knows the dock, everybody knows the corner that you're on,
and they have to go to spaghetti works because it
is just amazing the food is so good.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Thank you. We appreciate that, and we do try to
do just that. But and I think too part of
it is that corner is probably one of the most
photograph corners in the city. And it's because it's right
there in the middle of the Old Market. And now
with the holiday lights up, it's just beautiful. I mean,
the snowflakes are out, the trees are all lit, We've
got the reindeer. Even our own dock has lights, and
(04:31):
we have one of our employees comes in every year
and does our Christmas tree, which is seven feet tall
in the building. Again, with those ceilings, you got to
have a really tall tree, right right. Well, the event is,
it couldn't be at a better time. And I know
that we come down in the summertime too and hang
out with you guys. But at Christmas, there's just no
place like Christmas in Nebraska, in Omaha, like the Old Market.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think that's the thing is. It's not just even
about spaghetti works, it's also about the Old Market. You
can't come somewhere and find those unique stores anywhere else.
Everything in the Old Market is unable to be found
in most of the rest of the city, and so
that's what's really cool about it. You can see the
Christmas Shop, which has been around for almost as long
as Spaghetti Works has. You know, there's two candy shops,
(05:17):
there is a made in Omaha shop. Now there is
clothing and you know, you have to get out of
those cars and walk around. And I know it's a
little chilly this time of year, but it's all so
beautiful that you have to get out and walk. You
can't drive through it, you got to walk it and
see it all. Well, let's talk about that event. We've
got Grinch coming Santa Claus, as you mentioned, is Missus
(05:39):
Claws going to be able to join him this year?
Missus Claus will. They will both be out on the dock.
We've pulled in some nice comfy chairs so that we
can make sure they have a good place to sit.
But they're going to be outside unless it gets way
too cold and then we'll move them inside. But yes,
and the Grinch this year is with them.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That is fantastic. But Homers and Hollywood Candy, as you
mentioned the candy stores, Homers and Hollywood Candy have really
helped to make this happen as well.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
They have Homers and Hollywood Candy every year are part
of the sponsorship of this. And yes, if you've never
been to Hollywood Candy, it is actually some of the
wildest candy that you've known from your childhood that you
can't ever find anywhere else, along with a bunch of
other things. It is an event to be seen to
go through there. And then of course Homers is records
(06:20):
and they've been there, oh fifty I think they're fifty
two years.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Actually longer than I've been alive, but no, not quite.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's absolutely amazing to go through there and want and
see the albums and the collections that they have and
all of the things that they They still sell tickets
to things, and it's a pretty amazing. Again, that's part
of the old market experience. You don't just walk by
Hollywood Candy or Homers. You have to get in the door,
you have to see it.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, Hollywood Candy is almost like a museum.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It truly is. It truly is. They're arcade now and
they're candy store, and the candy store is like the
old time convenience store on steroids. I think candy that
you've not seen in years. Somehow they have it, so
I know my kids are always big into the pop
rocks at the time. That is the only place in
(07:10):
the world that still has pop rocks.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There's a place in Colorado that makes chocolate bars with
pop rocks on top of them hot like jalapeno or
something wow crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And for those who have never experienced a pop rock,
you've got to get down there and buy.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Something exactly, you know. And I wanted to touch on
something that you had said that. It's that Homer's has
been there and you can see so much and it's
almost like a museum. At Hollywood Candy. You can get
your Christmas shopping done. In the old Market, you can go.
They've got clothing stores, they've got places to buy brand
new things at all of the stores. But this is
(07:44):
a place where you can go when you've got somebody
on your list. It's like, you know what, I don't know,
I give up because you'll find something there within those shops,
those small business shops. Some of the you mentioned maiden
omahah just new to me. I had not heard about that,
not by there now.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yep. If you're looking for something for somebody that you
can't buy in a regular store, you're looking for something unique.
There's not a store in that old market that will
not give you that. Like you said, I've gone into
the maid in Omaha store because everything there, from granola
to soup mixes to shirts are all made here locally.
(08:23):
Imaginarium is another great store. I'm probably missing some of
the retailers that are down there, but Imaginarium is. If
you're looking for something unique, you will find it in Imaginarium.
And I can't even describe because there's so many things
in there, but we've been in there and found just
the wildest things. A Harry Potter box one year made
out of wood that somebody they'd found, and this was
(08:45):
it was a perfect gift. You couldn't find it anywhere.
You couldn't even order it from Amazon if you wanted to,
it didn't Amazon. So again, it's all unique. And that's
why those hard people that you have to shop for
that you don't know and they don't need a lot
of things, you'll find something fun down there for.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And we can't leave that topic without at least mentioning
Joe's Antiques because I walk in there. Every time I
walk in there and I just laugh, not because I'm
laughing at them, but I'm just laughing at the absolute
nothing is.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Where you think it's should be.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
But I have found some amazing things down there. Collectibles.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
This is where the fun shopping comes out, because you're
not shopping for that particular red sweater or that certain
thing to hang on the wall. It is really you
have to spend your time just wandering and looking and
thinking about the people you're buying for because there's nothing
there that will be on their list. It just can't be.
And again, as we said, even Hollywood Candy just going
(09:41):
in and creating a little basket out of what they
have to offer of fun candies that you've not seen
in a long time. It's unique gifts. And I think
that's where sometimes we get caught up and what do
you want? And the Amazon list gets big, and this
is the unique stuff. This is the stuff you don't
find anywhere else. This is the stuff that you will
see and go, oh, they will love this. They couldn't
(10:02):
get it anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
How do you like all the new park and all
of the new things going on, and that the old
market is changing for the better, for the better, but
it is changing. What do you think about all that?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I think we doubted the park in the beginning. We
really did. Weren't sure what was going to happen with that,
and that has been They have done a phenomenal job
of activating that park and bringing in events and concerts
and uh there for a while they had camels on Wednesday,
which was hump Day camels. They brought camels. You didn't
see the camels. No, yes, they had camels. I don't
think you could ride them, but they were for the kids.
(10:34):
They have all kinds of kids activities in the summer.
I mean, they've really activated this park and now you
can just come down and see the lights. But yeah,
they brought oh, camels, They've done Sunday is yacht Day
and so they have model yachts that go out on
the on the water and they remote control of them.
So lots of fun things, which adds to just more
people down there, and it just it's so fun to
(10:57):
people watch again, and we've got one of the corners
for it. So you come down, you people watch because
there's just all kinds of people down there and they're
all there, they're enjoying the atmosphere, they're having fun. It's
if you absolutely can't find your gift. I guess gift
cards work too, and there's plenty of unique places for
those too, so that works.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You know all of the the activities that are down
there that are bringing families down, and we'll ask you
about this. This is a place where you can spend
the day in the park. You know, maybe maybe it's
a little cold right now to spend the whole day
in the park, but you know, the park's open all year.
But you can bring your whole family, spend the day
in that beautiful park and then head over to spaghetti
(11:34):
works and you can feed the whole family affordably, right.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I mean, I feel like the Old Market is a
day long adventure. It's it's not a five to ten
minute trip. I mean, you go down there, you're you,
like Shelley said, you have to walk around.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
You can't. You can't drive from Storre to store. I mean,
I guess you could. I don't. I don't see why
you want to do that, But you miss the experience.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Right, I mean you have blocks to walk in different stores,
and like she said, they're all so different inside they
all have so many different things, and not to mention
just walking inside the stores, you get outside. You see
all the lights lit up. I mean, you see, you
see a part of town that doesn't look like anything else.
You see the streets all made a brick. I mean,
the buildings are all so old and and and historic
and they look very very cool. I was outside Friday
(12:15):
night and with the snow falling, seeing all those Christmas
decorations and the and the brick.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
It just it was a scene.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And like even me, who works down there all the time,
had to like stop and look at it. I took
a couple of pictures on my phone. I was like,
I've never like realized how beautiful it is down there.
And then not to mention, you have all the stores
to go in, and then at the end you have
places to eat like spaghetti works, and and that is
nice about us. We are we are pretty affordable. So
let's say you spend a little too much money on
those people you're trying to get gifts for you, you
(12:40):
can still go out to eat not break your wallet,
you know, I mean, you can make a whole day
for the whole family and make some accomplishments with gift shopping.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So you know, and I really forgot because they updated
that that skating rink just got reopened up to leave
here just in the last week or so and it's
all been updated, so now it's to be you can
ice skate even when it's a little warmer out, so
again people who just need to bundle up, and you've
got ice skating and a play park and it's amazing
(13:10):
what they've put in that park.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And I think this weekend is going to be the
perfect weekend. I think I saw it supposed to be
above freezing even and after that, after seeing how many
people were out and about this past weekend with how
cold it was, I mean, you can walk around this
weekend and I'm sure it'd be beautiful compared to how it
just was, so I mean, I mean this is the
perfect weather to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I think, you know, speaking about walking around and just
people watching, you're on that perfect corner. And let's talk
about just briefly, because I know you got stories. Let's
talk about the celebrity sightings.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I know you've seen them.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Who was that was? That was just there?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
We had a Nick Jonas just walked by Spaghetty works
Nick Jonas when he was here. What the Jonas brothers
were out and about and then who do we gosh,
we just had another one.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Who was it?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I don't remember who that was. The funny thing is
they just show up. You don't know they're coming, right,
and so suddenly they'll show up and everyone buzzes because
when you see them in spaghetti works, do you know
that that's them? Or do you not know that's them?
And so in the context exactly, so everybody's whispering and
everybody wants to know. And yeah, we've had well and
(14:17):
actually one of the George Clooney films was filmed right
outside of our building and it's exciting to see it
and it's it's so much fun. And again, a lot
of people.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
There's a lot of famous people.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I mean, I've heard before my time there, recent time
still before I went there, but I heard.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
MGK was there. We had who's that who's the comedian
from Omaha? What's his name?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, no, younger guy Adam something. Yeah, yeah, he's from
Omaha and he even, uh, he's been in before. I've
I've seen pictures of people with him before. There's there's
a lot of different people. Mark Wahlberg was at Spaghetti
Works I think a few times from what I've heard
there's a lot of famous people come there because even
when they come to Omaha, they realize Omaha is a
(15:03):
staple and they have to I mean, Steady works as
a staple and Omaha and they have to stop there.
And it's always really fun for the employees. They love,
they love when those people come in. We just had
another comedian last week. I don't the name's not coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I read it.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh, I read it was Ghazi Nate Bergazi because he
just did a show down there.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Did he?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, it could have been him, I was I was
reading fast. But it sounds like a lot of employees
were taking pictures with them.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
So well. I only bring that up just to just
to spotlight how spectacular, how lucky we are to have
something like the Old Market.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You haven't been there in that.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Location long enough to be there for the College World series.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
No, well, I worked.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I worked at a couple of years ago, and it
is it is busy down there. I mean it's it's busy,
but manageable people. I mean, people still get around town
pretty well.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I I went.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
I not only did I work in the Old Market
location a couple of years ago for College World series,
but I also go down there for the College World Series. Reason,
you can still get around town pretty quick. You can
still get in places. Every place I went to eat
and drink cat I mean there was no wait Getty Works.
I did stop at Spaghetti Works, and I work there,
and I do eat the food still with how long
I've worked there, I do eat it all the time.
(16:06):
And we stopped in to eat there and there was
there was no way. We sat on the patio, we
enjoyed the weather, and then went back down to the
College World Series. And I mean it is very busy
and there's a lot of people from different towns, but
I mean it works, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And I hope people are taking notes that, yeah, we've
got a big event coming up this week and we'll
talk about it in one a second. But I hope
you're taking notes that even when there is a big
event like the CWS, even when there's a big event,
you can get into the Spaghetti Works and you can
sit down with the whole family. Look, it's expensive to
go to a baseball game, right it is.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I mean I don't know what the prices.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And it's also hot, and it's hot, come in and
enjoy the air. Condition, get something to drink and relax
and get off the concrete, and we do see the
crowds kind of pick up after that initial you know,
the festivities are fun and the ballpark is great. But
we usually have teams that come in and we've had
teams signed menus for years, so that's.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Always we have I think about twenty menus hanging up
in the office from the teams that have signed. Yeah,
and every year it gets a little it gets a
little longer.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And we can't not we can't get away from the
interior of Spaghetti works until we talk about that salad bar.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Because that salad bar.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Is what do you do?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Do you sprinkle magic on it?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You would think you know it. It's a hard thing
to maintain. We have great employees who do a wonderful
job of that, and that was actually a conversation during
COVID of what do you do with a salad bar
when everybody's touching it? And we basically went to having
people creating the salads to your order as we because
we couldn't do away with the salad bar. It is magical.
So to take that truck and not have it, or
(17:41):
just to try and make salads somewhere else. It ruined
the whole experience. So we kept it going and we
did it all the way through, so you know, I
those trucks are just amazing. I think the size of
them holds so many really fun I was with somebody
this weekend that was eating there that we have a
new corn rel salad and she was so impressed. You've
(18:02):
never had it before. And it's like, you know, there's
just little things you find there and it.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Is very good.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It is. Everybody loves.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
The trucks are too, and the trucks are engines and everything.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well, it's amazing to me that you're going to eat
spaghetti and you're coming out here telling me about the
salad bar. That's that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
The number of people that come that actually come for
the saladbar. They eat nothing but salad bar and that's
all they want. They want the solo salad bar. And
it's like, okay, that's we accommodate that too. It's great.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Let's talk about the event coming up this weekend from
noon until two, and of course you want to thank
the sponsors, Homers, Hollywood Candy, and Spaghetti Works. Grinch is
going to be there. The prize wheel is going to
be there where you could win prizes to see Avatar,
Fire and Ash at B and B Theater at Oakview.
What do you want people to know about spaghetti works?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Just so we're there for the families again, we're we're
there for all the groups and all the history and
all of the but you've got to come down to
the Old Market, have a have a day, have an evening,
have come in and join us. Like I said, the
tree is lit that the lights are up. We're inside
and out, so we have lights inside as well as outside,
and everybody there is just everybody's in a good mood.
(19:12):
It's holidays. There's lights and how can you not be
happy when you have lights. I mean, that's just it's
beautiful down there, and I think that's what everybody coming in.
It's affordable. You that have large groups coming in because
you know, don't feed them at your house. It's way
too much work. Rice, join us.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Let us do it for those dishes and it's still
affordable and fast.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So it is and we do it for you and
that's the greatest part. We do all the clean up.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I mean, come on, I did Thanksgiving for the first
time on my own this year, and I realized how
much of a pain that.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Was for four people. So I can't imagine more than that.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's right. Bring those groups. We're not open Christmas and
Christmas Eve, but every other day we're open. Bring them down.
Let us take that family load off you. It's a
lot more fun pleasure. Get to sit and enjoy your family.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Exactly, and that's what it's all about, specially Christmas. Absolutely
got to spend time with the family. And well, you're
also out at the Ralston or you were out at
Ralston it was yep, and now you've moved to the
Old Market. Tell me a little bit about Ralston Spagetty works.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
It is a little different. Ralston is very neighborhood oriented.
They you know, Old Market has their regulars, but Ralston
has a tremendous amount of people who are a lot
more frequent flyers.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I mean, we get people.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I started recognizing people by their name, and when you
can start doing that as a manager, even who doesn't
you know, interact with tables the whole you know, the
whole experience, even when I'm just talking to them for
a little bit. If I can recognize people's names. That
tells you how much they come in. And it's become
a tradition even there for people who live in that area,
not even just that area, but it's a thing.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We have numerous groups.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
We have one group that will come and they'll see
Christmas carols in the party room right before Christmas and
it's wonderful. And everyone else they all bring their families
down to that location too, and they have plenty of
room for the large groups too. They have very large
restaurant there too that where they can take all those
people in and it is very very are you busy
there on the holiday season? Not too busy that they
can't get people in it. It works perfectly there. But
(21:06):
the whole neighborhood seems to show up every day around
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So well. Spaghetti works in the old market. You have
gone through the let's see, you've gone through riots in
Omaha back in the seventies, the gas crisis in the
late seventies, you've gone through the crazy eighties and then
COVID and you are still there and we do not
want to lose you.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We appreciate that. Yeah, we cannot, we cannot.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
You guys just like I said, take notes, it's affordable.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You love it. You know you love it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
You've been there, and now if you've just moved to
Omaha and you're thinking, what are these people talking of
about as spaghetti works? I thought they made noodles in there.
I didn't know what they did. You got to come
down and try this food. It is amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, and we're more than just pasta.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
We have so much more than that. So I mean sandwiches,
Pete says, you know the salad bar, I mean garlic,
the magic salad bar. I mean some of our desserts
are delicious. They're dangerous. It's very dangerous to work there
sometimes with the with the desserts we have. I mean,
we have everything. So I mean come in and it's affordable.
That's that's the thing that's hard to come by these days.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
So are you going to be there on Saturday?
Speaker 3 (22:16):
I will be there all day Saturday, Shelley, you're going.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
To be there on Saturday?
Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yes, all right, Well we're going to be there too
on Saturday from noon till two. Santa Grynch and oh
in missus clause of course. Oh yes, And I think
I think Homers will come down and talk to us
for a while too, and Hollywood Candy of course, Aaron
over there. So this is where you want to be
on Saturday from noon until two.
Speaker 3 (22:39):
It's going to be a beautiful day.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Spaghetti Works at eleventh and Howard. And it's got a name, Will,
what's it called.
Speaker 3 (22:46):
It's the Old Market Mingle, Jingle Mingle and Jingle.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I love that.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
Did you come up with that?
Speaker 3 (22:52):
I did it. I did all with my brain. No
outside sources.
Speaker 2 (22:56):
Nope, he came up with that all on his own.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Final words about Getty Works, what do you want to
tell folks.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Just like we said, come on down, let us take
your families, let us take care of you for a change. Relax,
have a good time, enjoy your family, and come join
us for the meal. Excellent.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
Well, Shelley Stokes, President, Willstock general Manager, Thank you both
so much for being here today.
Speaker 3 (23:17):
Thankk you.
Speaker 2 (23:18):
We appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (23:19):
I'll see you guys Saturday.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
See the
Hi, It's Lucy Chapman, and thanks for joining me again
for another years more. And I'm going to learn some
stuff about your city, your city of Omaha, some stuff.
But we're talking about Spaghetti Works today in the Old Market,
and I've got Shelley Stokes here, president and Will Stock here,
general manager of Spaghetti Works in the Old Market. Welcome
to both of you.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Thank you, thank you. We're going to talk.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
You get a big event going on this Saturday. It
had been moved, it was earlier, Shelley.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
What happened? We got hit with snow. We live in
the Midwest. We can never predict what's going to happen,
and it fell on Small Business Saturday and pretty well
shut the event down. We couldn't have Santa Claus standing
out in the snow. So we moved it to this weekend,
the twentieth and changed its name.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
That was the same weekend of the Holiday Lights too.
Did that go on the Holiday Lights? Did they moved
it to Sunday?
Speaker 2 (00:49):
Oh? Okaying, everything shifted absolutely. Well.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We're going to talk about the event that you've got
coming up this weekend. It's Jingle and Mingle and it's
going to be spectacular. We've been down there before. This
is not your first time of doing the Old Market
and the holidays and just celebrating the city of Omaha
and Christmas.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
All the Christmas lights are up. That's usually why we
do small business Saturdays. Bring everybody down to see the
Christmas lights come down in the afternoon with your family.
We always have you, of course, are always there. We've
got prizes, we've got Santa Claus this year, we've got
the old sleigh up on the dock. All the things
that we do. You're right, we've done it now. I
(01:33):
think we're on our fourth or fifth year of doing this.
Always a lot of fun with always fun.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
And will you are general manager of the Old Market
Spaghetti Works? Yes, how are you been there?
Speaker 3 (01:44):
Well with the company almost seven years.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
I've only been in the Old Market for about six
months now, six months maybe seven.
Speaker 1 (01:50):
Yeah, And it's the best place ever to work.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Oh, I love it. I love downtown Live.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
So you've got to have just thousands of repeat dying
because once you come to the Sphetti Works, maybe for
the first time they come back.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
We get people who have never been there before. Still,
but a lot of the people who come in still
are repeat people who have been there forever. I mean,
we just had a table that was in yesterday that
was in from Lincoln. They come twice a year. They
come to Omaha twice a year and every time they
come down to the Old Market. So I mean we
have people who who are in Omaha who come all
the time. But we have people from I mean the
different states. Even I have people from Des Moines that
(02:28):
come from when there's a Spaetty works there. We have
people from Kansas City that come to visit or for
tournaments and sports events. They come, they come all the
way and then just make sure they have to stop
at Spagetty Works. I mean we get them all.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
And you know, Shelley, it might sound like, well why
are you talking about do you know people come into
spaghetti works over and over again. I think it's really
important to really push the point that small town or
small business owners and when I say small you have
two locations correct, in Ralston and in the Old Market,
but to patronized to continue to support small business, especially
(03:03):
home grown restaurants, because we've lost a lot of them.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
We have in the last few years, especially after COVID.
You know, I think the important part of that is
it is a small business thing and that's part of
what this Saturday was supposed to have been. And now
we're just moving it. But we've been doing this for
fifty years. The other thing that you have to remember
is sometimes we have to tap people on the shoulder
to let them know that we're still here and it's
still a lot of fun, and we've got the big
Christmas tree, and we can accommodate these large parties, and
(03:30):
those are the things that I think people forget sometimes
over time when you've been around this long. So we
do this every year to kind of tap everybody on
the shoulder and make sure they remember. Like Will said,
we're on our fourth or fifth generation of people that
we've had, people that have been engaged, married, They came
in school, their parents brought them. Now they grant. Those
people are grandparents and they're bringing grandchildren. It's it's pretty amazing.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
Well, it's an iconic place in the Old Market. It's
literally iconic. You've been there for over fifty years. Everybody
knows the dock, everybody knows the corner that you're on,
and they have to go to spaghetti works because it
is just amazing the food is so good.
Speaker 2 (04:09):
Thank you. We appreciate that, and we do try to
do just that. But and I think too part of
it is that corner is probably one of the most
photograph corners in the city. And it's because it's right
there in the middle of the Old Market. And now
with the holiday lights up, it's just beautiful. I mean,
the snowflakes are out, the trees are all lit, We've
got the reindeer. Even our own dock has lights, and
(04:31):
we have one of our employees comes in every year
and does our Christmas tree, which is seven feet tall
in the building. Again, with those ceilings, you got to
have a really tall tree, right right. Well, the event is,
it couldn't be at a better time. And I know
that we come down in the summertime too and hang
out with you guys. But at Christmas, there's just no
place like Christmas in Nebraska, in Omaha, like the Old Market.
Speaker 4 (04:54):
No.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
I think that's the thing is. It's not just even
about spaghetti works, it's also about the Old Market. You
can't come somewhere and find those unique stores anywhere else.
Everything in the Old Market is unable to be found
in most of the rest of the city, and so
that's what's really cool about it. You can see the
Christmas Shop, which has been around for almost as long
as Spaghetti Works has. You know, there's two candy shops,
(05:17):
there is a made in Omaha shop. Now there is
clothing and you know, you have to get out of
those cars and walk around. And I know it's a
little chilly this time of year, but it's all so
beautiful that you have to get out and walk. You
can't drive through it, you got to walk it and
see it all. Well, let's talk about that event. We've
got Grinch coming Santa Claus, as you mentioned, is Missus
(05:39):
Claws going to be able to join him this year?
Missus Claus will. They will both be out on the dock.
We've pulled in some nice comfy chairs so that we
can make sure they have a good place to sit.
But they're going to be outside unless it gets way
too cold and then we'll move them inside. But yes,
and the Grinch this year is with them.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
That is fantastic. But Homers and Hollywood Candy, as you
mentioned the candy stores, Homers and Hollywood Candy have really
helped to make this happen as well.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
They have Homers and Hollywood Candy every year are part
of the sponsorship of this. And yes, if you've never
been to Hollywood Candy, it is actually some of the
wildest candy that you've known from your childhood that you
can't ever find anywhere else, along with a bunch of
other things. It is an event to be seen to
go through there. And then of course Homers is records
(06:20):
and they've been there, oh fifty I think they're fifty
two years.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Actually longer than I've been alive, but no, not quite.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's absolutely amazing to go through there and want and
see the albums and the collections that they have and
all of the things that they They still sell tickets
to things, and it's a pretty amazing. Again, that's part
of the old market experience. You don't just walk by
Hollywood Candy or Homers. You have to get in the door,
you have to see it.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Well, Hollywood Candy is almost like a museum.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It truly is. It truly is. They're arcade now and
they're candy store, and the candy store is like the
old time convenience store on steroids. I think candy that
you've not seen in years. Somehow they have it, so
I know my kids are always big into the pop
rocks at the time. That is the only place in
(07:10):
the world that still has pop rocks.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There's a place in Colorado that makes chocolate bars with
pop rocks on top of them hot like jalapeno or
something wow crazy.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
And for those who have never experienced a pop rock,
you've got to get down there and buy.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Something exactly, you know. And I wanted to touch on
something that you had said that. It's that Homer's has
been there and you can see so much and it's
almost like a museum. At Hollywood Candy. You can get
your Christmas shopping done. In the old Market, you can go.
They've got clothing stores, they've got places to buy brand
new things at all of the stores. But this is
(07:44):
a place where you can go when you've got somebody
on your list. It's like, you know what, I don't know,
I give up because you'll find something there within those shops,
those small business shops. Some of the you mentioned maiden
omahah just new to me. I had not heard about that,
not by there now.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Yep. If you're looking for something for somebody that you
can't buy in a regular store, you're looking for something unique.
There's not a store in that old market that will
not give you that. Like you said, I've gone into
the maid in Omaha store because everything there, from granola
to soup mixes to shirts are all made here locally.
(08:23):
Imaginarium is another great store. I'm probably missing some of
the retailers that are down there, but Imaginarium is. If
you're looking for something unique, you will find it in Imaginarium.
And I can't even describe because there's so many things
in there, but we've been in there and found just
the wildest things. A Harry Potter box one year made
out of wood that somebody they'd found, and this was
(08:45):
it was a perfect gift. You couldn't find it anywhere.
You couldn't even order it from Amazon if you wanted to,
it didn't Amazon. So again, it's all unique. And that's
why those hard people that you have to shop for
that you don't know and they don't need a lot
of things, you'll find something fun down there for.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
And we can't leave that topic without at least mentioning
Joe's Antiques because I walk in there. Every time I
walk in there and I just laugh, not because I'm
laughing at them, but I'm just laughing at the absolute
nothing is.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Where you think it's should be.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
But I have found some amazing things down there. Collectibles.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
This is where the fun shopping comes out, because you're
not shopping for that particular red sweater or that certain
thing to hang on the wall. It is really you
have to spend your time just wandering and looking and
thinking about the people you're buying for because there's nothing
there that will be on their list. It just can't be.
And again, as we said, even Hollywood Candy just going
(09:41):
in and creating a little basket out of what they
have to offer of fun candies that you've not seen
in a long time. It's unique gifts. And I think
that's where sometimes we get caught up and what do
you want? And the Amazon list gets big, and this
is the unique stuff. This is the stuff you don't
find anywhere else. This is the stuff that you will
see and go, oh, they will love this. They couldn't
(10:02):
get it anywhere else.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
How do you like all the new park and all
of the new things going on, and that the old
market is changing for the better, for the better, but
it is changing. What do you think about all that?
Speaker 2 (10:13):
I think we doubted the park in the beginning. We
really did. Weren't sure what was going to happen with that,
and that has been They have done a phenomenal job
of activating that park and bringing in events and concerts
and uh there for a while they had camels on Wednesday,
which was hump Day camels. They brought camels. You didn't
see the camels. No, yes, they had camels. I don't
think you could ride them, but they were for the kids.
(10:34):
They have all kinds of kids activities in the summer.
I mean, they've really activated this park and now you
can just come down and see the lights. But yeah,
they brought oh, camels, They've done Sunday is yacht Day
and so they have model yachts that go out on
the on the water and they remote control of them.
So lots of fun things, which adds to just more
people down there, and it just it's so fun to
(10:57):
people watch again, and we've got one of the corners
for it. So you come down, you people watch because
there's just all kinds of people down there and they're
all there, they're enjoying the atmosphere, they're having fun. It's
if you absolutely can't find your gift. I guess gift
cards work too, and there's plenty of unique places for
those too, so that works.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
You know all of the the activities that are down
there that are bringing families down, and we'll ask you
about this. This is a place where you can spend
the day in the park. You know, maybe maybe it's
a little cold right now to spend the whole day
in the park, but you know, the park's open all year.
But you can bring your whole family, spend the day
in that beautiful park and then head over to spaghetti
(11:34):
works and you can feed the whole family affordably, right.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
I mean, I feel like the Old Market is a
day long adventure. It's it's not a five to ten
minute trip. I mean, you go down there, you're you,
like Shelley said, you have to walk around.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
You can't. You can't drive from Storre to store. I mean,
I guess you could. I don't. I don't see why
you want to do that, But you miss the experience.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Right, I mean you have blocks to walk in different stores,
and like she said, they're all so different inside they
all have so many different things, and not to mention
just walking inside the stores, you get outside. You see
all the lights lit up. I mean, you see, you
see a part of town that doesn't look like anything else.
You see the streets all made a brick. I mean,
the buildings are all so old and and and historic
and they look very very cool. I was outside Friday
(12:15):
night and with the snow falling, seeing all those Christmas
decorations and the and the brick.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
It just it was a scene.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
And like even me, who works down there all the time,
had to like stop and look at it. I took
a couple of pictures on my phone. I was like,
I've never like realized how beautiful it is down there.
And then not to mention, you have all the stores
to go in, and then at the end you have
places to eat like spaghetti works, and and that is
nice about us. We are we are pretty affordable. So
let's say you spend a little too much money on
those people you're trying to get gifts for you, you
(12:40):
can still go out to eat not break your wallet,
you know, I mean, you can make a whole day
for the whole family and make some accomplishments with gift shopping.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
So you know, and I really forgot because they updated
that that skating rink just got reopened up to leave
here just in the last week or so and it's
all been updated, so now it's to be you can
ice skate even when it's a little warmer out, so
again people who just need to bundle up, and you've
got ice skating and a play park and it's amazing
(13:10):
what they've put in that park.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
And I think this weekend is going to be the
perfect weekend. I think I saw it supposed to be
above freezing even and after that, after seeing how many
people were out and about this past weekend with how
cold it was, I mean, you can walk around this
weekend and I'm sure it'd be beautiful compared to how it
just was, so I mean, I mean this is the
perfect weather to do that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I think, you know, speaking about walking around and just
people watching, you're on that perfect corner. And let's talk
about just briefly, because I know you got stories. Let's
talk about the celebrity sightings.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I know you've seen them.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Who was that was? That was just there?
Speaker 4 (13:46):
We had a Nick Jonas just walked by Spaghetty works
Nick Jonas when he was here. What the Jonas brothers
were out and about and then who do we gosh,
we just had another one.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Who was it?
Speaker 2 (13:57):
I don't remember who that was. The funny thing is
they just show up. You don't know they're coming, right,
and so suddenly they'll show up and everyone buzzes because
when you see them in spaghetti works, do you know
that that's them? Or do you not know that's them?
And so in the context exactly, so everybody's whispering and
everybody wants to know. And yeah, we've had well and
(14:17):
actually one of the George Clooney films was filmed right
outside of our building and it's exciting to see it
and it's it's so much fun. And again, a lot
of people.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
There's a lot of famous people.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
I mean, I've heard before my time there, recent time
still before I went there, but I heard.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
MGK was there. We had who's that who's the comedian
from Omaha? What's his name?
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well, no, younger guy Adam something. Yeah, yeah, he's from
Omaha and he even, uh, he's been in before. I've
I've seen pictures of people with him before. There's there's
a lot of different people. Mark Wahlberg was at Spaghetti
Works I think a few times from what I've heard
there's a lot of famous people come there because even
when they come to Omaha, they realize Omaha is a
(15:03):
staple and they have to I mean, Steady works as
a staple and Omaha and they have to stop there.
And it's always really fun for the employees. They love,
they love when those people come in. We just had
another comedian last week. I don't the name's not coming up.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I read it.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Oh, I read it was Ghazi Nate Bergazi because he
just did a show down there.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Did he?
Speaker 4 (15:18):
Okay, it could have been him, I was I was
reading fast. But it sounds like a lot of employees
were taking pictures with them.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
So well. I only bring that up just to just
to spotlight how spectacular, how lucky we are to have
something like the Old Market.
Speaker 2 (15:30):
You haven't been there in that.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Location long enough to be there for the College World series.
Speaker 3 (15:36):
No, well, I worked.
Speaker 4 (15:38):
I worked at a couple of years ago, and it
is it is busy down there. I mean it's it's busy,
but manageable people. I mean, people still get around town
pretty well.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I I went.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
I not only did I work in the Old Market
location a couple of years ago for College World series,
but I also go down there for the College World Series. Reason,
you can still get around town pretty quick. You can
still get in places. Every place I went to eat
and drink cat I mean there was no wait Getty Works.
I did stop at Spaghetti Works, and I work there,
and I do eat the food still with how long
I've worked there, I do eat it all the time.
(16:06):
And we stopped in to eat there and there was
there was no way. We sat on the patio, we
enjoyed the weather, and then went back down to the
College World Series. And I mean it is very busy
and there's a lot of people from different towns, but
I mean it works, you know.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
And I hope people are taking notes that, yeah, we've
got a big event coming up this week and we'll
talk about it in one a second. But I hope
you're taking notes that even when there is a big
event like the CWS, even when there's a big event,
you can get into the Spaghetti Works and you can
sit down with the whole family. Look, it's expensive to
go to a baseball game, right it is.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
I mean I don't know what the prices.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
And it's also hot, and it's hot, come in and
enjoy the air. Condition, get something to drink and relax
and get off the concrete, and we do see the
crowds kind of pick up after that initial you know,
the festivities are fun and the ballpark is great. But
we usually have teams that come in and we've had
teams signed menus for years, so that's.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
Always we have I think about twenty menus hanging up
in the office from the teams that have signed. Yeah,
and every year it gets a little it gets a
little longer.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
And we can't not we can't get away from the
interior of Spaghetti works until we talk about that salad bar.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Because that salad bar.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Is what do you do?
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Do you sprinkle magic on it?
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You would think you know it. It's a hard thing
to maintain. We have great employees who do a wonderful
job of that, and that was actually a conversation during
COVID of what do you do with a salad bar
when everybody's touching it? And we basically went to having
people creating the salads to your order as we because
we couldn't do away with the salad bar. It is magical.
So to take that truck and not have it, or
(17:41):
just to try and make salads somewhere else. It ruined
the whole experience. So we kept it going and we
did it all the way through, so you know, I
those trucks are just amazing. I think the size of
them holds so many really fun I was with somebody
this weekend that was eating there that we have a
new corn rel salad and she was so impressed. You've
(18:02):
never had it before. And it's like, you know, there's
just little things you find there and it.
Speaker 3 (18:06):
Is very good.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It is. Everybody loves.
Speaker 3 (18:08):
The trucks are too, and the trucks are engines and everything.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Well, it's amazing to me that you're going to eat
spaghetti and you're coming out here telling me about the
salad bar. That's that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
I love it.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
The number of people that come that actually come for
the saladbar. They eat nothing but salad bar and that's
all they want. They want the solo salad bar. And
it's like, okay, that's we accommodate that too. It's great.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
Let's talk about the event coming up this weekend from
noon until two, and of course you want to thank
the sponsors, Homers, Hollywood Candy, and Spaghetti Works. Grinch is
going to be there. The prize wheel is going to
be there where you could win prizes to see Avatar,
Fire and Ash at B and B Theater at Oakview.
What do you want people to know about spaghetti works?
Speaker 2 (18:50):
Just so we're there for the families again, we're we're
there for all the groups and all the history and
all of the but you've got to come down to
the Old Market, have a have a day, have an evening,
have come in and join us. Like I said, the
tree is lit that the lights are up. We're inside
and out, so we have lights inside as well as outside,
and everybody there is just everybody's in a good mood.
(19:12):
It's holidays. There's lights and how can you not be
happy when you have lights. I mean, that's just it's
beautiful down there, and I think that's what everybody coming in.
It's affordable. You that have large groups coming in because
you know, don't feed them at your house. It's way
too much work. Rice, join us.
Speaker 4 (19:29):
Let us do it for those dishes and it's still
affordable and fast.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
So it is and we do it for you and
that's the greatest part. We do all the clean up.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I mean, come on, I did Thanksgiving for the first
time on my own this year, and I realized how
much of a pain that.
Speaker 3 (19:43):
Was for four people. So I can't imagine more than that.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Exactly.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's right. Bring those groups. We're not open Christmas and
Christmas Eve, but every other day we're open. Bring them down.
Let us take that family load off you. It's a
lot more fun pleasure. Get to sit and enjoy your family.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Exactly, and that's what it's all about, specially Christmas. Absolutely
got to spend time with the family. And well, you're
also out at the Ralston or you were out at
Ralston it was yep, and now you've moved to the
Old Market. Tell me a little bit about Ralston Spagetty works.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
It is a little different. Ralston is very neighborhood oriented.
They you know, Old Market has their regulars, but Ralston
has a tremendous amount of people who are a lot
more frequent flyers.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
I mean, we get people.
Speaker 4 (20:21):
I started recognizing people by their name, and when you
can start doing that as a manager, even who doesn't
you know, interact with tables the whole you know, the
whole experience, even when I'm just talking to them for
a little bit. If I can recognize people's names. That
tells you how much they come in. And it's become
a tradition even there for people who live in that area,
not even just that area, but it's a thing.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
We have numerous groups.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
We have one group that will come and they'll see
Christmas carols in the party room right before Christmas and
it's wonderful. And everyone else they all bring their families
down to that location too, and they have plenty of
room for the large groups too. They have very large
restaurant there too that where they can take all those
people in and it is very very are you busy
there on the holiday season? Not too busy that they
can't get people in it. It works perfectly there. But
(21:06):
the whole neighborhood seems to show up every day around
the holidays.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
So well. Spaghetti works in the old market. You have
gone through the let's see, you've gone through riots in
Omaha back in the seventies, the gas crisis in the
late seventies, you've gone through the crazy eighties and then
COVID and you are still there and we do not
want to lose you.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
We appreciate that. Yeah, we cannot, we cannot.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
You guys just like I said, take notes, it's affordable.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
You love it. You know you love it.
Speaker 1 (21:39):
You've been there, and now if you've just moved to
Omaha and you're thinking, what are these people talking of
about as spaghetti works? I thought they made noodles in there.
I didn't know what they did. You got to come
down and try this food. It is amazing.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
Well, and we're more than just pasta.
Speaker 4 (21:52):
We have so much more than that. So I mean sandwiches,
Pete says, you know the salad bar, I mean garlic,
the magic salad bar. I mean some of our desserts
are delicious. They're dangerous. It's very dangerous to work there
sometimes with the with the desserts we have. I mean,
we have everything. So I mean come in and it's affordable.
That's that's the thing that's hard to come by these days.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
