Select Food opening brings cheers from local residents BY DAVE DREESZEN Business Journal editor
After a nearly two-year wait, hundreds of Sioux Cityans can again shop for groceries within walking distance of their homes. Select Food Market, a new independent supermarket in the former Fareway building at 1730 Nebraska St., opens its doors April 28 to great fanfare from city leaders and local residents alike. City officials started searching for a replacement grocer months before Fareway closed its aging midtown store. The city also secured $200,000 in federal stimulus funds to help get a new operation up and running. For more than a year, city staff contacted a number of large chains and independent operators and suppliers around the region, but found no takers. Ahsan Alahi and Razda Chadhary, owners of an independent chain of Select Mart With assistance from the city, convenience stores in Sioux City Alahi and Chadhary purchased the and Omaha, eventually stepped former Fareway property, and gave forward. the 20,000-square-foot building a

Argosy Casino keeps rolling on the river Argosy Casino dealer Bob Reynolds waits at a Paigow poker table for customers in this Oct. 14, 2010 file photo. Woodbury County voters last fall renewed the Sioux City riverboat’s gambling license for another eight years.
BY BRET HAYWORTH Business Journal editor
People who enjoy plentiful Argosy Casino-Sioux City gambling options will get to participate for another eight years with the overwhelming passage of a November referendum to continue riverboat gambling in Woodbury County. The referendum received 77 percent approval, with 22,687 people voting to keep the Argosy CasinoSioux City on the riverfront. Another 6,857 people (23 percent) voted against the measure. “The vast majority of the people understand what the casino does for Woodbury County,” Kees Eder, the Argosy’s vice president and general manager, said after the affirmative vote. “I think we were able to tell the message that this was about jobs.” Eder said the casino has more than 350 jobs, with an annual

WinnaVegas begins upgrade of facilities BY BRET HAYWORTH Business Journal staff writer
SLOAN, Iowa – WinnaVegas Casino is in the midst of the biggest facilities broadening in a dozen years. In April, the casino, owned and operated by the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, marked two decades of providing gambling options, food and periodic music and comedy entertainers. Interim marketing director Deana Whistler said the casino underwent $3 million in major changes to the building exterior, along with changes to the interior with carpeting and new chairs for bingo and slot machines. The
“We felt we needed to update our property, like any good business owner does, from time to time. Even with what is happening with the (weak) economy, we have strong beliefs that the area will recover.” DEANA WHISTLER Interim marketing director exterior has a new facade to greet casino patrons. “We felt we needed to update our property, like any good business owner does, from time to time,” Whistler said in an interview earlier this year. “Even with what is happening with the (weak) economy, we have strong
beliefs that the area will recover.” The other big piece of the WinnaVegas renovations will proceed this year, when a 78room hotel will be built, with a target opening for November 2011. Business Journal photo by Tim Hynds

Argosy: Eight more years FROM PAGE 4 options beyond the current lineup. “We will do our capital expenditures, including the replacement of games as needed, and keeping the property fresh,� he said. Mayor Mike Hobart of Sioux City was pleased with the overwhelming voter support. “This is the best of fortune for the Argosy and the community,� Hobart said. The Sioux City gambling riverboat has been in operation since 1994 at 100 Larsen Park Road. The casino no longer navigates the Missouri River, however, after a state requirement to do so was removed. In Woodbury County, voters first approved riverboat gaming in 1989, by a 55-45 percent margin. In the 2002 vote, the referendum passed with a 75 percent approval. The votes are now set at eight-year intervals. Business Journal photo by Jerry Mennenga

He also noted that Missouri River Historical Development, Inc., the nonprofit group that holds the gaming license, will continue to hand out grants to nonprofit groups, area cities and the county. MRHD also built and operates the Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center/ Betty Strong Encounter Center on the riverfront with money it receives from the Argosy. The casino has more than 700 slot machines, with other gambling options in blackjack, roulette, craps, four-card poker, Mississippi stud poker and Pai-Gow Poker.

In the middle is Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman. The College Center, a partnership between Northeast and Wayne State, offers access to associate’s degrees, bachelor’s degrees and graduate degrees in a seamless system. Classes at the center began in March.
DOROTHY PECAUT NATURE CENTER 4500 SIOUX RIVER ROAD Siouxland Chamber Ambassadors look on as Theresa Kruid of the Dorothy Pecaut Nature Center, Brian Spencer and Steve Gross of Cargill cut the ribbon for the grand opening of the nature center’s new Exploring Fragile Giants Exhibit in April. The exhibit renovation was funded by the culmination of numerous donations, including a $100,000 pledge from Cargill. Additional funds for the $600,000 project came from the Gilchrist Foundation, Siouxland Community Foundation, Nature Calls special event fundraisers and several other agencies. The new hands-on exhibits feature the plants, animals and geology of the Loess Hills.
To help with that transition, city staff matched the owners with Nash Finch, the nation’s second largest publicly-traded wholesale food distributor, in terms of revenue. The Minneapolis-based firm provided an array of services, including architectural design, engineering of mechanical systems, writing and letting of construction bids and marketing. Alahi and Chadhary hired veteran grocer Gregg Anderson as the director of the new Select Food Market. Anderson has 45 years experience in the industry, including stops in North Platte, Neb., and more recently, in Omaha, where he managed large supermarkets at 116th and Dodge and 156th and Q streets in Omaha.
Anderson, who had been retired for a year, accepted the challenge of starting up a store from scratch for the first time in his career. He brought in Dean Knight, a 22-year veteran of the grocery business who had worked with him in Omaha, to serve as his assistant director in the new Sioux City store. The store, which has 35 to 40 full- and part-time employees, offers fresh produce, a full-service meat counter and an array of other food, soda and beverage and household items. There are various specialty food for local ethnic populations, such as Hispanic, Asian and African. “We have something for everyone,” Alahi said.

New museum showcases Sioux City Grand opening culminates multimillion move to new, larger location BY JOHN QUINLAN Business Journal editor
Sioux City’s new public museum in the former JCPenney building features the latest high-tech tools and interactive video displays to help you take a walk through Sioux City history. Much more is on display than ever thought possible when the museum opened to the public in 1961 in its “temporary” location, the historic John Peirce Mansion on the corner of 29th and Jackson streets. A grand opening on April 23 culminated a $12.5 million project that represents an extensive public-private partnership that began in 2005. That is the year the City Council authorized purchase of the building at 607 Fourth St. and earmarked $1.5 million for the project. And as museum director Steve Hansen said, there’s just so much “cool” stuff to see, you could easily spend four hours there and still not see all there is to see. Just inside the door of the main entrance, past the expanded gift shop and the corn-flavored ticket booth (an official photo opportunity), a two-story architectural drawing of one of the city’s corn palaces greets visitors to the large two-story atrium in the southwest corner of the building near Fourth and Nebraska streets. A doorway through the corn palace takes you into the 48-seat Orientation Theater, which provides an 11-minute interactive film about what you will be seeing inside. From there, you can go left into the Native American Gallery or go right through exhibits on the Sioux City Stockyards and meatpacking industry. Along the way, you will see displays on Sioux City businesses, a variety of vintage vehicles from fire trucks to Sioux City’s first automobile, a 1901

Oldsmobile, hands-on exhibits for the kids, an iron lung, a mammoth paving machine, a log cabin relocated from the Peirce Mansion and, hanging from the ceiling, the Kari-Keen two-seater coupe that was manufactured at an aircraft plant in Leeds, one of 40-50 such planes that took to the skies in the early days of aviation. The last one rolled off the line about 1930.
The 1989 crash of United Airlines Flight 232 at Sioux Gateway Airport is but one of three calamities commemorated in the freestanding Disaster Wall. “I think this is one of the ones that will keep people talking,” Hansen said of the display that looks like a fire-gutted, threestory building about to collapse. It features an interactive slide show and four screens showing film clips
of the plane crash, the Pelletier Department Store fire of 1904 and the Floyd River flood of 1953. Technology borrowed from the Weedon Island Nature Preserve in Florida adds an all-new high-tech buzz to an interactive exhibit featuring a sliding screen presentation of the stories of either Gateway or IBP.

It sounds so cliche, but I really just think there’s enough of a variety here that regardless of your age or anything else, you’re going to find something here that interests you. STEVE HANSEN Museum director include more than 50,000 objects. Near the Attic is a tuneful exhibit devoted to “Sioux City Sue,” the song that put Sioux City on the map. The display features pushbutton versions recorded by Dick Thomas, Bing Crosby, Kate Smith, Gene Autry and Willie Nelson and Leon Russell. Hansen admits he is partial to the nearby Native American Gallery “because we haven’t
been able to show as much of this as we have in the past. And we have a rich history that we’re in a position where we can tell it now.” “I think there’s something for everybody,” the museum director said. “It sounds so cliche, but I really just think there’s enough of a variety here that regardless of your age or anything else, you’re going to find something here that interests
you. “But you’d better plan on two hours if you’re going to do it justice. Maybe four hours. But the idea is that most people won’t see it all the first time, and that’s a good reason to come back the second time.”

Powering Intelligent Networks. Powering Curious People. S Sometimes we need an incentive to explore. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what Free First Fridays is all about at the Washington Pavilion of Arts and Science. Heiberge made the drive Mary Heiberger from Beresford recently so her boys, nine-year-old Jackson and six-year-old Mason, could get their hands on the science exhibits during an affordable, fun evening.
SDN Communications provides the broadband equipment and services to make the Pavilion work. But it also gives back by assuring the Pavilion is open to all. Thanks to SDN and others, Pavilion doors open for free on the ďŹ rst Friday evening of each month. Last year more than 8,000 people experienced it.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;They love it. Absolutely love it. They could spend hours hereâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re learning at the same time,â&#x20AC;? Heiberger said. Why does SDN do it? Well, we hope the exploring inspires Jackson, Mason and others to consider a technical career somedayâ&#x20AC;Ś maybe even at SDN. o to To see the online video of SDNâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gift in use, go www.youtube.com/sdncomm
