Lucky Joe's Liquor Store To Open In Neligh On Friday

A new liquor store will open in Neligh just in time for the weekend.

Lucky Joe’s Liquor Store is set to open for business on Friday, May 24, according to owner Joe Lichty of Neligh.

The store is located next to Cubby’s along Highway 275 at 108 E. 2nd St.

Lucky Joe’s will offer beer, wine, liquor, ice, snacks and tobacco products, Lichty said.

In addition to selling a wide selection of Budweiser and Coors products, he said the business will feature “a lot of Nebraska products.”

“I try to carry everything no one else in town carries,” Lichty said. “And if somebody wants something special, I can order it for them.”

He has more than a decade of experience in the business after working at Cabin Bottle Shoppe in Neligh, so he decided to open his own.

“I did it for 13 years at the Bottle Shoppe, and I needed something to get me into retirement age,” Lichty said with a laugh.

He said a grand opening will likely be held later this summer.

The store will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and 1 to 5 p.m. on Sundays. Lucky Joe’s can be reached by calling 402-887-8200.
