New dairy
store opens
From Staff Reports
The University of Nebraska-Lin
coln Dairy Store has a new home on
East Campus.
The new store is located in the
recently completed Food Industry
Complex on East Campus, just north
of 38th and Holdrege streets. The
store is larger than the previous one.
Visitors to the new store can watch
ice cream and cheese-making from
the observation corridor on the south
side of the dairy plant. The ice cream
production at the new plant will begin
in September and other operations
will be phased in later, said Dan
Neumeister, associate director of
UNL’s Food Processing Center.
UNL’s first retail store, creamery
and dairy processing plant opened in
1916 in the then-new Dairy Industry
Hall, now called H.C. Filley Hall.
Over the years, the store has pro
duced cottage cheese, buttermilk,
butter, cream and milk, as well as ice
cream, cheese and yogurt. At one
time, the dairy store furnished dairy
products for all UNL residence halls
and cafeterias.
The dairy store provides hands-on
experience for students in food pro
duction and sales as well as facilities
for dairy product research.
Generations of dairy and food sci
ence students got started in the busi
ness while working at the store,
which is a self-supporting operation.
M. (Zim) Znamenacek, who has
managed the dairy store and plant for
most of his 26 years as the only non
student employee, said as far as he
knows, UNL is the only university
that relies almost totally on student
employees to make dairy products.
Students not only dip the ice
cream, but often invent flavors, he
said. He said the store has made about
250 types of ice cream in the past 10
years.
The dairy plant was housed in the
Animal Science Complex during
construction of the Food Industry
Complex. The dairy store temporar
ily has been housed in the Nebraska
and East unions during construction.
The East Campus store will re
main open as long as there is a dem
onstrated need, Neumeister said. The
Nebraskan Union store will be closed
and evaluated in January.
Hours at the new store are: Mon
day through Friday 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.;
Saturday, 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., and
Sunday 1 to 10 p.m.
