Swig Construction Begins, Base Kamp Opens in Omaha
Swig, a Utah-based chain known for customized sodas, has started construction on its first Nebraska location at 219 South 72nd Street, taking over a former Starbucks near 72nd and Dodge. Base Kamp Coffee & Wine has opened in the center court of Regency Shopping Mall, situated among Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, J.Crew, and Borsheims.
Omaha is gaining two beverage-oriented destinations. Swig, a Utah company specializing in made-to-order sodas, has begun work on its first Nebraska site at 219 South 72nd Street, in a building previously occupied by Starbucks near 72nd and Dodge. Meanwhile, Base Kamp Coffee & Wine has opened in Regency Shopping Mall’s center court, near Pottery Barn, Williams Sonoma, J.Crew, and Borsheims. The arrivals show how specialized drink concepts can appear both as standalone projects and within established retail centers.
These openings could give Omaha consumers more beverage choices and may draw foot traffic to the 72nd and Dodge area and Regency mall. Mall tenants and nearby food and drink businesses might see changed competition or cross-shopping. The effect may depend on local demand, but the additions suggest continued interest in specialized soda and coffee-and-wine concepts.
