Prairie in Bloom, founded by Lukas Rix, offers a unique blend of vintage, farmhouse- and industrial-style home decor, florals, candles, and seasonal accents, with a goal of bringing rural charm to urban spaces. Rix’s entrepreneurial journey began at 14 when he and his aunt opened a thrift store in Lyons, Nebraska, and continued with the success of “1912 Emporium” in Wayne, Nebraska, before opening Prairie in Bloom in Omaha’s NoDo district in 2018. The store’s success is rooted in its ever-changing seasonal displays, personalized virtual design consultations, and commitment to supporting local artisans, with 25% of its inventory sourced from the community. Rix is passionate about advocating for locally owned businesses, encouraging customers to shop locally to preserve the character and creativity of their communities.
