a little about us....

Rachel Heiser grew up in New Jersey and earned her degree in Sport Management from James Madison University. She spent over a decade building her career in commercial real estate in New York City, where she also met her husband, Nick, during his medical residency. After relocating to Omaha 11 years ago, Rachel & Nick settled in the Dundee neighborhood with her family, which includes two children, Henry & Mikaela, and their goldendoodle, Sophie. Her interest in retail and online selling began during her time working at The Mix, an uber successful small women's boutique, in Omaha, where she developed a strong foundation in the industry. Today, Rachel draws on that experience as she embarks on her next entrepreneurial venture.

 

Meghan Conway Rowen grew up in Omaha's Dundee/Happy Hollow neighborhood and studied communication at the University of Nebraska at Omaha. She gained early retail experience in Omaha and Minneapolis, later moving to New York City to pursue her passion for fashion and beauty. In NYC, she worked with celebrity makeup artist Sonia Kashuk as an executive assistant, learning the power of personal style, creativity and connection. She then went on to become a freelance stylist assistant. Now back in Omaha, with her husband, Tommy, two children, James & Magee and goldendoodle, Sparky, Meghan is excited to bring her long-time vision, Avenue Two, to life - blending style, sustainability and confidence.

 

Rachel and Meghan were introduced through family friends and quickly bonded over their shared backgrounds - both having lived in New York City and now raising children who attend the same Omaha school. During their time in NYC, they each lived off Second Avenue, a detail that inspired the name of their new venture, Avenue Two. With a mutual love for fashion, a passion for sustainability and a desire to fill a growing need in Omaha's retail scene, they set out to create a modern, community-focused consignment store. As secondhand shopping continues to gain momentum industry-wide, Rachel and Meghan are excited to bring thoughtfully curated styles to Omaha.
