About

Nebraska Prep Equipment is a family-owned commercial foodservice equipment dealer located in Adams, Nebraska, strategically positioned between Omaha, Lincoln, and Kansas City to serve foodservice companies throughout the Midwest. Founded in late 2017 by Cory Hart and Jamison Wallman, the company began when the founders saw a shortage of affordable, high-quality used equipment while building their own catering kitchen. This led them to source quality used equipment from larger Midwestern markets, refurbish it back home, and sell it at fair prices to other food businesses in their region. Over time, Nebraska Prep Equipment expanded its offerings beyond just used gear. Today, the company stocks new commercial kitchen equipment—including items with manufacturer warranties and occasional scratch-and-dent units—making it a one-stop destination for affordable prep and kitchen solutions. Its inventory covers a wide range of foodservice essentials such as stainless steel prep tables, refrigeration units, cooking equipment, walk-in cooler components, and other restaurant necessities. The business prides itself on personalized service, aiming to create lasting customer relationships rather than just transactional sales. Founders bring a mix of industry experience, vendor relationships, and customer-service expertise that helps local operators get the equipment they need within budget. In addition to equipment sales, Nebraska Prep Equipment provides options like curbside delivery within a 100-mile radius, extending convenience for businesses that may not have logistics support. While serving restaurants, bars, coffee shops, and hospitality venues, the company also supports schools, hospitals, and retirement facilities—all organizations that require dependable kitchen gear without excessive cost. Its approach of combining quality products, competitive pricing, and hands-on support distinguishes it from larger online dealers and emphasizes local customer care. Nebraska Prep Equipment operates as a division of Smokin’ Hot BBQ LLC, reflecting its roots in the broader food service and catering community and the practical, customer-oriented ethos behind its business model.
