Jennifer Zhang of JZW, Omaha Prime and Nebraska Prime Co., LLC Acquires Tussey's Casual Grill
Omaha, NE, Oct. 16, 2025 - Jennifer Zhang, entrepreneur and long-time Nebraskan originally from Shanghai, China, has acquired Tussey's Casual Grill from owners Catherine McCarthy Tussey and Chef Mark Tussey, who have owned and operated the restaurant since 2008.
After completing the transaction, Chef Tussey shared, "We're very happy to pass the torch to Jennifer and her team. They bring a shared commitment to quality and service, and we're confident Tussey's will continue to thrive under their leadership."
Known for its high-quality fast casual dining, Tussey's has been a cherished part of the Omaha community for nearly 20 years. The restaurant has built a loyal customer base through its welcoming atmosphere, diverse menu, and excellent service - earning a reputation as one of the area's most reliable and popular dining spots. With a full bar and a consistent focus on quality, Tussey's has continued to grow, attracting both long-time regulars and new patrons alike.
Chef Tussey's reputation for creative, flavorful dishes at reasonable prices has cultivated an enthusiastic following. Although nearing retirement, he will remain with the business through an extended transition period to ensure continuity, and key staff members will stay on to maintain the same high standards of food and service.
Jennifer Zhang is President of JZW International Development, LLC, an Omaha-based industry-leading supply company. She is also President of Omaha Prime, LLC, having purchased the iconic Omaha Prime Steakhouse in the historic Old Market in 2022, and recently established Nebraska Prime Co, LLC which will do business as Tussey's Casual Grill. Zhang plans to preserve Tussey's long-standing tradition of quality dining and service while introducing fresh ideas to enhance the guest experience.
"I've always admired Tussey's reputation," said Zhang. "After dining there and meeting with Chef Tussey and his team, I knew this was a perfect fit. We're excited to build on the foundation the Tusseys created and continue serving the community with the same dedication and warmth that have made Tussey's special."
The transaction was facilitated by John Fullerton of Transworld Business Advisors.
