| Scandinavian
Specialties was founded in 1962 as the Norwegian Sausage Company by Mr.
Sagland who was a trained butcher from Norway. He retired in 1980
and the store was purchased by Ruby and Herb Anderson who continued to
make Scandinavian foods available to the Scandinavian community in Seattle.
The Andersons expanded the the product line and added the mail order business
which expanded business to the entire USA.
In September 2000 the Andersons
retired and the store was purchased by Anne-Lise Berger and Ozzie Kvithammer.
They already owned an import business known as ScanSelect, Inc., so adding
the retail store was a natural expansion.
Anne-Lise and Ozzie are very
anxious to keep Scandinavian traditions alive in the US and have already
added many new products to the list of hundreds of products. |
