Our mission at Olsen’s is to
provide
customer satisfaction with attention to detail. We are very grateful to
all the Scandinavian people, loyal to their heritage, that support our
store
from across the United States and beyond. It is with thanks to our
customers
that we are the growing business we are today. Our store is a family
owned
and operated establishment. The owners are the Endresen sisters, Reidun
and Anita. They are from Sandeid, Norway, a small town located near
Stavanger.
They moved to Seattle almost thirty years ago and have been working at
the
Olsen's store ever since.
Olsen’s is situated in the heart
of Ballard, Washington (near the fishing harbor of Seattle). Starting
in
1880 Ballard became a prominent Scandinavian community, known
throughout
the USA and even Scandinavia. There were many fishing boats, shingle
mills,
and sawmills in this northern suburb, which was annexed into Seattle in
1907.
All of our products are carefully
selected to create a store, which looks, feels, and smells like a
typical
"forretning." In our store you can find anything from a waffle iron to
salty
black licorice. We are dedicated to providing you with only the best of
service and a wide variety of Scandinavian foods, whether they be
imported
or homemade. Also available in our store is an expanding selection of
memorabilia
and gifts from Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark. So stop by today
and
