Thank you so much for all your support so far, for the private messages and donations and to all of you who have taken time out of your day to come in to Olsons with words of support and kindness. There are many questions, of course, what your donations would be used for ; In taking over the business there is an ongoing struggle and process to keep the premises up to code. Yes,it would be easier to move to a more modern location, but we really want to keep Olsons in its origi...nal location. Since we are trying to preserve its original charm we are trying to restore the original deli fridges so that we can use them again. If we can't get them up and running, they will have to be removed, and we really want to avoid that since they are a big part of Olsons heritage. We are still trying to recover from the 5 (FIVE!!) break-ins that we have had in the last 4 years. Along with stolen inventory, stolen cash registers, broken doors and destroyed store windows, we are still reeling. We are trying to get permits so that we can cook more food for our community and neighborhood, besides just sandwiches and salads. On our list is also permits, per so many of you, so that we may serve beer and wine while you eat and shop. Lastly, a small note about importing. To import food from Scandinavia is not for the faint of heart. The amount of restrictions from FDA, customs fees and transportation costs will all be reflected in the price. OF COURSE it will be more expensive to buy a Swedish or Danish item in a small store in Los Angeles than it is in your regular store "back home". Furthermore, we will never be able to compete with IKEA'S prices since they buy in millions and have their own shipping containers. We love IKEA, but we hope you would consider supporting a small business instead. Thank you for your help and support. https://www.gofundme.com/1pbht8vp1c See more

Announcing Olsons Fika Time!!! Starting next week, Tuesday the 16th our Fika menu will be available Fika is a concept, a state of mind, an attitude and an important part of Swedish culture. Many Swedes consider that it is almost essential to make time for fika every day. It means making time for friends and colleagues to share a cup of coffee (or tea) and a little something to eat. See you at Olsons ! #olsonsdeli #midcity #swedishfood #fika #cafe #deli @ Olsons Scandinavian Deli
