Due to a nightmare parking scenario during Nordic Fest this year, I am encouraging frequent customers and other folks to place orders by phone (have a credit card handy!) and take advantage of curbside pickup. Just call in during business hours, place your order and pay with a credit card then I'll gather it all up and bring it out to you when you call again and let me know you're here. You can temporarily park in front of the double white doors, at sidwalk level, here at the store. Cheers!
