The Erickson family opened Erickson’s Delicatessen in 1925 and owned it for over 50 years.  In 1978, Ann Marie Nilsson (an Erickson’s employee for 35 years) bought the store and has run it with her daughter, Ann-Brit, ever since.  It's small, nostalgic, and often crowded, but it sells authentic Scandanavian delicacies that are virtually impossible to find anywhere else in the city.
