Last Christmas

Yes, it’s true! We are officially retiring in March of 2025. The store will likely close around the 21st of March.

All good things do eventually come to an end. The staff and I are all getting up there in mileage, so we decided it was time.

We cannot express how touched and grateful we are for all of the kind and generous comments from all of our customers.

The store has, over its 40 years, developed quite a following! After 20 years with the founding owners, Victoria and Birgitte, and 20 years under the guiding hands of Michael and his sister Ilse, the store has become a Victoria institution.

Staff members Leslie, Mary, Betty and Judy have made the store their own as well, their friendly and welcoming faces familiar to customers from far and wide.

One last big Christmas!

Time to think ahead and come in for some of your Scandinavian favourites while we have supplies on hand. Our last big Danish candle order will be in by mid-October, so we will be well stocked.

Over the next six months we will be systematically clearing our inventory. As stock sells down discounts will increase, but selection will be more limited as we sell out.

Fellow retailers are welcome to come by after the holidays to see if any of the fixtures and equipment is of use. We will happily negotiate!

We thank you all for supporting local business and hope to see many of you as we take our last retail journey.

Michael
