Scope and content
Olav's Family Buffet celebrated its grand opening on Tuesday, October 3, 1968. Built in a modified Colonial style with partial brick exteriors and a cupola with weathervane, Olav's Family Buffet was located at 9522 Bridgeport Way in Lakewood, part of the Lakewood Colonial Center. It was owned by Olav Carlsen, Robert L. Stein and John Duras. A special feature of the restaurant was the availability of seven dining rooms for banquets, receptions and business meetings. The carpeted and air conditioned facilities could fit from 15 to 555 people. One dining room was set aside especially for business meetings; it included a blackboard, movie screen, power podium and special lighting. Prices were kept very moderate so that everyone could afford dining at Olav's. Photograph ordered by the News Tribune. (TNT 9-25-68, A-19)
