The American Store

When I first visited the American Store at their old location, I thought it was great. But when I visited right after they moved to their new location, I was very disappointed in their product selection and variety. But before I completely wrote them off, I decided to visit them one last time, and luckily, the American Store didn’t disappoint.
The shop is owned by a very friendly Australian guy who has pretty good American taste. The Swedish locals seem to only care for their stock of Jelly Beans and the majority of the patrons seem to visit the store just out of pure curiosity but don’t let that deter you. The shop is stock full of various American brands that are difficult to find in Scandinavia. (Although, some of the bigger grocery chains in Denmark are starting to carry a few American products). The American Store has shelves of American hot sauces and barbecue sauces, in addition to American brand baking supplies, margarita mixes, salad dressings, canned goods, Pop Tarts, plus much much more. I was hoping to stock up on Frank’s Hot Sauce during my recent visit but apparently, someone bought out their whole supply earlier in the day. Oh well…
But what made me not lose faith on this place is that they started stocking Mexican foods too! I’m talking MASCECA corn flour, a plethora of Mexican hot sauces, canned refried beans, black beans, chipotle mixes, etc. My eyes nearly popped out of my head when I saw the Maseca. (Also when I got my total when I was checking out, but I figure, they have to account for the import costs, etc). But if you’re an American ex-​pat desperate for some familiar items from the homeland or need to spice up your food with some hot sauce, make the trip to the American Store.
