Nelson's Grocery, Scandia Pioneer Store Leader Since 1908
Adolph Nelson founded Nelson's Grocery in Scandia, operating alone since 1909 after buying out a partner. The store, across from its original site, grew with modern upgrades and a reputation for quality products. Nelson also served as band leader, councilman, and mayor, shaping civic and business life with three staff members—Conrad Lundin, A. Ellingson, and Dale Sanderson.
