About Us

On or about April 6, 1901 A.M. Lerberg opened the store on the main street of the small, but growing, town of Ellendale.

"I will open up a brand new stock of Dry Goods, Groceries, Shoes, Furnishing Goods, Hats, Caps, Crockery, Etc. And I earnestly invite your inspection. I will not propose to give you a dollar's worth of goods for 50 cents, but I will give you a dollar's worth for 100 cents. I am here to stay and intend to do what is right. Give us a call. We will be glad to show our goods wheather you buy or not"

Yours for Honest Dealing,

A.M. Lerberg

The above statement was made by A.M. Lerberg in the original ad which appeared in the local newspaper "The Ellendale Eagle" in 1901.

Giving good quality, good prices and good service was what A.M. Lerberg believed in, and that philosophy still exists at Lerbergs Foods today!
