Freddy’s Lefse has been a family-owned business since it was established in 1946. Fred and Lorraine Cox started Freddy’s Lefse after Fred had seen there was a demand for the Norwegian delicacy. They decided to develop a bakery that specialized in the making of only lefse. Freddy’s Lefse’s beginning can be traced back to their one room operation in their north Fargo home, then to a small neighborhood shop employing the local neighborhood women, followed by a newly built building they constructed behind their home in 1977, and finally to the current shop in West Fargo.
