Fredenberg Minno-ette History

1950

The Fredenberg Minno-ette was established in 1950 by Edward and Esther Bisiar as a small 10’x10’ bait shop.

1955

In 1955, Harold and Dorothy Opland purchased the bait shop. While they were owners, they added fuel pumps, additional floor space, and a garage large enough for a school bus.

1969

Don and Donna Pelofski purchased the Minno-ette in 1969. They further expanded the floor space for bait tanks and tackle, and a large attached garage for a school bus.

1979

Eric and Nancy Hoglund became the new owners of the Minno-ette in 1979. They made extensive improvements with an addition for grocery and convenience, transformed the garage into a public laundromat and restroom, and added a new canopy and gas island for their customers.

1985

In 1985, the Minno-ette was purchased by Art and Delaine Carlson and their daughter and son-in-law, Julie and Scott Youngstrom. During their ownership, the laundromat was converted into floor space for further expansion of sporting goods products.

2020

Jason and Briana Manning purchased the Fredenberg Minno-ette in 2020. Stay tuned for what is yet to come!
