Seems to be a lot of Finns up in Michigan. There are places that seem to have Finnish names, but the menus don't show a lot of Finnish content. This place apparently still does a lot of Finnish food. They don't have a website.

Apparently this neck of the woods used to be quite the Scandinavian enclave, back in the day, with a quarter million of them running around. Seems most of them moved out, taking their businesses with them, but this place hangs tough. Run by Bakkes. I know a Bakke or two. NOTE: Sadly, these folks have gone out of business.

This little shop run by Swedes has been in business a long time, since 1947. Started by a lady named Edythe Anderson, now run by Lennart Jonsson. In the same location as Cole Travel Services.
