Everyday essentials
The grocery store is from the time before the big supermarkets. A time when people shopped locally and when you could buy everyday essentials on almost any street corner. You can explore original packaging from all kinds of products from the 1930s.- 1950s.
Volunteer merchants
This charming oasis is staffed on selected days by retired merchants and volunteer enthusiasts who will take you back to a time when these small shops were the pulse of the community. It is possible to buy goods in the shop when it is manned. Let yourself be tempted by freshly ground coffee, Egeskov honey and ‘rusty nails’ (liquorice sweets).
The grocery store association
In collaboration with Egeskov, the Museum Committee of the Grocers' Association of Funen has set up this time warp, whose fixtures and fittings either bring back old memories or provide insight into what a grocery store looked like in the last century.
