Butcher shop Rivelsrud Bergen put down after 101 years in business – Dagens Næringsliv

It is a traditional business which now closes its doors. The company, which was named Rivelsrud & amp; Co. in 1915, started as a bold trade shop run by Guttorm Rivelsrud uncle L. Guttormsen already in the 1890s. Today’s store manager Ivar Arnt Rivelsrud has run the store since 1981, and butcher shop is the only one in the old meat bazaar halls that survived the attempt to create a food hall for Bergen in the building. Five years ago was Rivelsrud named Bergens best fresh food counter.

But now the good times over. There is no shortage simply on customers who want to defy congestion charging, parking fees and walking distance to obtain delicacies, beef jerky and grouse.

– It’s crap pity that more and more of specialty shops disappear, they will not be replaced by good dagligavarebutikker, they just disappear, says Christopher Håtuft chef of Lysverket restaurant in Bergen. He says he “always” acted there, but because he in recent years has run his own restaurant, he has also been among the lost customers.

– We have noticed that people are saying that there is increased interest in specialty shops but we have not noticed it. I know other specialty shops are struggling, it is hard to operate, says Ivar Arnt Rivelsrud, who moves to a new job in the meat firm Brakstad Eftf.

The other staff, totaling about six-years, must also find new jobs.

– Our task now is to maintain an environment so fish shop gets colleagues who can still contribute to draw food customers to Meat Bazaar, says Fredrik Isdal in Meat Bazaar Village Bazaar as to Bergens Tidende.
