Company Info
The Marina Market is located in Historic Downtown
Poulsbo, Washington and is committed to bringing the largest selection of Scandinavian, European, and
Dutch foods to Western Puget Sound and the Internet. When questioned by Ray Miller, staff writer for
The Sun, Mossen Habbestad said, "This store has been an answer to our prayers. I miss the foods I grew up eating. They stock so many
Norwegian
foods, I can't believe it."
Jonathan and Andrea Rowe started the Marina Market in May of 1998 in response to significant local demand. The original location for the store was on the Wharf, an over 100 year-old pier, at the
Port of Poulsbo. Due to growing business, the store has been relocated to the center of downtown Poulsbo, still a mere block from the picturesque waterfront, and into a larger facility.
Now home of the Licorice Shrine with over 250
licorices, and boasting over 350 top quality
chocolates, the Marina Market has become a magnet for both the adventurous seeking new experiences and those looking for a taste of home. We pride ourselves on responding to
customer requests, researching new products and sources, and providing the best selection of import foods to our valued customers.
| Marina Market -- Greener Every Day: | |
| We recycle used cardboard boxes. Our store receives product in cardboard boxes daily and we will reuse them to ship out customer orders. This lowers the amount of cardboard we have to take to the recycling center, decreasing cardboard waste, the number of trips we make, and the fuel used to make them. So while your order may not come in a brand new box, we make every effort to ensure that the product arrives in excellent condition and we feel that reusing boxes lowers our impact on the environment. While this slightly increases our labor cost in handling boxes, we believe this is the best we can do in regards to the heaps of cardboard that flow through our business. When our volume increases beyond what we can reclaim from within our operation, we will use shipping containers made from 100% recycled material. | We
donate all un-sellable but edible foods to the North
Kitsap Food Bank, and we hope others will donate what they can to help
those in need. The
Marina Market recently upgraded all the store lighting from a mixture of
T-12 and incandescent spot lamps to all T-8 and by doing so we are now
getting more light for less energy used. We were able to accomplish this
through a team effort utilizing a retrofit grant from Puget
Sound Energy.
