A Taste of Holland
in the Heart of Utah
Quality European imports, house-made bratwurst, handcrafted marzipan, and recipes passed down through generations — served with warmth since 1978.
Family, Tradition & the Taste of Home
Since 1978, The Old Dutch Store has brought a little piece of the Netherlands to Salt Lake City! It began when Adrian and Els Groos opened their shop to give local Dutch immigrants a true taste of home. Their friend Pieter VanSchelt joined to set up the meat counter and stayed for decades, crafting his famous Bratwurst and Weisswurst.
In 2003, Pieter's daughter Sharon and her husband Glenn carried the legacy forward. Pieter made Bratwurst in-house and passed the knowledge on to his granddaughter Katie. Today, we honor that family tradition while celebrating Dutch and Northwestern European specialties, authentic flavors, and cultural events that bring our community together.
Two of our most beloved events that we participate in are Dutch King's Day (Koningsdag) on April 27, a joyful celebration of Dutch culture and community and Sinterklaas on December 5. Sinterklaas is a gift-giving holiday, and no celebration is complete without chocolate letters, which you can order in advance right through our website.
Whether you grew up with these treats or you're discovering them for the first time, we'd love to welcome you. Come on in and feel right at home!
