Share Your Memories: Johnsen's Sea Foods Leaves Home of Nearly 70 Years

The Winnetka store, which moved to Elm Street in 1945, has shut its doors and plans to sell its fish from Lakeside Foods, which is across the street.

A beloved Winnetka institution, known for its old-fashioned interior, has switched up its method of business recently. Rather than selling fish out of its storefront, is now selling fish through nearby Lakeside Foods, a grocery store also in Elm Street.

While there have been bids for the ice equipment, the owners said the cash register will probably go home with them, as the Winnetka Talk reports.
