Brekke Fireplace Shoppe was started as Brekke Home Improvement in 1957,
as a siding and window company by Al and Arlette Brekke.
|
|
|
In the early 60's, customers were asking the
Brekkes for fireplace equipment because the nearest outlet was in Minneapolis.
Al Brekke decided to start selling fireplace equipment to meet this demand and
by 1964 the business became Brekke Fireplace Shoppe and only sold fireplace equipment.

|
The Brekkes were the first to sell Majestic and
Heatilator wood and gas fireplaces and over the years has become
known for carrying products on the cutting edge of the fireplace industry.
Brekke Fireplace Shoppe is the second oldest fireplace store in Minnesota
and has gone through many changes. Brekke Fireplace Shoppe now has 7
employees and currently sells wood and gas stoves and fireplaces along with stone
and brick veneer, ceramic tile and mantles to finish their fireplace installations.
Although the Brekkes have retired from the business, their son-in-law and
current owner, Larry Richardson and Grandson Mark Nelson
continue to carry on the tradition of quality custom
installation and above all, service and customer satisfaction.
