Johansson's Restaurant in Westminster, MD
Johansson's History
Retrieved on July 21, 2015
A long time ago....during World War II, aboard the
Finland/South American Lines, David Johansson was but a gleam in Chef Birger
Johansson's eye. It may however explain young David's early desire to become a
restaurateur.
And so the story goes, after twenty years in the Carroll County
area, David finally found a home at 4 West Main Street. The rich history of the
building was always attractive to David. Having been built 1913, it housed a
clothing store and tailor shop until 1940 when it was leased to G. C. Murphy
for the next forty years.
In 1980 Terry Burke opened The Treat Shop on the first
floor. At that time an antique mall occupied the basement. When the antique
mall closed a restaurant called The Cellar Door Johansson's Dining House of
downtown Westminster Maryland opened.
With the opening of Cranberry Mall in 1987, The Treat Shop
moved its retail operation there and The Cellar Door went out of business.
It was at this time that David Johansson leased the
downstairs and opened Champs. When the building became available for sale in
1994, David's dream came full circle and so began construction of Johansson's
Dining House. Not long after came the construction of Johansson's Microbrewery.
