The owners of Al Johnson’s Swedish Restaurant and Butik in Sister Bay announced the purchase of the Casperson Funeral Home property in downtown Sister Bay. The sale of the two plus acre property at 10708 North Bayshore Drive closed on Tuesday. In a joint statement, Lars, Rolf and Annika Johnson called the property acquisition an exciting day for their business and themselves. They noted that, at this point, there are no plans for the property located immediately north of the restaurant site. Greg Casperson, speaking for his family, said it has been a privilege to serve the Sister Bay community for more than 98 years and he expressed the belief that the Johnson family will do many positive things for Sister Bay with the former Casperson property for years to come. The Johnsons also expressed appreciation for the many individuals who helped facilitate the sale.
