They came because there was something missing. There were no true contemporary furniture stores in Fargo. Energized by Mary Larsien-Cantrell, Mary, Ron Soderquist, and Allen larsien set out to fill a void. Because of the lack of contemporary furniture stores in Fargo, the the trio figured that they could serve the community of Fargo and the surrounding territory very well. They based this conclusion on Mary's 17 years (as of October, 2004) of experience in the retail Scandinavian furniture business. Coupled with Ron's capacity for operational strategies and logistics, and Allen's "Big Picture" mindset and tireless work ethic, they very quickly ended the need for contemporary furniture stores in Fargo with the establishment of Scan Design.To this day, the completely contemporary furniture stores in fargo lineup consists only of Scan Design. There are some that make an attempt at this niche, but really have a larger spectrum that they try to service. The larger companies have the urge to be everything to everyone, and are less worried about competing only in the contemporary furniture stores in fargo market.The expert in this undertaking, Mary Larsien-Cantrell, is a Grand Forks, N.D., native and University of North Dakota alumni has spent the last 22 years working in the retail Scandinavian furniture business."I've been working for others for most of my life and I've always wanted to open my own business, so I'm going to give it a shot," Mary said. "I think Fargo is ready for something different." 5 years later, Scan Design is still thriving. This is a huge accomplishment because a huge percentage of companies fail within the half a decade. Many experts consider the five year mark the "we've made it!" milestone.Ron Soderquist wears many hats in the Scan Design business plan. You might call him "The everything guy". From the sales floor, delivery coordination, actually making deliveries, assembly, advertising and marketing input, and all of the facets of operational concern, you'll see Ron's fingerprints.Allen Larsien is the "big picture" piece that completes the trio of entrepreneurs that was required to start, maintain, and grow this undertaking. He hails from the professional boxing world, starting in 1987. He started as a corner man back then, and over the years developed into a head trainer and also took on management responsibilities. The knowledge he developed and the tireless work ethic that he possessed made him a very recognizable name in professional boxing. To this day he is sought after relentlessly to train up and coming fighters. It was in the boxing business that Allen developed this "big picture" ability.Scan Design opened in October of 2004 at 110 North Broadway in downtown Fargo. Reach them at (701) 365-0900.
