Mr. Guðlaugur Pálsson worked in his shop
from 1917-1993, or for 76 years. He briefly
became a world celebrity when interviewed
for CNN in 1990, where it was stated that
he had the world record in running the
same shop for the longest time. But now
you can see a part of the Old shop, and some
curious merchandise in Húsið museum in
Eyrarbakki.
