In 1868, Theodor Wessel and Emil Vette opened a small dry goods store in Copenhagen, which immediately became popular. After 2 years it was necessary to greatly expand retail space that it had rented premises in the building of the hotel "du Nord" on the square Cornes of Nytorv (the building is remarkable by the fact that in it from 1838 to 1842 he lived Hans Christian Andersen).

Shop grew, occupying more premises and in 1879 received the official name of the hotel. Over all the fact that 10 years later, in 1889, the store owners bought the entire property. Since the old building is not too consistent with the views of the new masters of modern trade enterprise, it together with a pair of adjacent old buildings were demolished in 1893, and began construction of a large shopping complex in the style of the French Renaissance by architects Henri Gisela and albert Jensen. Just a year later, the luxurious Palace of trade was opened for customers. By that time the company had about 50 stores across Denmark in the first decade of the next, 20th century, their number close to a hundred.

Because the descendants of the Vikings are happy to use the two-wheeled means of transportation - Bicycle commute to work, shopping, to visit and country walks.
