==History==
In 1949, Al Johnson, the owner, opened a little restaurant that he called ''Al's Home Cooking'', which is now called (Al Johnson's Swedish Restaurant & Butik ).〔Silvers, Amy Rabideau. "Al Johnson, Johnson of Door County Was Known for Unique Restaurant." Review. Journal Sentinel 14 June 2010: n. pag. Print.〕 In 1973, Al Johnson renovated the restaurant by importing wooden logs from a building in Norway and added a sod roof.〔SCHECK, JUSTIN, and STU WOO. "Lars Johnson Has Goats on His Roof and a Stable of Lawyers to Prove It." The Wall Street Journal. N.p., 17 Sept. 2010. Web. 22 Mar. 2013. Print.〕 Al's wife, Ingert changed the interior by keeping a Scandinavian design, so that the place would be traditional, and it was her idea to add a gift shop, called the Butik so that while waiting to be seated, people could browse the Scandinavian gifts.〔"Al Johnsons Swedish Restaurant Butik - Sister Bay, WI in Door County 800-241-9914." Al Johnsons Swedish Restaurant Butik - Sister Bay, WI in Door County 800-241-9914. N.p., n.d. Web. 31 Mar. 2013. Web.〕 After the renovation was complete, Winky Larson, Al's best friend brought him a goat named Oscar as a joke, and someone decided to jokingly put Oscar on the roof, where he then caught the attention of pedestrians, so this inspired Al to get more goats and put them on the roof, and they have been there ever since.〔SCHECK, JUSTIN, and STU WOO. "Lars Johnson Has Goats on His Roof and a Stable of Lawyers to Prove It." The Wall Street Journal. N.p., 17 Sept. 2010. Web. 22 Mar. 2013. Print.〕 In 1996, the Johnsons registered the "Goats on the Roof" trademark, so that other restaurants can't have goats on their roofs, however, this only applies in the United States.〔SCHECK, JUSTIN, and STU WOO. "Lars Johnson Has Goats on His Roof and a Stable of Lawyers to Prove It." The Wall Street Journal. N.p., 17 Sept. 2010. Web. 22 Mar. 2013. Print.〕 The full story of how Al Johnson's first decided to put goats on its roof can be found at the restaurant's (website ) — the home page features a media player link to a TV show segment that was originally broadcast on the Door County TODAY TV show.
