Welcome to Friman’s – The heart of Tenala
Friman´s is a small family business founded in 1996 and run by the Friman family and friends. In the beginning, business involved industrial service and various metal and repair works. Over time, the business has grown into four different parts: the shop, the restaurant, the dairy and the workshop. This very special concept offers guests a variety of services, tastes and plenty to see in one place.
