Ole & Steen


Lagkagehuset is a Danish bakery chain with over 143 branches in Denmark, England, and New York City.
The present-day business was formed in 2008 through a merger of Ole Kristoffersen and Steen Skallebaek's bakeries, both founded in the early 1990s. Originally owned by private equity firm FSN Capital, it was sold in 2017 to Nordic Capital for a reported. Kristoffersen and Skallebaek stepped down from the board at the time of the sale. Later that year, L Catterton acquired a 20% stake. The current CEO is Jason Cotta, former managing director of Costa Coffee in the United Kingdom.
In May 2020, the company came under social media scrutiny about their ownership structure and allegations this might enable tax avoidance. The controversy emerged in connection with their receipt of funding from the Danish coronavirus relief package. This prompted the company to issue their accounts early, indicating domestic tax payment.
