Assemblyman Steve Hawley recently awarded the Viking Valhalla restaurant a certificate for its inclusion in the New York State Historic Business Preservation Registry. The ceremony took place on Wednesday, acknowledging the establishment's significant role in the community since its founding by Mary and Pierson “Doc” Sardou in September 1954.
The Viking Valhalla has been an integral part of Western New York for seven decades. Hawley expressed his pride in recognizing the restaurant's history and contributions. "For the last 70 years, the Viking Valhalla restaurant has been serving our community and making memories for families across Western New York," said Hawley. "I was proud to be able to recognize its rich history and the hard work that has been put in over the years. I’m thankful for the impact it has had on our community over the last 70 years, and I look forward to many more."
This honor reflects both a celebration of local heritage and appreciation for businesses that contribute significantly to their communities.
