Storgatens Konfeksjonsfabrikk was established in 1929 by Olaf Røsberg . Røsberg started in two small rooms in Storgata 7 in Oslo. He expanded rapidly and eventually had production and shop premises throughout the apartment building, as well as the 2nd and 3rd floors in Storgata 9.

The company presented itself this way in 1957;

A specialty store in fine men's and boys' clothing. From a very modest beginning with 2 small rooms, factory owner Røsberg has worked his company until becoming one of the leaders in the industry and now has all the floors in the large business yard, Storgt 7.
Already after 10 years of operation, the company had up to 250 employees. The business ceased in 1988.
