Big Sven

Big Sven was the son of Big Sven II and the father of Sven Lindstrom. Big Sven travelled to the United States ahead of his family, and after he settled in St. Olaf, he sent for Big Sven II. He then arranged for Sven Lindstrom to marry Olga Nolstrom, and flew Sven Lindstrom to the United States.

Big Sven, along with Little Sven, owned a smoked herring hoagie house in St. Olaf. He is known as an early riser; he sleeps with the cows and wakes up with them.

Although Sven Lindstrom is a cousin of Rose Nylund, the precise relationship between Nylund and Big Sven is unknown.
