A fifth son, Hjalmar Pettersen, was a noted librarian and bibliographer. It was a son of Hjalmar, , who later took over Gunerius Pettersen's company. Christian Børs Pettersen was joined by a grandson of Axel, another Gunerius as co-owner. The family company still exists in the same location, but the store is now named Gunerius Shoppingsenter. Another of Gunerius Pettersen's descendants is the champion golfer Suzann Pettersen. (en)
