Julie Ingebretsen Ingebretsen’s Scandanavian Food & Gifts “The Bloomington-Cedar-Lake commercial association helped convince Wells Fargo to move in when First Bank left the Bloom-Lake area. We supported the establishment of Mercado Central, and we have helped several new businesses make a go of things a the northeast corner, a location once occupied by a menacing gun shop. The amazing Plaza Verde is the newest addition to Bloom-Lake. The rebuilding of Lake Street and a new streetscape will help things along even further for us, though no business owner enjoys the disruption.” Ingebretsen’s is a Lake Street fixture, opened by Julie Ingebretsen’s grandfather more than 80 years ago and sustained by a mixture of neighborhood business and longstanding customers now spread across the nation. Likewise, Ingebretsen herself is a community fixture. Chair of the Bloomington-Cedar-Lake Business Association and a past chair of the Lake Street Council, she has, in her quiet and measured way, played a leading role in the economic and physical transformation of Lake Street.
