Ingebretsen’s Nordic Marketplace spans four storefronts at its flagship location in South Minneapolis, selling Scandinavian and Minnesotan gifts, beverages, and foods. Karl Ingebretsen opened the store as the Model Meat Market in 1921, catering to the Scandinavian American community thriving in the city. It stands today as one of the few Scandinavian stores remaining in the country. At Ingebretsen’s, planners might find attendee-pleasing foods and gifts, including Koselig Candle Co. birch-and black pepper-scented candles; Minneapolis-made “Uff Da” T-shirts; Hafi lingonberry preserve; and, for the adventurous, Skansen gin juniper berry-infused herring filets. Call well in advance for bulk orders.
