With its signature bright yellow-and-black awning, Ingram's Busy Bee Bakery has been a local favorite for more than 50 years. The bakery has a freshly made daily assortment of cookies, cakes, coffee cakes, sweet rolls, muffins and breads. Specialties include wedding and birthday cakes, as well as the "atomic" cake. The hand-dipped and decorated butter cookies are also a popular favorite.
Downers Grove became the home of one of the bakery's early factory locations in the 1950s. This factory bakes freshly made, high-quality breads, cookies, crackers and other baked goods that are shipped internationally.
The national headquarters of this longtime household name has been in Downers Grove since 1985. The grounds include extensive visitor parking, a lake and plentiful gardens. The company produces lunch meat and accompaniments as well as prepared food products and baked goods for sale in nationwide supermarkets.
