In addition, there are a wide number of Chamber members like Painted Tree that offer specialty gifts and gourmet selections; second hand fashions and household items; health foods, and more.

Dining in Bloomingdale is always a fun and appetizing experience. The Chamber introduced its popular Restaurant Week in 2018. It was an instant success. Guests are able to enter and win a gift card bundle for dining out. Specially crafted meals by participating local restaurants tempted palates everywhere. Next year’s event will take place in January 2024.

Where do you begin to tout the delicious dining choices available for breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner in Bloomingdale? Sprinkled across the Village are familyowned restaurants, pizzerias, and popular national chains, along with specialty bakeries, bistros, bars, and grills. You’ll find all that you crave, or try something new, with contemporary or traditional African, American, Indian, Italian, Mexican, and Vietnamese- inspired meals.

Today, more than ever, it is important to support local and shop local. Did you know that for every dollar spent at a small business, about 67 cents stays within the local community?

What’s even more important, local businesses are very willing to give back to the community. They fund the scholarship program and are involved in many fundraisers, whether it’s the Bloomingdale Chamber, schools, clubs, and notfor-profit organizations.

Take time to get to know the local businesses located throughout the Village of Bloomingdale.
