Bangor's European Market transitions ownership after 30 years of operation
What happened
Ingrid Perkins and Rick Gilbert are retiring from running Bangor’s European Market, which has operated every Saturday morning for over 30 years. The couple is handing over the market, their store, Ingrid’s European Imports, and the adjoining Sunnyside Greenhouse to new owners, sisters Serine and Kari Steines. The market was originally inspired by a farmers’ market in Budapest.

Why it matters
The market has been described as a small business incubator and a launching point for local chefs and artists who have gone on to run their own businesses. The new owners plan to continue the market and sell imported goods, including German and Scandinavian products.
