About Us Welcome back to Freeway Ford

Our Story

For over half a century, Freeway Ford has been a fixture at 9700 Lyndale Avenue South in Bloomington, MN. Since opening our doors in the early 1960s, we’ve worked to be more than a place to buy a car. We want to be a neighbor that Twin Cities families, commuters and businesses can count on for the long run.

Rooted in a Minnesota automotive family.

For most of our history, Freeway Ford was part of the dealership family built by N. Bud Grossman. Bud was a Minneapolis native and a University of Minnesota graduate who helped pioneer corporate vehicle leasing. He was known for his integrity and for the way he treated customers and employees. Along with sister stores like Suburban Chevrolet in Eden Prairie, Freeway Ford grew under the Grossman family into one of the metro’s go-to Ford dealers.

Growing up with Bloomington.

Bloomington changed dramatically as I-35W and I-494 turned it into one of Minnesota’s largest and busiest cities. Freeway Ford grew right along with it. Generations of local drivers have bought their first F-150, family Explorer or work-ready Transit from us, then trusted our service team to keep it on the road.

A NEW CHAPTER.

In September 2026, Freeway Ford joined Walser Automotive Group. Walser is a family-owned, Bloomington-based company whose Minnesota roots go back more than 70 years. The move passed our store from one longtime Minnesota automotive family to another, and it also brought Ford back to the Walser family. Our team, our location and our commitment to this community stay the same. We now have the backing of one of the region’s most established dealer groups.

What hasn’t changed

Whether you’re shopping new Ford trucks, SUVs and EVs, browsing quality pre-owned vehicles, outfitting a commercial fleet, or booking an oil change, our approach is the same as it’s always been: treat people fairly, earn their trust and be here for the next one. Stop by and see us on Lyndale. We’d love to be part of your story too.
