    Northwest Suburb of Chicago, IL

    A fully built-out restaurant space featuring a modern, professionally built-out space with high-quality furniture, fixtures and equipment located on a proven retail and dining corridor. Asset sale – all FF&E included.

    The franchise or brand is not included in the sale, making this an ideal opportunity for an owner-operator or multi-unit group to introduce their own franchise or independent concept without the time, cost and risk of a full ground-up build.

    The space features a contemporary layout designed for fast-casual and quick-service operations, with an efficient customer service line, a fully vented commercial kitchen, and durable finishes throughout.

    The build-out was designed to accommodate high-volume operations and supports dine-in, carryout, delivery and 3rd-party ordering with minimal modification. Significant capital has already been invested in infrastructure, allowing a new operator to step in and focus on branding and menu execution rather than construction.

    This is a rare chance to acquire a nearly move-in-ready restaurant footprint in a sought-after northwest suburb at a fraction of replacement cost, with immediate speed-to-market and long-term upside.

    The strip center features a strong, complementary tenant mix creating consistent all-day traffic with co-tenants producing repeat visits throughout the day and week. Its blend of food, beverage, fitness and service retail drives habitual customer behavior and makes the center an established neighborhood destination rather than a single-purpose retail stop.

    And directly behind the center is a large office park with a dense concentration of office, medical, fitness, healthcare, technology and professional services. This immediate nearby daytime population provides a built-in customer base for lunch, grab-and-go, catering and repeat weekday traffic, significantly strengthening sales potential.

    The center is also adjacent to two large apartment complexes supplying dense nearby rooftops that support evening dining, late-day takeout and delivery demand. This rare combination of retail/dining co-tenancy, office/professional density and immediate residential adjacency creates a balanced day-to-night traffic profile ideal for a wide range of restaurant concepts.

    Finally, the property benefits from being next to a major redevelopment site and a major long-term regional catalyst. This future development project further enhances the area’s visibility, infrastructure investment and long-term upside, making the location particularly attractive for operators seeking both immediate demand and future growth potential!
