Rare opportunity to acquire a long-established, turnkey café, deli and coffee shop that has been serving its community for more than 21 years

Located in the heart of the historic downtown of a far northwest suburb of Chicago in McHenry County, this longtime local favorite has developed deep community roots, strong name recognition and an exceptionally loyal customer following – including more than 2,900 customers in its loyalty program.

This is a proven, multi-revenue foodservice operation combining a café, deli, coffee/espresso program, prepared foods and catering under one roof.

The menu features a broad selection of handcrafted favorites including light breakfast items, fresh salads, housemade soups and chili, classic sandwiches, wraps, hot paninis, deluxe burgers, homemade pastries and baked goods, daily and weekly specials, plus espresso and coffee beverages.

The straightforward counter-service format helps keep the operation manageable while accommodating dine-in, carryout, pickup and catering.

The business occupies a character-rich historic downtown storefront with an interior that combines the charm of a classic small-town general store with a comfortable neighborhood café. Warm architectural character, wood displays and an inviting dining environment give the operation personality that would be costly and difficult to duplicate in a new buildout.

The main level offers 1,400 sqft of customer-facing café/deli space, while a full additional 1,400 sqft basement provides substantial prep, storage and back-of-house capacity. The lower level supports catering production and also includes a private dining/event area.

Simple operation – counter service. Dine-in, carryout and pickup, plus catering. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Seating is versatile for a business of this size: 35 indoor seats + 16 seasonal outdoor sidewalk seats + private lower-level party room accommodating up to 40 guests.

That private room creates an additional opportunity for birthdays, showers, business meetings, clubs, community gatherings, catered events and other private functions.

Instead of spending substantial capital designing and building a new café, deli or sandwich concept – and then starting from zero to develop customers – a buyer can acquire an operating business with more than 2 decades of history, almost $500,000 in annual sales, thousands of loyalty members, established catering, extensive FF&E, trained staff, a highly recognizable local presence and an attractive lease.

The owners are retiring after more than 2 decades and are committed to helping provide a smooth transition. The business is independent, with no franchise royalties, advertising fees or transfer fees.

Prime retail space in a freestanding building in the heart of a historic McHenry County suburban downtown, surrounded by other popular local restaurants, businesses and services.

Its classic storefront offers strong curb appeal and visibility along the community’s primary N-S corridor with high traffic counts, carrying the highest traffic volumes in the city. Also, near another major route/E-W regional corridor with 12,000-18,000 vehicles per day providing regional traffic.

Plus, its walkable downtown setting attracts consistent foot traffic from a mix of residents, workers, commuters and visitors.

The hard part is already built! Exceptional opportunity to acquire a fully built, turnkey bar, restaurant and video gaming venue in a prime DuPage County location for a fraction of the cost and time required to develop a comparable operation from the ground up.

This 5,900 sqft venue offers an impressive restaurant and entertainment build-out, professional high-volume kitchen, full bar, established video gaming operation, extensive audio/visual package, outdoor patio and seating for ~150 guests.

A major highlight is the proven video gaming operation. 5 terminals operate in a dedicated semi-private gaming area and generated ~$161,989 in income to the establishment in 2025. Gaming continues to perform in 2026, producing ~ $121,622 Jan through Aug – up 10.6% over the same period in 2025, averaging more than $15,000/mth.

The build-out is substantial. The professional kitchen features a 24ft hood, 6-burner range, 3ft char grill, 4ft flat top, fryers, double-deck pizza oven, steam table, walk-in cooler/freezer combination, separate walk-in freezer, dedicated dish room and dry storage – providing the infrastructure for a wide variety of food concepts.

The full bar seats 16 and includes a 12-head beer tower, back-bar refrigeration and ice bins.

The current operation has been owner-operated without a general manager on site, creating an opportunity for an experienced, hands-on operator to bring renewed management attention, marketing, cost controls, menu development and event programming to an already completed venue. Rather than spending significant capital and a year or more building from scratch, a buyer can step into an established location with the major infrastructure already in place.

Lease runs through Dec 2032, providing long-term site control. This independent concept has no franchise royalties, advertising fees or transfer fees.

Bring your own concept, continue the existing format or convert the space into a sports bar, neighborhood tavern, pizza/pub concept, scratch kitchen, franchise or entertainment-driven restaurant.

Prime retail space in a freestanding building in a busy grocery-anchored retail center. Boasts excellent street visibility, strong exposure, convenient access and ample parking. The center itself recorded more than 1.1 million visits during the past 12 months and features strong national co-tenancy and a large shared parking lot.

Perfectly situated along one of the western suburbs’ primary commercial corridors, the site benefits from ~34,300 vehicles per day, while nearby I-355 ramps handle ~133,200 VPD.

And is surrounded by a strong mix of established residential communities, regional retail destinations, major hotels, corp office corridors and entertainment venues that continue to drive consistent consumer activity throughout the week.

Its surrounding trade area is equally compelling, with ~273,000 people within 5 miles, avg household income of ~$134,000 and >145,000 employees within 3 miles, providing a deep customer base for lunch, happy hour, dinner, gaming, sports and weekend traffic.

Excellent opportunity to acquire an established, independent pizzeria and authentic Italian carryout located in a desirable Western Suburb of Chicago in DuPage County. This popular neighborhood operation has developed a loyal following and outstanding online reputation for its high-quality pizza and authentic Italian cuisine.

Established in 2019 and under current ownership since 2023, this streamlined operation is designed around carryout, pickup and delivery with no dine-in seating or servers, keeping staffing requirements and operating complexity to a minimum. The business currently averages ~$7,500/wk in sales with abbreviated operating hours and being closed Mondays.

The business occupies 1,540 sqft in an established neighborhood shopping center with excellent accessibility and ample shared parking. The exceptionally affordable rent is only $2,603/mth including water, providing a remarkably low occupancy cost for a DuPage County food-service operation. The current lease runs through Aug 2030, with the landlord open to additional option periods.

The space features an efficient, fully equipped commercial kitchen specifically designed for a high-volume pizza and Italian carryout operation. The existing buildout and equipment provide a buyer with the opportunity to step into an operating restaurant without the substantial cost, permitting, construction and lengthy lead time associated with building a new food-service space from scratch.

The current business model is particularly attractive for an owner operator. A small, lean crew handles the operation without the expense and management demands of a traditional dining room or front-of-house service staff.

Unlike a franchise, this is a 100% independent operation with no royalties, franchise fees or corporate restrictions, providing the next owner with tremendous flexibility. A buyer can continue operating the established concept or potentially evolve the menu and operation to fit their own vision.

Offered as an asset sale, the transaction includes the established brand, recipes, goodwill, furniture, fixtures, equipment and existing lease.

Exceptional opportunity to bypass the time, expense and uncertainty of building a restaurant from the ground up!

This 3,432 sqft 2nd-generation restaurant & bar in an affluent far northwest suburb of Chicago offers a newer, extensively improved build-out, fully equipped commercial kitchen, full bar, spacious dining room and outdoor patio – all ready to be transformed into your concept.

This is strictly an asset sale. The existing restaurant names, concepts, recipes, website and intellectual property are NOT included. A buyer must rebrand and operate under its own concept, subject to landlord and governmental approvals. That makes this an ideal opportunity for an experienced restaurant operator, emerging brand or established concept looking for a substantially faster and more cost-effective path to opening another location.

The restaurant underwent a substantial build-out in 2023. Instead of starting with a vacant shell and spending months designing, permitting, constructing and equipping a restaurant, a new operator can take advantage of major restaurant infrastructure already in place. A tremendous amount of restaurant equipment is included, giving a new operator flexibility to accommodate numerous foodservice concepts.

Major equipment includes a 12 ft hood, double-stack conveyor pizza oven, 3 deep fryers, charbroiler, 2 stacked convection ovens, 2 holding/warming cabinets, 60-qrt dough mixer and steam table. Refrigeration includes upright cooler/freezer equipment, multiple refrigerated sandwich & pizza prep tables, chef-base refrigeration, additional front-counter refrigeration and a walk-in cooler & freezer. Stainless prep tables, shelving, 3-compartment pot & pan sink and extensive smallwares are also included.

That versatility makes the facility adaptable to a wide variety of concepts – pizza, burgers, sandwich, wings, barbecue, Mexican, Mediterranean, Asian, gastropub, sports bar, family restaurant, brewpub-style restaurant or another chef-driven concept, subject to landlord approval and applicable licensing.

Another major advantage is the existing full bar infrastructure, eliminating one of the most expensive components of many restaurant conversions. The bar features 2 keg coolers supporting a total of 10 draft taps, liquor rails, beverage refrigeration, wine refrigeration and an ice bin, along with 4 dual-flavor frozen beverage/slush machines.

Outdoor dining is already incorporated into the operation with an enclosed patio accommodating ~32 guests. Patio furnishings include 12 picnic-style benches and umbrellas. This gives a new operator additional seasonal capacity without having to create an outdoor dining area from scratch and provides another attractive revenue opportunity during Chicagoland’s warmer months.

Prime corner retail space in a newer neighborhood retail center with ample parking along a major E-W commercial corridor, immediately east of a heavily traveled N-S arterial.

This intersection boasts over 40,000 vehicles per day and provides access to a broader customer base extending well beyond the immediate community into several surrounding northwest and western suburbs.

The center sits within an established retail node surrounded by restaurants, shopping, service businesses and dense residential neighborhoods.

Exceptional opportunity to lease the entire 3,799 sqft ground floor of this historic bakery property at 5742-5744 N Milwaukee Ave on Chicago’s far northwest side.

Formerly associated with the longtime Gladstone Park Bakery and currently home to New Paradise Bakery, this established food-service location combines an attractive customer-facing bakery/café with a large, fully equipped commercial production kitchen – ready for the next operator.

The 2-story masonry building dates to 1920, while the ground-floor bakery underwent a major renovation in 2022, including updated plumbing and electrical systems and extensive food-production improvements.

Rather than taking over an empty shell and spending substantial time and capital designing, permitting and equipping a commercial kitchen, a new tenant can step into an established food-production facility with the infrastructure already in place.

The landlord-owned furniture, fixtures and equipment remain with the premises for the lease term and renewals, providing an enormous head start for the next operator.

The extensive equipment package includes a Middleby Marshall 6x-shelf oven, Hobart rolling rack oven with racks, multiple Hobart commercial mixers, twin-arm dough mixer, spiral mixer, Baxter proofers, 2-pass dough sheeter, Baker’s Pride mini pizza oven, 12′ exhaust hood, fryers, range with flat-top grill, Hobart slicer, gelato machine, milk pasteurizer, cookie dough stamper, shrink-wrap machine, dough racks and numerous commercial prep tables.

Cold-storage capacity is equally impressive with an 18’x10′ walk-in cooler and 20’x20′ walk-in freezer, plus additional refrigeration and freezers.

The retail area is also nicely outfitted with refrigerated pastry display cases, gelato display case, sandwich station, POS system, tables and seating, allowing an operator to combine high-volume production with a customer-facing retail component.

This address has a long association with baking on Chicago’s northwest side. The former Gladstone Park Bakery became a neighborhood institution known especially for decorated cakes. New Paradise subsequently transformed the property into a Sicilian-inspired bakery, café and gelateria and opened here in 2022 following extensive renovations with nearly all new bakery equipment.

That history gives the next tenant something virtually impossible to recreate in a new location – a property that area residents already recognize as a destination for baked goods and specialty foods.

This truly is a unique opportunity to lease a large, fully built-out and extensively equipped bakery/commercial kitchen on one of Chicago’s established northwest side commercial corridors.

Bring your concept, recipes and staff – the expensive infrastructure is already here!

Located along the well-established Milwaukee Ave commercial corridor serving Gladstone Park, Norwood Park, Jefferson Park and surrounding northwest side neighborhoods, the property benefits from a dense residential customer base, strong household incomes and excellent accessibility.

~23,400 residents and 9,190 households live within 1 mile, with median household income around $102,000. Within 3 miles are ~220,000 residents and 83,285 households, with median household income around $100,000. The area also includes ~7,914 daytime employees within 1 mile and 93,000 within 3 miles, creating additional weekday, catering and wholesale demand.

Milwaukee Ave itself carries ~10,535 vehicles per day at the property and 14,888 VPD near Milwaukee and Medina. Plus, the Gladstone Park Metra station is ~0.4 mile away.

Feel free to stop by the location as a customer first. This is a HIGHLY confidential listing, DO NOT talk to any owners, employees or patrons.

An outstanding opportunity to step into one of the most recognized names in the premium frozen dessert industry with a highly desirable location within one of Blaine’s most active commercial, recreational and rapidly developing destination corridors.

Prime retail space in The Shoppes At National Market Center at Hwy 65 and 105th Ave NE, a heavily-traveled retail corridor serving Blaine as well as surrounding northern Twin Cities communities.

The location benefits from high visibility, convenient access, established retail traffic, nearby residential neighborhoods and an exceptional concentration of sports/recreational activity.

Even more importantly, the immediate 105th Ave area is undergoing a significant transformation that will substantially increase the area’s long-term appeal.

One of this location’s greatest advantages is its proximity to the National Sports Center, an enormous year-round generator of athletes, teams, families and visitors. Recognized as the world’s largest amateur sports facility that attracts more than 4M visits annually, making it Minnesota’s most-visited sports facility. Its sprawling 600+acre campus includes an extraordinary collection of facilities/events that attracts athletes/spectators from throughout MN, the US and internationally. For a family-oriented dessert concept such as Cold Stone, this is an exceptional complementary demand generator.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this location is what is happening immediately around it. Construction is now underway on The Farm, a massive 70-acre sports/entertainment district adjacent to the National Sports Center. Designed to become a major regional destination, The Farm is planned to combine sports, entertainment, retail, restaurants, hospitality and residential development.

Blaine itself provides another important advantage. Blaine is one of the fastest-growing suburbs in the Twin Cities metro area. The city reported an estimated population of 77,871 residents & 27,012 households in 2025. This Cold Stone directly benefits from its continued residential, commercial and employment growth.

The combination of expanding population, Hwy 65 visibility, established retail, the National Sports Center & the development of The Farm makes the 105th Ave area one of Blaine’s most noteworthy commercial locations!

This is an asset sale, making it especially attractive for an experienced owner -operator/restaurateur/multi-unit groups/gaming operators looking to expand, franchisee seeking a 2nd-generation location or entrepreneur wanting to introduce an entirely new concept.

The existing Italian restaurant, pizzeria and bar concept can potentially be continued or the versatile buildout could be converted to a variety of restaurant uses including any full-service restaurant, bar & grill, sports bar or converted to a fast-casual, QSR, franchise, delivery/carryout-focused operation or other compatible food and beverage concepts.

One of the property’s strongest selling points is its 2025 renovation, offering a buyer the opportunity to step into a finished, permitted and operational restaurant at a fraction of the time and investment typically required to develop a comparable location from the ground up.

Rather than taking on the expense, uncertainty and lengthy timeline associated with designing, permitting and constructing a restaurant from an empty shell, a buyer can acquire an established restaurant space with the major infrastructure, kitchen equipment, dining room, bar, furnishings and operating systems already in place.

The restaurant features a dining room with a combination of booths and tables, a full bar with bar seating and multiple flat-screen televisions, plus a dedicated gaming area.
And the sale includes an extensive restaurant equipment package capable of supporting significant food production.

A particularly valuable feature is the existing pizza production infrastructure, including a double-stack Middleby Marshall conveyor pizza oven, dough mixer, double-pass dough sheeter and 3-door refrigerated pizza prep table. The cooking line also includes a 6-burner range w/oven, 2-burner gas stove, flat-top grill and 2 fryers, along with extensive stainless-steel prep tables. Refrigeration/freezer capacity includes a walk-in cooler, 2-door reach-in freezer, chest freezer and more. A Toast POS system and camera/security system further complement the operating package.

Another major advantage is the ability to operate not only as a restaurant but also as a bar and gaming establishment. The current premises are licensed for on-premise liquor service and have live video gaming operating in a dedicated front-of-house area.
