BP Gas Station with McDonald’s – Channahon, IL
Prime I-55 Corridor Fuel, Food, Gaming & Land Opportunity
R & J Commercial Real Estate is pleased to present a unique opportunity to acquire a BP-branded gas station with McDonald’s tenancy in Channahon, Illinois. This property combines fuel sales, convenience store income, national fast-food tenancy, gaming upside, ATM income, and excess land into a single real estate-backed investment.
Located along the I-55 corridor near Route 6, the site benefits from strong highway access, local customer traffic, commuter movement, and nearby industrial and distribution growth. The property offers direct frontage exposure and convenient access for both neighborhood customers and highway travelers.
The operating site includes a BP fuel station, a convenience store, a McDonald’s drive-thru tenant, gaming machines, an ATM, parking, and fuel infrastructure. In addition to the improved site, the offering includes approximately 2.38 acres of additional undeveloped land, creating future upside for expansion, resale, lease income, or potential commercial development.
This asset is well-positioned for an owner-operator, 1031 exchange buyer, multi-site fuel operator, or long-term investor seeking a hard real estate asset with multiple income sources and future value drivers.
## Investment Highlights
* BP-branded fuel station with convenience store operation
* McDonald’s tenant on site with drive-thru presence

* Additional undeveloped land included for future upside
* Gaming machines recently added with growth potential
* ATM income and multiple customer traffic drivers

* Suitable for operators, investors, 1031 buyers, and long-term holders

## Property Upside
This property offers more than a standard gas station acquisition. The buyer receives an operating BP station, McDonald ’s-related lease income, new gaming revenue potential, and valuable excess land that may support future commercial use, expansion, or resale.
The current owner completed substantial improvements to the property, including fuel system work, pump upgrades, canopy improvements, convenience store remodeling, fire alarm installation, security upgrades, roof repair, and land preparation. These improvements help reduce near-term capital concerns and position the site for continued operation.
The property is also represented as compliant with the upcoming 2028 Illinois Fire Marshal fuel system requirements, which may provide meaningful savings compared to other Illinois stations that still need major compliance work.
Buyer Opportunity
For the right buyer, BP Channahon offers the opportunity to acquire an income-producing operating business today while retaining long-term real estate upside. The combination of BP branding, McDonald’s tenancy, gaming income potential, highway access, and excess land makes this a compelling opportunity in the southwest Chicago/I-55 corridor market.
