Chicago Retail for Sale - South Chicago

Constructed in 2018, this single tenant net leased freestanding Goodwill store represents a ground-up new construction combined with a partial adaptive reuse, delivering a fully renovated asset with zero landlord responsibilities in a dynamic retail corridor bordering the southwestern edge of Chicago and Evergreen Park. Its location between both high-income and emerging neighborhoods drives robust inbound donation traffic and consistent outbound shopper activity. Positioned on Western Avenue with a rare 320 feet of frontage and on-site parking, the property benefits from exceptional visibility and access to more than 31,000 vehicles per day. Additionally, the site is shadow anchored by major national retailers including Walmart, Sam’s Club, Meijer, and Menards, and sits within a vibrant retail and medical corridor that brings strong daytime and employee populations. The submarket exhibits extremely low retail vacancy for spaces with Western Avenue exposure, underscoring the strong tenant demand in the area. Recent nearby lease transactions have achieved gross rents of more than $20/SF higher than the subject property, highlighting the below-market rent and NNN pass-through expenses. The property is leased to the largest of the 150 regional Goodwill organizations across the world, operating roughly 100 stores between greater Chicago and Milwaukee with $360 Million in 2024 revenues. The thrift retail sector continues to experience powerful growth driven by sustainability trends, affordability, and the enduring popularity of the “treasure hunt” shopping experience. As a resilient, recession-resistant retail category, the sector tends to do better in economic downturns. With its strong tenant, below-market rent, thrift sector trends, and location in a stable and dynamic Chicago retail corridor, this asset represents a rare opportunity to acquire a newly constructed, high-visibility retail property with a strong fundamentals and long-term upside. Owner is a licensed Illinois managing real estate broker.

Drive Through Restaurants For Sale

Drive Through Restaurants

A drive-thru restaurant is a type of fast food establishment that provides customers with the ability to order and receive their meal while still in their car. This type of restaurant has been on the rise in recent years with an increase in demand for quick, mobile-friendly food options.

The majority of drive through restaurants are located on or near busy streets, making them easy for drivers to access. This accessibility can be attractive to investors as it will increase potential revenues by attracting more customers without extensive advertising costs.

Why should you buy a restaurant with a drive through as an investor?

There are many reasons to invest in a drive through restaurant. These restaurants can be profitable if they're modeled correctly and managed well. You need to consider several things when investing in a drive-through restaurant, such as location and demographics, before deciding whether or not it's right for you

The first thing that needs consideration is where your potential business should be located. A major factor here is population density - what does the neighborhood look like? Is there plenty of foot traffic on any given day? If so, this would mean more customers for the restaurant! You also want to make sure there are no competing businesses nearby that may lure away your customer base; try looking at some other areas of town with less competition and underserved population.

What are the costs of buying a drive through restaurant?

The costs to consider include the cost of the building, renovations or repairs and upgrades needed in order to do business. There may be additional fees such as franchise fees, permits, licensing. Talk to your broker about additional costs.

The cost for a commercial property itself will vary depending on the size and location; a building might cost more than one near a busy highway interchange with high traffic volume. The price per square foot also varies significantly by location.

How to make your purchase profitable and sustainable in the long run.

Purchasing a profitable drive-through restaurant requires careful research and consideration of what is needed in the area.

You will need to consider the most profitable drive-through locations, deciding if you want a single site or plan on multiple sites.

Consideration should be given to both established restaurants with traffic volumes that meet your needs as well as those which are under-performing but have potential for time and money investment to increase revenues.

Is it worth it for you to buy a drive thru restaurant now?

Right now is a a great time to invest in a drive through restaurant.

As of 2021, Interest rates are low and there is less competition for properties, which means you can get the property for less money than if you buy it later on down the road when prices and interest rates may increase. Additionally, now would be a good time to buy because people need convenient and safe food options during tough economic times.
