Sycamore Retail for Sale - Western East/West Corr

Marcus & Millichap is pleased to present the opportunity to purchase the fee simple interest in a 100% occupied neighborhood strip center located in Sycamore, Illinois. With an average suite size of 2,000 square feet, this retail property features a mix convenience-based retailers that are the lifeblood of this asset class. Positioned at a signalized intersection, across the street from Sycamore’s primary grocery store, the underlying fundamentals of the real estate would be impossible to recreate elsewhere in this market and would certainly cost more than the $155 per square foot that comprise the asking price. All tenant leases feature annual increases, ranging between 2% and 4%, building in incremental upside that should compound over a new owner’s hold period. Average in-place rents are strikingly low as well. The liquor store on the endcap is paying below $12 per square foot gross, while the nail salon tenant in an interior suite is paying $25 per square foot. This indicates what is achievable at this property as the next owner will have the opportunity to either enjoy fixed annual increases from existing tenants, or mark rents to market as leases roll. Ownership sold the easternmost endcap unit to the tenant in 2012. As a result, the property is subject to an association which is also controlled by ownership. Control of the association will simultaneously be conveyed at the time of sale along with the subject property. The owner of the endcap pays 20% of overall common area maintenance expenses based on their pro rata share of the building. Sycamore is a growing community sandwiched between the western suburbs of Chicago and Dekalb, the home of Northern Illinois University. With optimal average household incomes of $116,000 annually and a pronounced increase in new single family home construction, the demographics of this market continue to strengthen and further bolster service and convenience oriented neighborhood retail.

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.
