Minooka Land for Sale - Joliet/Central Will

A rare opportunity to acquire a fully entitled nursery and agribusiness property spanning 50.85± acres just minutes north of the I-80 & Brisbin Road interchange in Minooka, Illinois. Originally developed in 2003, the property has successfully operated as a nursery, landscape supply yard, contractor headquarters, and destination farmer’s market, creating a unique opportunity for operators seeking to scale within a proven agribusiness platform. With hard-to-obtain Kendall County Special Use approvals in place and a thoughtfully designed layout built for operational efficiency, the property is ideally suited for landscape supply companies, nursery operators, wholesale growers, tree service contractors, hardscape distributors, outdoor supply businesses, and destination agribusiness concepts. Approximately 35 acres are currently cash rented on a year-to-year basis, with tenancy open beginning in 2027, providing both supplemental income and future expansion flexibility. An additional 12 acres support the core nursery and landscape supply operation, including roughly 7 acres of improved yard space featuring an expansive rocked yard with tiled drainage, 66 outdoor material bins on concrete pads, irrigated tree display areas along the perimeter, and W-Truss shade structures (canopies currently removed but included in the sale). The site also includes organized equipment storage zones, locking retail display containers, and dedicated material handling areas designed to support high-volume contractor and agribusiness operations. Covered structures and large open-span buildings support streamlined workflow, equipment staging, and inventory protection while allowing flexibility for future growth. The property includes three buildings totaling approximately 20,174± SF under roof. The primary improvement is an 18,098± SF steel-sided FBI building offering a blend of retail, office, and warehouse functionality. Warehouse space is accessible via four 17-foot overhead doors and includes interior material bins, cold storage capabilities, and mezzanine storage. A modern two-story office and retail buildout completed in 2020 totaling approximately 3,000± SF features upper and lower-level offices, conference room, retail showroom, ADA public restroom, employee breakroom with quartz countertops and stainless appliances, employee restroom, and full bathroom with walk-in shower. A private heated flex bay—currently configured as a fitness space—offers excellent adaptability for fleet maintenance, fabrication, equipment service, contractor operations, or mechanic shop use, with capacity to accommodate large equipment and semi-truck storage. LED lighting upgrades have been completed throughout the main building. Supporting improvements include a 576± SF pump house with dual drive-through doors supplying irrigation from a fully stocked 3-acre, 34-foot-deep pond, powering an extensive irrigation system throughout the nursery operation. A 1,500 SF open-front storage building provides additional covered storage and material handling capacity with four large covered bins. All remaining equipment and nursery inventory are negotiable. Combined with rare Kendall County approvals allowing retail sales, vendor markets, and the sale of off-site products, the property presents a unique opportunity to immediately operate as a destination agribusiness integrating production, distribution, contractor operations, and direct-to-consumer sales within a single scalable location. Perhaps most importantly, the site combines entitlements, irrigation infrastructure, contractor-grade yard improvements, extensive material handling systems, and over 20,000 SF under roof—improvements that would require substantial time, capital, and entitlement risk to replicate under today’s development environment.

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 * Strategic Channahon location near I-55 and Route 6 * Additional undeveloped land included for future upside * Gaming machines recently added with growth potential * ATM income and multiple customer traffic drivers * Major recent improvements completed by current ownership * Fuel, food, gaming, land, and lease income in one offering * Suitable for operators, investors, 1031 buyers, and long-term holders * Opportunity to acquire a repositioned site with future expansion potential ## 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. Confidential financials and due diligence materials are available after a signed NDA and buyer qualification.

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.
