Chicago Retail for Lease - North Branch/Goose Island
Street-Level Retail Space Underneath Grand House Hostel | Approx. 600 SF
Located at 840 W. Grand Ave, this street-level retail storefront sits in a high-visibility commercial corridor between an established smoke shop and barber shop, with built-in foot traffic from the surrounding neighborhood and the hostel/lodging operation above.
Formerly used as a tobacco shop, the space is approximately 600 SF and offers a clean, open retail layout with large front display windows, strong signage potential, a private bathroom, and rear exit access. The storefront has already been positioned as part of the Grand House 424 / Pop Up 424 concept — a marketplace-style retail space designed for brands, creators, vendors, and small businesses looking for a flexible, street-facing presence.
This is a strong opportunity for a retail operator, boutique, wellness concept, service business, showroom, creative brand, or pop-up marketplace concept looking to plug into a growing mixed-use building with daily visibility and a built-in customer base from both the street and the hospitality use upstairs.
