Freestanding Restaurant Downtown DeKalb, IL – On Lincoln Hwy Near NIU!

An exceptional opportunity to lease one of DeKalb's few freestanding, single-tenant restaurant buildings just blocks from Northern Illinois University on the city's primary commercial corridor with convenient access to/from all areas of the city. This fully built-out restaurant offers operators the rare chance to open quickly while avoiding the significant time, expense and uncertainty of constructing a restaurant from the ground up. This space allows an incoming tenant to bypass much of the costly infrastructure already completed, including much of the kitchen layout, plumbing, electrical, hood configuration, dining area, lighting and restaurant improvements. Unlike a restaurant space located within strip centers or shopping plazas, this standalone building provides complete operational independence, dedicated parking, outstanding visibility, unrestricted branding opportunities and the flexibility today's restaurant operators demand. The property can accommodate a wide variety of food service concepts. Its existing infrastructure makes it adaptable for nearly any restaurant concept with minimal modifications. Whether you're an independent restaurateur, local brand, regional operator, national franchise or specialty food concept, this versatile (fast-food or fast-casual) property provides everything needed to establish a strong presence in one of northern Illinois' most active college markets.
