Property Features and Assets:

Prime one-story freestanding building with high visibility and heavy vehicle traffic on one of the area’s principal east-west commercial corridors.

Neighbors include Dunkin, Los Dos Primos Mexican Restaurant and Sweet Melissa’s Pizza Pub, close to Lily Lake. Just 2 miles west of the Route 120/Route 12 intersection, a primary retail node anchored by Woodman’s Food Market. The Village of Lakemoor actively encourages commercial development along this corridor, identifying it as a key area serving a growing population.

Market Competition and Expansion:

A rare 2nd-generation opportunity in an established restaurant location, recently Lakemoor Diner and previously the well-known Le Vichyssois for 38 years, giving it nearly 4 decades of foodservice history. The size, kitchen infrastructure and flexible freestanding layout suit a wide variety of concepts, while the patio adds seasonal outdoor dining potential. With the fundamentals in place, a new tenant can focus on branding, tailoring the kitchen to its menu and launching its concept rather than starting from an empty shell. The strong, growing trade area spans portions of McHenry and Lake Counties, with 94,000+ residents within 5 miles and 55,000+ combined vehicles per day at the Route 120/Route 12 intersection. Continued residential and commercial development in Lakemoor, Volo and surrounding communities keeps adding households, consumers and traffic, and the nearby district continues attracting national and regional restaurant concepts, clear proof of ongoing retailer and restaurant interest in the Lakemoor market.
