High-Volume Well-Established Cafe & Restaurant w/Bar & Gaming Western Suburb of Chicago, IL - $1M+ Sales!
"Boasts Numerous Revenue Streams Serving Multiple Dayparts"
Exceptional opportunity to acquire a well-established, highly-rated independent café and restaurant with full bar and licensed video gaming lounge located in a highly-desirable western suburb of Chicago in DuPage County. Established nearly a decade ago, this popular neighborhood concept has built a loyal customer following, strong reputation and proven operating history, generating over $1 million in combined gross revenue in 2025.
This multi-faceted business combines a full-service restaurant with a counter-service cafe, full bar and gaming lounge. Dine-in, carryout, pickup and 3rd party delivery, plus huge catering business. In addition to 6 gaming terminals providing an additional high-margin ancillary revenue stream, generating $46,244 in gaming income in 2025.
Its beautifully built-out space features an extensive commercial kitchen, dedicated specialty coffee/espresso counter, spacious dining room, bar area, separate gaming lounge and fenced-in patio. Its fully-equipped kitchen includes a large exhaust hood, 6-burner stove, walk-in cooler, char grill, flat-top, fryers and much more. Overall the facility can accommodate everyday dining, larger groups and high-volume periods with seating for more than 175 guests inside and out. And the dedicated gaming area provides an additional customer experience and revenue stream separate from the core food and beverage business.
An experienced staff handles daily operations efficiently with relatively light owner oversight. Independent with no franchise royalties or corporate restrictions, a buyer may continue operating the established concept and benefit from its existing goodwill and customer relationships or potentially re-concept the fully equipped facility subject to landlord approval and applicable licensing. The asset sale includes all FF&E, leasehold improvements, trade names, website, social media, phone number, proprietary recipes and operating systems.
