Established Polish Restaurant in Niles, IL – Turnkey Operation
Business Description
Established Polish Restaurant in Niles, IL with Lease Through 2029 – Turnkey Opportunity
Rare opportunity to acquire a fully operational and established Polish restaurant located on busy Milwaukee Avenue in Niles, Illinois. Operating since 2019, this family-owned restaurant has built a loyal customer base within the Chicagoland community and offers traditional Polish cuisine in a warm and welcoming environment.
The restaurant successfully remained operational throughout the COVID-19 pandemic by adapting to delivery, takeout, and modified dine-in service, demonstrating both operational resilience and strong customer support during challenging market conditions.
The restaurant is situated in a high-traffic commercial corridor surrounded by national retailers, shopping, and strong daily vehicle activity. Neighboring businesses, including Starbucks, contribute to consistent visibility and customer flow. Few direct Polish restaurant competitors operate nearby, creating a unique niche opportunity for a new owner.
The business is being offered as a turnkey operation with the lease secured through October 31, 2029. The dining room buildout and commercial kitchen improvements have been fully paid for and are included in the sale. The facility includes a fully equipped operational kitchen with prep stations, refrigeration, cooking equipment, dining furniture, POS system, and existing operational setup necessary for continued service.
Current ownership has focused primarily on dine-in operations with additional upside potential available through expanded catering, increased marketing, extended operating hours, delivery platform growth, and greater utilization of the existing bar area. The restaurant is currently closed on Mondays and maintains limited evening hours, leaving opportunities for a more aggressive owner-operator to increase revenue.
Owner is willing to provide transition assistance and training for up to one week or longer if necessary. Training may include menu preparation, recipes, vendor sourcing, kitchen operations, purchasing procedures, and general operational guidance to support a smooth ownership transition.
Highlights:
• Established in 2019
• Lease secured through 2029
• Fully equipped commercial kitchen
• Turnkey operation
• Loyal customer base
• Successfully operated throughout COVID-19 pandemic
• Strong visibility and traffic location
• Growth potential through catering, marketing, and expanded hours
• Family-owned and operated
Reason for Sale:
Owner considering retirement and long-term personal planning.
Owner is willing to consider reasonable offers from qualified buyers. Additional information available upon request.
