Premier Indoor Golf Simulator Business with Growth Potential
$ 420,000
This established indoor golf and entertainment business has been operating for more than a decade and provides a modern, technology-driven experience for golfers of all skill levels. The facility features advanced 4K golf simulators offering realistic course play, practice and driving-range capabilities, detailed performance analytics, and access to an extensive library of golf courses. A particularly valuable feature of the operation is its legacy master licensing for the simulator technology, eliminating the recurring monthly subscription fees commonly associated with newer systems. This provides an ongoing operating-cost advantage while allowing the business to offer a broad range of simulator functionality and course options. Revenue is generated through simulator rentals, leagues, golf instruction, memberships, private events, and food and beverage sales. The business hosts a variety of recurring leagues, works with golf professionals to provide lessons, and offers beer, wine, food, and refreshments, helping position the facility as both a golf destination and a social entertainment venue. The indoor format supports year-round play and attracts recreational golfers, more serious players, groups, leagues, and event customers. With an established customer base, multiple revenue streams, experienced staff, and limited current advertising spend, the business provides a new owner with opportunities to expand memberships, leagues, private and corporate events, partnerships, and local marketing initiatives. The business offers several opportunities for a new owner to expand revenue without materially changing the existing concept. Potential growth initiatives include increasing memberships and league participation, expanding private and corporate events, developing additional partnerships with golf professionals and local organizations, and investing more heavily in digital and local marketing. With historically limited advertising spend, there may also be an opportunity to increase customer acquisition and utilization through a more consistent marketing strategy. The business's year-round indoor format provides a strong foundation for continued growth across recreational play, instruction, leagues, and group events. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/downersgrove/listings/Premier-Indoor-Golf-Simulator-Business-with-Growth-Potential

Profitable Two-Site Vehicle-Care Portfolio in Western Illinois
$ 3,000,000
Three Income Streams | Absentee Potential | Real Estate Included Commercial Plus, LLC is pleased to present a confidential opportunity to acquire a profitable, fee-simple two-site car wash, quick-lube and storage business in western Illinois. Located within the broader Quad Cities regional market, the properties operate as one complementary vehicle-care platform, combining established cash flow, semi-absentee ownership potential and a ready avenue for additional growth. SEMI-ABSENTEE OWNERSHIP POTENTIAL Automatic and self-serve washes and 32 storage units provide lower-touch income, while the sites’ proximity supports consolidated oversight and semi-absentee potential with qualified local coverage. QUICK-LUBE GROWTH ENGINE The equipped quick-lube bay offers ready operating upside through expanded hours, wash-customer cross-selling, fleet relationships and service-menu optimization. ESTABLISHED MARKET POSITION The sites serve a car-dependent western Illinois market with recurring vehicle-care demand, limited local alternatives and access to the broader Quad Cities economy. DOCUMENTED PROFITABLE GROWTH Seller-provided financials show annual revenue growth from 2023 through 2025, expanding gross profit, materially improved operating income and continued profitability through June 2026. TRANSACTION STRUCTURE The sale includes both operating businesses, fee-simple real estate, improvements and equipment.

Profitable Custom Framing Business
$ 199,999.99
A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established custom framing business that serves Chicago’s NW Suburbs. Known for exceptional craftsmanship and truly personalized service, this business has built the kind of reputation that takes decades to create. Customers return again and again—and enthusiastically refer friends and family—for the knowledgeable guidance, creative design and extraordinary care given to everything from treasured family photographs and original artwork to jerseys, needlework, heirlooms and one-of-a-kind memorabilia. This is far more than a traditional frame shop. The business offers full-service custom framing and specializes in conservation framing, shadowboxes, canvas stretching, jerseys, object framing, multiple openings and unique custom projects. Customers value the tremendous selection as well as the hands-on design expertise that helps them create something truly special. With decades of history, an established customer base, stellar reviews and a reputation for outstanding quality and client care, this is a wonderful opportunity for a creative entrepreneur or an existing framing, art, design or home décor business looking to expand. The foundation has already been built—the next owner can step in and carry a trusted local business into its next chapter. Significant opportunity exists for a new owner to grow this already profitable business, as the current owners have relied primarily on word-of-mouth, repeat clientele and their outstanding Yelp and online reviews, with very little active marketing. Industry trends continue to favor personalized home décor, custom framing, gallery walls, memorabilia preservation and meaningful, one-of-a-kind pieces, while online customization and digital ordering are creating additional avenues for growth. A new owner could capitalize on the business’s stellar reputation and loyal customer base through targeted digital and social media marketing, stronger utilization of its outstanding Yelp reviews, an enhanced online presence, partnerships with interior designers, artists, photographers and local businesses, and expanded online ordering and design services. With decades of goodwill already established, there is meaningful opportunity to introduce modern marketing strategies and reach an entirely new generation of customers without changing the personalized service and craftsmanship that have made the business successful. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/deerfield/listings/Profitable-Custom-Framing-Business-

Code Ninjas Franchise — Turnkey Center in Affluent DuPage Cty
$ 280,000
Rare opportunity to acquire an established Code Ninjas — the world's largest kids coding franchise (300+ centers) — serving one of Chicagoland's most affluent, education-obsessed western suburban markets in DuPage County. This is a turnkey center with approximately $282,000 invested: a brand-new 2025 build-out ($150K), $25K of equipment, $80K furniture and fixtures, and and $27K protected franchise territory rights. The center relocated in May 2025 to a right-sized 1,600 sq ft space at just $3,800/month NNN — cutting occupancy costs roughly in half and setting up a lean go-forward cost structure. Building a comparable new Code Ninjas runs $177K–$385K per the franchisor's FDD, plus 18–24 months of ramp with zero students and zero revenue. The center generated $300,844 of revenue and approximately $113K of seller's discretionary earnings in 2024, demonstrating what the location can do at full enrollment. Trailing-twelve-month revenue is $190K with roughly break-even earnings following the relocation year — a clear recovery play for a hands-on owner-operator willing to rebuild core enrollment on a proven platform. Revenue is anchored by recurring coding memberships plus a strong ~$44K/year summer and day-camp business, supported by durable community relationships, including: *A multi-year partnership with a leading local park district (camps, day camps and clubs) *A high-school internship program with a top-rated public school district's career office *STEM mini-course programs across the district's elementary schools These channels provide enrollment pipeline, local credibility, and B2B program revenue that a new build could not replicate. The sale includes all FF&E, the 2025 leasehold build-out, and franchise rights. The franchisor provides comprehensive training and onboarding for new owners; the seller will provide 20 business days of transition training. Seller financing is available for a qualified buyer. Ideal for a first-time owner-operator, an existing children's-education franchisee adding a territory, or an education-minded entrepreneur. Confidential details — including exact location, financial statements, and partner agreements — are available upon signing an NDA and buyer qualification. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/northsangabrielvalley/listings/Code-Ninjas-Franchise-—-Turnkey-Center-in-Affluent-DuPage-Cty
