Belleville, Illinois
Prime Location. Complete Restaurant. Ready to Go.
$ 50,000
Located in the heart of the Downtown Belleville Historic District, this beautifully maintained three‑story commercial building offers a rare turnkey restaurant opportunity plus multiple additional revenue streams above. The property sits in one of Belleville’s most walkable, high‑visibility corridors—surrounded by shops, nightlife, and steady foot traffic. The first floor offers approximately 2,100 sq. ft. of fully built‑out restaurant space. Formerly home to Chaos Sushi Bar & Grill, the concept operated successfully before closing due to medical reasons—not performance. The entire restaurant buildout, equipment, and furniture package is available for purchase at $50,000, giving a new owner the ability to step in and launch immediately with a modern, fully equipped setup. Above the restaurant, the building unlocks multiple additional revenue channels: Second Floor Event Space — A large, flexible layout ideal for a banquet hall, private event center, meeting rooms, offices, or additional hospitality concepts. This floor has its own front stairwell entrance, allowing guests to access events without disrupting restaurant operations. Third Floor Apartment — A fully furnished one‑bathroom apartment perfect for owner use, staff housing, or rental income. The private stairwell provides seamless access and keeps residential traffic separate from the business. The real estate is offered at $720,000, presenting a compelling opportunity for operators, investors, or entrepreneurs seeking a multi‑income property in a thriving historic district. With turnkey restaurant space, event‑center potential, and a rentable apartment, this building delivers strong versatility and long‑term upside in one of Belleville’s most established commercial corridors. For business or restaurant details, contact Mike Mueller at 618‑917‑5573. For real estate information, reach Bill Roland at REO STL, LLC: 636‑345‑3426. A well‑run, well‑positioned restaurant at 126 E Main St could realistically grow into a $1.2M–$2M annual revenue operation if the concept fits the neighborhood. The location has high visibility, strong event‑driven traffic such as Oktoberfest and Art on the Square. There is also a supportive downtown ecosystem with popular restaurants within one block of each other. When you add the 2nd-floor banquet/event center and the 3rd‑floor rental unit to the restaurant model at 126 E Main St, Belleville, the building becomes a multi‑stream revenue asset capable of generating additional revenue! https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/stlouiswest/listings/Prime-Location-Complete-Restaurant-Ready-to-Go-

Belleville, Illinois
Turnkey Belleville Auto Repair Shop-Fully Equipped For Sale!
$ 170,000
Duffy’s Automotive, a trusted and well‑known shop in Belleville, Illinois, is available for purchase. After serving the community for 50 years, the business closed two years ago when the owner stepped away because of health reasons. The facility remains in exceptionally clean, organized, and well‑maintained condition. All major equipment, tools, and shop infrastructure remain in place, making this an operationally turnkey opportunity for a new owner who wants to reopen quickly and with minimal startup cost. This setup is ideal for an individual wanting to start his own auto repair business, a multi‑shop operator expanding into the Belleville market, or an investor seeking a value‑add opportunity. This shop benefits from excellent visibility, easy access, and a long history of community recognition. The “Duffy’s” name still carries goodwill among local customers. For more information about this turnkey operation, contact the listing agent with Transworld Business Advisors (Mike Mueller) at 618-917-5573 or mikemueller@tworld.com. Real Estate included through REO STL LLC, 636-400-6100 Listing Broker-William Roland Jr. Duffy’s Auto Repair is uniquely positioned for strong, immediate, and long‑term growth. After serving Belleville for 50 years, the shop built deep community trust and a loyal customer base that has gone underserved since the business closed. This creates a rare opportunity for a new owner to step into a fully equipped, meticulously maintained facility and quickly recapture demand. Key growth drivers include: Legacy goodwill — Customers who relied on Duffy’s for decades are still in the market and ready to return once the shop reopens. Pent‑up demand — With the shop closed for two years, local drivers have been forced to seek service elsewhere, creating an immediate pipeline of potential returning customers. Aging vehicles — The average vehicle age continues to rise, increasing the need for maintenance, diagnostics, and repairs. Turnkey setup — With equipment already in place and the shop in excellent condition, a new operator can open quickly and begin generating revenue with minimal startup cost. Real estate available separately — Ownership of the property can stabilize overhead and increase long‑term equity value. https://tworld.com/locations/Illinois/stlouiswest/listings/Turnkey-Belleville-Auto-Repair-Shop-Fully-Equipped-For-Sale-

Semi-Absentee Thriving Sports Bar with Loyal Following
$ 1,100,000
An outstanding opportunity to acquire a profitable, long-established sports bar with a loyal customer base, strong community presence, and a proven track record of success. With decades of operating history, this well-known establishment has become a popular destination for locals seeking great drinks, exciting entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere. The bar offers a wide selection of beer, wine, and liquor, complemented by vending services and a variety of entertainment options. Guests enjoy regularly scheduled karaoke, NFL Sunday Ticket, pool tables, games, and a spacious outdoor patio equipped with televisions. Whether gathering with friends, watching their favorite teams, or enjoying a night out, customers appreciate the relaxed, friendly environment that has made this establishment a local favorite. The business operates from a highly visible standalone building with ample parking and excellent road exposure. Ownership completed extensive renovations during the COVID-19 pandemic, investing significantly in modernizing the facility and enhancing the overall customer experience. The combination of updated amenities, indoor entertainment, and inviting outdoor space provides an attractive setting for both regular patrons and new customers. One of the most appealing aspects of this opportunity is its established semi-absentee ownership structure. Over more than two decades, the husband-and-wife ownership team has developed efficient operating procedures and assembled a dependable, experienced staff, allowing them to step away from many daily responsibilities. Neither owner regularly bartends or provides entertainment, and their combined involvement is approximately 20 hours per week. This structure offers an incoming buyer the opportunity to acquire an established operation without the demands typically associated with hands-on bar ownership. The business has demonstrated strong financial performance, generating more than $1 million in annual revenue in multiple recent years. Its established reputation, loyal clientele, and consistent customer traffic provide a solid foundation for continued success. Additional growth opportunities exist through expanded entertainment offerings, themed events, private parties, increased marketing efforts, and creative promotions designed to attract new customers and maximize revenue. After 24 successful years of ownership, the husband-and-wife team is ready to transition into retirement. They have thoroughly enjoyed operating the business, building lasting relationships with customers, and becoming an integral part of the community. Their success has allowed them to accumulate substantial outside investments, providing the financial freedom to retire and pursue the next chapter of their lives. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a profitable, established sports bar with an experienced staff, a loyal following, limited owner involvement, and meaningful growth potential. Whether you are an experienced hospitality operator or an entrepreneur seeking an established business, this opportunity offers an attractive combination of lifestyle, profitability, and future upside. A significant growth opportunity exists in expanding the bar's entertainment and event offerings to increase customer traffic and overall sales. The business has successfully hosted karaoke for approximately 24 years, demonstrating the value of entertainment in attracting and retaining customers. A new owner could build upon this foundation by introducing additional themed events, private parties, live entertainment, special promotions, and other recurring activities designed to increase traffic, particularly during traditionally slower periods. https://tworld.com/locations/North-Carolina/eastern-nc/listings/Semi-Absentee-Thriving-Sports-Bar-with-Loyal-Following
