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-

PRICED BELOW REAL ESTATE VALUE - 22 Acres Special Events Venue
$ 999,000
PRICED WELL BELOW THE APPRAISED VALUE OF THE REAL ESTATE ALONE, this beautiful 22-acre winery and wedding/event center is located convenient to the St Louis market. SELLERS MUST SELL. The business has been run part time by the owners who took other jobs during Covid, and revenue has declined as a result. Highly rated by customers, Google, The Knot, Weddingwire and others for its location, facilities, personnel, events management, wines and specialty products, this venue is a solid platform for growth. It is a perfect opportunity for an owner/operator who wants to build on a solid, well-established foundation or a restaurant, brewery, distillery, caterer or other business looking to expand. As an alternative, a developer could repurpose the property to any number of profitable uses including a music venue or even a residential community. For more information, contact the listing agent Charlie Scarlett with Transworld Business Advisors at cscarlett@tworld.com or (636) 400-5409 or our office at (636) 400-6100 stlwest@tworld.com and ask about listing number 1110202-287066.

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-

Established Learn-to-Swim Franchise at a Fraction of Build Cost
$ 450,000
Rare opportunity to acquire an established, fully built-out children's swim school operating under the leading national learn-to-swim franchise brand, in a dense, affluent suburban trade area of a major Texas metro. Opened in 2016 as one of the brand's earliest locations in the state, the school operates from an approximately 7,000 sq ft purpose-built indoor natatorium in a grocery-anchored neighborhood center. Building a comparable unit today costs roughly $1.6M to $3.7M per the franchisor's disclosure document, plus 12 to 18 months of permitting, construction and ramp. This facility is open, licensed and operating today. Highlights: - 653 children enrolled across 774 weekly class bookings - 4.9 stars across 500+ Google reviews, among the strongest reputations in the market - Recurring membership model: monthly tuition plus prepaid lesson packages - Trained team of 18; the full-time operating partner is willing to support the transition - Debt free, with no bank debt on the balance sheet - Long-term lease in place, subject to landlord consent to assignment - Recent franchisor-required capital upgrades already completed (dehumidification and flooring) Revenue has declined from its peak, and the business is priced on asset and replacement value rather than current earnings. The opportunity is significant capacity in a fixed-cost facility. A hands-on owner-operator who invests in local and digital marketing and staffs to enrollment has a clear path to returning toward prior performance levels. Ideal for existing franchisees of the brand, multi-unit youth enrichment operators, or an owner-operator seeking an established facility without the cost and risk of a ground-up build. Buyer subject to franchisor approval. Financial details, the Confidential Information Memorandum and lease terms are available to qualified buyers after an NDA is signed. https://tworld.com/locations/Texas/veritage/listings/Established-Learn-to-Swim-Franchise-at-a-Fraction-of-Build-Cost

Two Turnkey and Established Goldfish Swim Schools in Texas
$ 4,700,000
Skip the build-out and buy two swim schools in Texas that are already open, staffed and growing, under the best national brand Goldfish! Many franchise opportunities on the market today are still just a territory and a plan. These two locations from a leading national children's swim school franchise are fully built and operating in a fast-growing suburb outside a major US city. Purpose-built pools, an established team and a loyal base of subscription families are all in place. Both schools opened in 2025, and monthly revenue has grown about two-and-a-half times since launch, reaching roughly $886,000 over the last twelve months. According to ownership, the schools are tracking the franchisor's typical three-year path to profitability. A new owner steps in partway through that ramp, skipping the construction, permitting and start-up risk, with long-term leases and renewal options already secured. An ideal fit for an existing franchisee looking to expand in their current market or new market, or a multi-unit operator who wants proven locations instead of starting from scratch. The trailing twelve months of revenue across both schools total approximately $886,000, with combined pro forma revenue of approximately $1,765,000 in year three (which is about 1.5 years from now), 99% growth over current trailing twelve-month revenue. The ownership’s pro forma for the first location projects third-year revenue of approximately $882,000, an increase of 120% over its current trailing twelve months of about $400,000. The second location projects third-year revenue of approximately $882,000, an increase of more than 80% over its current trailing twelve months of about $486,000. These projections are based on growth in active students as the schools mature https://tworld.com/locations/Texas/veritage/listings/Two-Turnkey-and-Established-Goldfish-Swim-Schools-in-Texas
