A high-income trade area, a captive blue-collar and white-collar workforce, and one of the biggest tourism years in Route 66 history — the conditions for a new food, beverage, or retail concept are uniquely strong right now.

Braidwood's dining scene is anchored by one nationally known destination (Polk-A-Dot Drive-In) and a Subway. There is no coffee shop, brewery, wine bar, or sit-down casual dining in the city proper — despite a workforce of thousands and year-round Route 66 tourist traffic. The next concept to open here inherits an underserved, ready-to-spend customer base.

This unique building sits on Historic Route 66 on a busy corner of Braidwood, IL, where IL Routes 129, 113 & 53 converge.​ Traditionally configured for Automotive Tire & Service, the space is equally well-suited for coffee shops, breweries, pizza, burger joints, ice cream, and other food & beverage concepts seeking a prime location with a story to tell.​

The building has been featured in documentaries, museums, and articles on Route 66 — giving any business here built-in exposure and a connection to one of America’s most iconic highways.​
