3,799 SqFt Fully Equipped Bakery & Production-Scale Commercial Kitchen Far NW Side of Chicago - For Lease! "Rare Turnkey Food-Production Opportunity in Chicago's Gladstone Park/Norwood Park Trade Area" Exceptional opportunity to lease the entire 3,799 sqft ground floor of this historic bakery property at 5742-5744 N Milwaukee Ave on Chicago's far nw side. Formerly associated with the longtime Gladstone Park Bakery & currently home to New Paradise Bakery, this established food-service location combines an attractive customer-facing bakery/café with a large, fully equipped commercial production kitchen - ready for the next operator. The 2-story building dates to 1920, while the ground-floor bakery underwent a major renovation in 2022, including updated plumbing/electrical systems & extensive food-production improvements. Rather than taking over an empty shell & spending substantial time/capital designing, permitting & equipping a commercial kitchen, a new tenant can step into an established food-production facility with the infrastructure already in place. EXTRAORDINARY EQUIPMENT PACKAGE The landlord-owned FF&E remain with the premises for the lease term & renewals, providing an enormous head start for the next operator. The extensive equipment package includes a Middleby Marshall 6-shelf oven, Hobart rolling rack oven w/racks, multiple Hobart commercial mixers, twin-arm dough mixer, spiral mixer, Baxter proofers, 2-pass dough sheeter, Baker's Pride mini pizza oven, 12' exhaust hood, fryers, range w/flat-top grill, Hobart slicer, gelato machine, milk pasteurizer, cookie dough stamper, shrink-wrap machine, dough racks & numerous commercial prep tables. Cold-storage capacity is equally impressive with a 18'x10' walk-in cooler & 20'x20' walk-in freezer + additional refrigeration & freezers. The retail area is also nicely outfitted with refrigerated pastry display cases, gelato display case, sandwich station, POS, tables & seating, allowing an operator to combine high-volume production with a customer-facing retail component. BAKERY LOCATION WITH HISTORY This address has a long association with baking on Chicago's nw side. The former Gladstone Park Bakery became a neighborhood institution known especially for decorated cakes. New Paradise subsequently transformed the property into a Sicilian-inspired bakery, café & gelateria which opened here in 2022 following extensive renovations. That history gives the next tenant something virtually impossible to recreate in a new location - a property that area residents already recognize as a destination for baked goods/specialty foods. Truly a unique opportunity to lease a large, fully built-out & extensively equipped bakery/commercial kitchen on 1 of Chicago's established nw side commercial corridors. Bring your concept, recipes & staff - the expensive infrastructure is already here! PRIME MILWAUKEE AVE LOCATION Located along the well-established Milwaukee Ave commercial corridor serving Gladstone Park, Norwood Park, Jefferson Park & surrounding nw side neighborhoods, the property benefits from a dense residential customer base, strong household incomes & excellent accessibility. MULTIPLE POSSIBLE USES A rare chance to lease a fully equipped, production-scale bakery/commercial kitchen with established retail frontage & deep equipment package, avoiding the tremendous cost/time involved in building one from scratch. The combination of substantial production capacity & retail frontage makes this property ideally suited for an established bakery expanding to another location, wholesale bakery, commissary/central production kitchen, catering company, specialty food manufacturer, ghost kitchen or multi-brand delivery operation. As well as a café, pizzeria, deli or prepared-food concept. Existing refrigeration, ovens, mixers, proofing equipment, display cases & production infrastructure provide tremendous flexibility!

Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating restaurant and food business acquisitions.
Cash-heavy businesses invite optimistic numbers; verify reported revenue against the processor and the returns before you trust a figure.
Remaining term, escalations, and assignment rights can make or break a restaurant; a strong concept on a non-transferable lease is a problem you inherit.
Margins are thin and move with wages and commodities; understand prime cost and how stable the kitchen and front-of-house staff are.
Liquor licenses, health permits, and inspection history are valuable and sometimes fragile; review the record before you commit.
A chef-owner or personality-driven concept may not transfer; understand the recipes, systems, and whether the brand survives new ownership.
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and the dining room wear and date; tour it with someone who knows the gear.
