3,799 SqFt Fully Equipped Bakery & Production-Scale Commercial Kitchen
Chicago, Cook County, Illinois 60646-6216, United States
Chicago, Cook County, IL 60646-6216, US
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!

What to know about restaurant and food business acquisitions
GW
Cofounder & CEO
Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating restaurant and food business acquisitions.
Read the lease like it's the deal
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.
Pressure-test prime cost — labor plus food
Margins are thin and move with wages and commodities; understand prime cost and how stable the kitchen and front-of-house staff are.
Confirm licenses and health standing transfer
Liquor licenses, health permits, and inspection history are valuable and sometimes fragile; review the record before you commit.
Test how much rides on the owner and concept
A chef-owner or personality-driven concept may not transfer; understand the recipes, systems, and whether the brand survives new ownership.
Budget for equipment and build-out condition
Kitchen equipment, refrigeration, and the dining room wear and date; tour it with someone who knows the gear.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common buyer questions for this market.
Yes, but they're scrutinized closely because margins are thin and failures common. Verifiable cash flow, a transferable lease, and systems that run without the owner make the difference.
