Thriving Pizza Sports Pub with Gaming

Overview: This well-established pizza sports pub, renowned for its Chicago-style offerings, is a turnkey operation in central Illinois. The restaurant spans 4,518 sq. ft. and seats 75, featuring a full bar and video gaming. Since its inception in 2018, it has achieved impressive sales, surpassing $982,000 in 2025. Known for its signature thin-crust and deep-dish pizzas, the venue serves a diverse clientele including families and businesses. The pub boasts a strong online presence, positive customer feedback, and partnerships with third-party delivery services. Its extensive equipment includes a rotating pizza oven and a comprehensive bar setup, making this a rare opportunity to acquire a fully-equipped franchise with a loyal customer base and a favorable lease. Located in a busy retail plaza in Tazewell County, it benefits from high visibility and easy access to major highways. The franchise is part of a family-owned chain established in 1964, now expanding across the nation. The current owner, who has operated the business since 2025, is looking to downsize. The business is absentee-owned, with a lease of $5,417 per month, expiring in February 2035. Growth opportunities abound, including enhancing bar sales and expanding catering services.
