301 W NORTHWEST HWY, BARRINGTON IL 60010
Great 2nd gen ±2,300 SF restaurant on Route 14 in Barrington with major QSR redevelopment upside
Marketing description
QSR/Redevelopment Opportunity on Major Barrington Corridor – Drive-Thru Approved
A rare opportunity to acquire a freestanding ±2,300 SF building with drive-thru potential along one of the most heavily trafficked corridors in Barrington—just ahead of a transformative multi-lane infrastructure expansion of Route 14 (Northwest Highway). Situated on a 0.252-acre parcel with B-1 zoning, this property offers immediate value for QSR operators, coffee concepts, and developers seeking a strategic infill site in a high-income, underserved trade area.
Previously approved for a drive-thru by the Village of Barrington (former Dunkin’ Donuts submission), this site combines strong fundamentals with massive upside. The location sits in a fast-food desert—no Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Five Guys, or Burger King nearby—and recent franchise interest signals strong demand.

Currently occupied by a Polish restaurant tenant at $2,450/month with 2.5 years remaining, the property is being marketed for its redevelopment and drive-thru potential. Ownership believes the tenant would consider an early lease termination to accommodate an owner-occupant or national operator.
This is a rare chance to preemptively secure a presence in Barrington’s next wave of commercial growth.
