Former Big Lots Store available FOR SALE or FOR LEASE. This is an excellent opportunity for an owner-user, a future investment with a future tenant, or as a redevelopment opportunity in one of La Salle County’s busiest shopping district with 15,400 VPD along busy IL Route 251. Seconds from I-80, this busy signaled corner location is surrounded by national big box tenants, fast-food restaurants, a large bowling alley, personal services, and nearby industrial users. With Peru’s versatile B-4 zoning, a multitude of retail, light industrial, and personal services would be allowable uses.

The main interior offers 15′-9″ clear height while the entryway and cart corral area features a 10′ clear height. There are 2 separate restrooms, a temporary wall to separate the sales and storage areas, and walls do not go to the metal roof allowing flexibility within the space. The building is fully sprinklered & monitored, with emergency exits throughout, plus fire and smoke detectors. The recently sealed parking lot features 140+ painted spaces with a loading dock and 7′-8″x8′ overhead door along the east side of the building. Signage includes exterior options, plus a large pylon sign visible from I-80 interchange. Easy access onto the site on both the south and east sides with 2-way traffic and no barrier. Please review Additional Documents for allowable uses, or confirm with Listing Agent or City.
