124 E Main St, Staunton, IL 62088

Property Description

Are you ready to own the only kennel permitted within Staunton city limits? Then look no further than this rare commercial opportunity in the heart of downtown. 124 E Main Street is a fully operational, turnkey animal care facility sitting on over 14,000 square feet of lot space and built out across three levels to handle serious volume. The basement level features an extensive kennel operation with over 20 individual kennels of varying sizes, thoughtfully arranged to maximize capacity, along with dedicated storage to keep operations running efficiently behind the scenes. The main floor is the core of the day-to-day business, delivering a professional wash room, a full grooming salon, dedicated day boarding space, a cattery, and a private office, all flowing into a large outdoor patio and exercise area that gives animals room to move in a secure, fenced environment. The second floor offers multiple rooms with a kitchen, opening the door to owner-operator or live-in management, a setup that keeps overhead low and puts you steps away from your overnight boarding operation. In addition, the property includes a 2 bed/1 bath apartment currently rented at $900/month. A detached garage adds additional storage or equipment space, and the brick construction with chain link and vinyl fencing already in place means the infrastructure is ready to produce income without a long list of capital improvements standing between you and your first client. Not to mention the special-use permit barring any other kennel to operate within the city of Staunton; creating a protected market for your investment. The location itself is also a business asset. Staunton sits along Historic Route 66 just off Interstate 55 and Illinois Route 4, with more than 27,500 vehicles passing through daily, positioning this Main Street property in front of consistent, high-volume traffic. The city is just 25 minutes north of downtown St. Louis and 50 minutes from Springfield, giving the business a natural draw from a broad surrounding population looking for quality pet care without competitive city prices.
