Overview
This 1.29-acre commercial property features 548 feet of frontage on I-44, offering high visibility with approximately 35,000 cars and trucks passing daily.

The lower level contains a 2-bedroom apartment for additional rental income. A second building, constructed in 1950, formerly housed the Thrifty Inn Roadside Diner, encompassing approximately 800 sq ft, and also includes a 2-bedroom apartment downstairs, providing further income potential. The current owner successfully operated Route 66 Motors & Nostalgia Gift Shop for 35 years, selling classic and late-model vehicles, memorabilia, and petroliana to travelers. The property includes a deep well, two commercial septic tanks, and three steel beams set in concrete from a previous double-sided billboard, ready for custom signage visible from both directions on I-44, approximately ¾ mile out.
