Cushman & Wakefield announced that Penn Station East Coast Subs has executed a direct lease for 1,586 square feet in Skokie, Illinois for the company’s fifth Chicago-area restaurant.
Brent Wayburn of C&W’s Retail Services group represented Penn Station in the transaction.
Penn Station has gained notoriety for its grilled cheese steaks, fresh-cut fries, and other menu items. The shop will be located in Village Crossing shopping center at Touhy Avenue and Niles Center Road / Carpenter Road in Skokie, Illinois.
The shopping center has around 20 existing retail and restaurant tenants including AMC Theaters, Jewel-Osco, Best Buy, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Chipotle, and Corner Bakery, as well as numerous smaller retailers and restaurants.
With close to 30 years experience in business and annual sales of more that $160 million, the company is planning to open more Chicago-area locations. Potential future shop locations include the Loop, Lincoln Park, Streeterville and River North in Chicago, as well as suburban locations such as Oak Park, Evanston, and Niles.
The Penn Station sub shop at Village Crossing plans to open later this year.
