  • Restaurant Opportunity at the Base of Luxury Opportunity
    RARE RETAIL/RESTAURANT OPPORTUNITY AT THE BASE OF LUXURY OPPORTUNITY Eleven33 is a mixed-use development that provides a unique opportunity for retailers and restaurant operators to secure a home in the densely populated and affluent communities of Oak Park and River Forest. The submarket, given the scarcity of quality retail space, has always provided a heightened barrier of entry for numerous retailers and restaurant operators. Given the collection of existing retailers and restaurants in the immediate retail trade area, the submarket is clearly a point of destination for many consumers. Eleven33 can provide such a home for discriminating retailers and restaurant operators. THE TRADE AREA The subject retail opportunity is centrally located within the Oak Park/River Forest submarket. The submarket is just 10 miles west from downtown Chicago and is a vibrant marketplace with a rich heritage and legacy. There is a massive collection of Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes in the area, including the architect’s own home and studio. Oak Park is also the birthplace of Nobel Laureate and Pulitzer Prize winning author Ernest Hemingway. In contrast with other communities throughout Chicago’s suburbs, Oak Park has experienced a significant number of luxury mixed- use developments over the past few years. The surrounding retail district is a collection of eclectic boutique shops, national retailers and a varied array of full service restaurants mimicking the personality of a diverse and affluent residential base.

For the two years prior to the pandemic, traffic declined by an average of 2.2% each month. Operators were forced to compensate with price increases, which largely offset the negative traffic. The resurgence in global equities—including restaurant stocks which are up 80% from April lows—has partially masked the continued pain points being felt on the ground across a large part of the sector. Restaurant publicly traded equities Government-mandated lockdowns beginning in March led to massive continue to recover, up 80% from declines in same-store sales for all concepts, especially those without the pandemic-driven lows robust off-premise infrastructures. Drive-thru capabilities, innovative off- premise solutions, and warmer weather helped fuel a rebound leading into the summer. However, the December resurgence of new COVID-19 cases and accompanying restrictions, as well as the cooling weather in Northern states, drove further setbacks in same-store sales moving into 2021.

  • Liberals Eat Here. Conservatives Eat There. - Washington Wire - WSJ
    Liberals Eat Here. Conservatives Eat There. - Washington Wire - WSJ http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2014/05/02/liberals-eat-here-conservative... May 2, 2014, 7:56 AM ET ByReid J. Epstein The most liberal Americans shop at Whole Foods and Trader Joe’s supermarkets, according to an Experian Marketing Services gauge. Bloomberg News Can you tell a person’s politics based on where they buy their groceries or hamburger? In their front page story Thursday about how demographic shifts in suburbs are changing the politics of America, the Journal’s Elizabeth Williamson and Dante Chinni write about how the arrival of restaurants like P.F. Chang’s and Chipotle are telltale signs that conservative exurbs are turning liberal. Experian Marketing Services does a rolling survey of thousands of people who patronize restaurants and retail establishments to determine, among other things, the politics of stores’ customers. The survey assigns liberal and conservative scores to different establishments based on their customers’ political preferences. A 100 is average, a 120 is 20% more liberal or conservative than average, 80 is 20% less than average, and so on. Some places, like Burger King , have liberal and conservative indexes that are both below average because they attract more independents. There are clearly regional biases here. The supermarket chain Harris Teeter scores 113 on the conservative index, probably because its stores are predominately located in the Southeast. Oregon-based supermarket Fred Meyer, which is owned by Kroger and has stores in the Pacific Northwest, scores 154 on the liberal index. Among fast-food establishments, the most liberal customers eat at Au Bon Pain.
