Relevant Retail Business Service

The Village of Northbrook, Illinois, is seeking a business owner and operator to establish and run a relevant retail business in its downtown area. The agency intends for this business to serve both the general public and the daily commuters who utilize the local Metra commuter rail line stop. To meet the community's needs, the permitted scope of retail operations includes alcohol sales, dry cleaning services, tobacco sales, and financial services such as automatic teller machines. The agency requires that the selected operator perform all associated work offsite, away from government facilities, though the physical business must be situated to serve the downtown commuter location. Only organizations based within the United States are eligible to submit proposals for this opportunity. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the financial structure of the agreement. Interested bidders must submit any questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 18, 2026. The agency will evaluate proposals based on the operator's ability to successfully manage the specified retail services and effectively serve the targeted commuter and public demographics.
