Positioned on highly visible Chestnut Street in Union, NJ, this expansive commercial property offers a rare opportunity to secure a proven, high-functioning retail footprint with exceptional infrastructure already in place. Formerly home to a long-established liquor store, the main level delivers over 6,000 square feet of open retail space designed for efficiency, volume, and customer flow. A glass entry foyer with dual sets of doors creates a professional, welcoming arrival experience, while the wide-open layout, extended service counters, and multiple refrigerated display units support a range of retail, specialty, or food-and-beverage concepts. Two bathrooms, utility sinks, and existing refrigeration—including a walk-in freezer—add immediate operational value and reduce startup costs for the next occupant.
Behind the scenes, the property truly distinguishes itself. A private parking lot, dedicated shopping cart corral, and a rear loading dock streamline both customer access and daily operations—features that are increasingly hard to find in retail locations of this scale. The building is designed for logistics and inventory movement, highlighted by a roller conveyor system connecting the basement to the retail level, ideal for high-volume businesses, distributors, or operators requiring seamless stock transfer.
The 6,188-square-foot basement level offers substantial bonus space, featuring extensive storage capacity, a utility room, an office area, and an additional utility sink—making it ideal for back-of-house operations, inventory management, or administrative use. With solid construction, functional ceiling heights, and clear separation between retail and operational areas, this lower level significantly enhances the property’s flexibility and long-term value.
Surrounded by established businesses and benefitting from strong traffic patterns, this prime Union location is well-suited for investors or owner-users seeking a flagship retail presence, specialty market, beverage operation, or adaptive commercial use. With scale, infrastructure, and location already aligned, this Chestnut Street property offers the foundation to launch, expand, or reposition a business with confidence.
