Home Details

LOCATION = LOCATION = LOCATION!!!! 548 feet of frontage on I-44! If visibility is what you need to sell your stuff, this is a proven LOCATION with 35,000 cars and trucks passing within 200 feet of your front door every day. The original building, built in the early 1940s on historic Route 66, began as Delano Thrifty Service—selling gas and snacks, with a small one-bedroom apartment in the back. The lower level includes a 2-bedroom apartment for additional rental income. The second building, constructed in 1950, was once Thrifty Inn Roadside Diner (approx. 800 sq ft). It also includes a 2-bedroom apartment downstairs, offering even more income potential. The current owner operated Route 66 Motors & Nostalgia Gift Shop here for 35 successful years—selling classic and late-model vehicles, memorabilia, and petroliana to both Route 66 and I-44 travelers—until health and age shifted priorities. These iconic 1940s–1950s buildings are ready for your vision. Westbound I-44 travelers have easy access just 1 mile away at Exit 189—home to Love’s and the new QuikTrip Travel Stop. This 1.29-acre property recalls a time when life moved slower and drips with nostalgia. It features a deep well, two commercial septic tanks, and three steel beams set in concrete from a previous double-sided billboard—ready for your custom signage. The billboard can be seen by 35,000+ vehicles daily from both directions on I-44, ¾ mile out.
