IMAGE Studios to Open First IL Concept at Fox River Commons
The first IMAGE Studios concept in Illinois is set to open at Fox River Commons in Naperville later this month.
Husband-and-wife franchise owners Veronika and Greg Parranto signed a lease with Continental Realty Corporation (CRC) for 10,645 square feet of space at the 241,000-square-foot shopping center located at 704 Illinois Road Route 59. With this transaction, Fox River Commons is now 77 percent leased.
Kristin Perry, Leasing Manager for Continental Realty Corporation, and Brooke Spinell of Mid-America Real Estate represented the landlord, and Carlie Wilmes of Reimagine CRE represented the tenant in this transaction.
IMAGE Studios operates nearly 100 locations throughout 22 states. Approximately 35 new locations are expected to open in 2025, including two in the Chicago area, with seven additional sites expected in Chicagoland by different franchise owners.
Fox River Commons is anchored by International Fresh Market, Amish Furniture Gallery, Ball Factory, Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, pickleball facility The Picklr, interactive gaming experience Activate, and restaurants such as ENTOURAGE and VAI’s Italian Inspired Kitchen + Bar.
