If you've spent any time around McLean County, you already know the "big blue metal building" at 509 E. 7th Street in Livermore. Known for years as the Country Music Warehouse, this local landmark is packed with character, fresh 2024 updates, and massive potential for whatever business or venue you've been dreaming of building.
Step inside and the showstopper is immediately clear: a huge 50' x 100' (5,000 sq. ft.) dance floor right in the center of the building, covered by brand-new vinyl plank flooring installed in 2024. It's already set up to host a crowd with a dedicated stage area, a built-in concession stand, public restrooms, and plenty of room for tables and seating.
Plus, it's always been kept strictly smoke-free, so the inside is clean and fresh. Right now, the venue still draws a loyal crowd of regulars every Friday night who love having a spot to dance and socialize-meaning if you want to keep the live music going, you're stepping into a built-in community following from day one.
At the same time, the seller is completely open to the building taking on a brand-new life, so there are zero restrictions holding you back if you have a totally different commercial vision. You don't have to worry about keeping a big metal building comfortable, either-this place is serious about climate control with three commercial-sized HVAC units and two extra natural gas heaters, all sitting under a partial new roof put on in 2024.
Out back, there is also a 30' x 50' (1,500 sq. ft.) storage room with a roll-up door, making it a breeze to load in band gear, catering equipment, or business inventory. Why This Property is a Game-Changer: A Built-In Crowd (If You Want It): Keep the beloved Friday night dances rolling for steady weekend momentum while booking the rest of the week for weddings, banquets, and private events.
Huge New Bar & Event Upside: While the venue has always been alcohol-free, Livermore is officially wet now. A new owner can apply for an ABC license and immediately add beer and liquor sales-whether for Saturday night concerts, a full bar and grill, or high-profit private rentals.
Ready for a Complete Pivot: Have a non-venue business in mind? The wide-open footprint and 30' x 50' storage bay make it a natural fit for an auction house, vendor mall, indoor sports/fitness facility, church, or commercial shop space. Major Updates Done: With 2024 flooring and 2024 roof work already handled, the heavy lifting is out of the way.
Located right off Highway 431 in Livermore, it's an easy drive from Owensboro, Central City, Calhoun, and Hartford. You simply couldn't build a metal structure with this kind of square footage and mechanical setup for the price today!
