PLEASANT PRAIRIE, January 26, 2026 – The Barry Company is pleased to announce the sale of Jelly Belly’s former warehouse and retail facility, totaling 248,098 square feet on 46.34 acres, located in Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin. The iconic candy company, which rose to national prominence in the 1980s and famously became a favorite of President Ronald Reagan, who kept jars of jelly beans on his desk, closed its operations at the facility in 2020. The property was sold on January 16, 2026, to 9th and Main, LLC as an investment sale.

The facility is fully occupied by Rust-Oleum and SMT Packaging, providing stable in-place tenancy. These tenants were procured by The Barry Company after Jelly Belly moved operations out of the facility. Strategically positioned in a high-growth corridor serving both the greater Chicago and greater Milwaukee markets, the property benefits from strong regional industrial demand, excellent transportation access, and a deep labor pool.

Kevin Barry and David Buckley of The Barry Company represented the seller in this transaction and served as sole brokers on the deal.
