2201 Pillsbury #60/70 Chico, CA 95926

Rare opportunity to lease a fully improved ±9,040 SF cosmetology, barbering, salon, and vocational training facility in Chico's Almond Orchard Shopping Center. Originally designed for Marinello Schools of Beauty and most recently occupied for approximately 10 years by Butte College's Cosmetology School, this highly specialized space offers a substantial existing buildout that would be difficult and costly to replicate. The floor plan includes a large open clinic/salon floor, numerous salon and barbering stations, shampoo areas, manicure/pedicure areas, facial/treatment rooms, classrooms, reception/lobby area, administrative offices, teacher/lounge areas, student support areas, storage, multiple restrooms, and several emergency exits. The plan identifies a prior total occupancy capacity of 226, making it well-suited for a high-volume training, education, salon, or service-based operator. The space also benefits from an abundance of convenient parking, with large parking fields located both in front of the premises and to the rear of the building, providing excellent access for students, instructors, staff, customers, and clients. The surrounding area offers a strong mix of immediately walkable shopping, dining, and service amenities, creating a convenient environment for daily users and supporting consistent traffic to the property. Located within the well-known Almond Orchard Shopping Center at 2201 Pillsbury Road, the property benefits from a central Chico location, easy access, strong surrounding retail synergy, and a rare existing beauty-school infrastructure. Ideal users include cosmetology schools, barbering academies, esthetics programs, massage/skin-care training facilities, beauty colleges, large salon concepts, booth-rental salons, medical aesthetics operators, or other vocational/educational users seeking an existing classroom-and-clinic style layout. Butte College is in possession, but can vacate as early as January 2027.
