Turnkey Restaurant For Sale On Lake Of The Ozarks: Daddio’s Is Ready For New Owners

With well over a billion-dollars in real estate sold and massive numbers of visitors last year, the Lake of the Ozarks economy has never been hotter, especially for businesses on the lakefront. For an entrepreneur wanting to capitalize on the moment, the former Daddio’s Soda Shop is for sale, and it’s a (turn)key opportunity.

Formerly known as “The Dummy” and “Fishtails,” this 1.65-acre property on the 6.5MM last hosted Daddio’s Soda Shop. Unfortunately, the former owners were only able to operate the property for half a season before unforeseen health issues forced them to sell the property. But in that time they made a number of renovations to the property, and the next owner will reap the benefits.

“This property was completely remodeled last year, with an updated kitchen and refreshed world-class patio. It’s all freshly painted and they added all new rip-rap along the shoreline. Plus, of course, the vintage bumper car experience!” said realtor Cierra Grein of The Grein Team, who has the listing for the property.

From an iconic 1950s-style bar, a beautiful view of the Lake, an all-new surround sound system and a 70s-era bumper car track that’s great for all ages, this property has plenty of Americana nostalgia and unique charm. The business also includes a stage area for bands and entertainment, with stadium sound that covers the full premises. Grein points out this would be an incredible venue for wedding parties and other events. And at a location that has been housing thriving restaurants for more than 30 years, the Daddio’s property has a proven track record.

“It’s got outstanding Lake views and it’s a great location by water,” Grein said. “The seller also restored the wave breaks: had them re-anchored and welded, and they’re ready to go for this summer season.”

The bar is conveniently located in on the 6.5 Mile Marker of the Gravois Arm of the Lake, just across the channel from the very popular Coconuts Caribbean Bar & Grill. This is one of the busiest areas on the Lake, positioning the Daddio’s property as a potential top spot on the Gravois.

And it’s not just boaters who love this location; the restaurant gets plenty of traffic from locals too by land.

“The owner really poured his heart and soul into it. It was only open for half a season, but the reviews were really, really good,” said Grein. “And they got a lot of locals who came and enjoyed it too. It’s really a restaurant for everyone. We need more family-friendly establishments on the water like Daddio’s.”

Daddio’s is completely turnkey and ready to go. So none of the headache of major renovations, furniture-buying or any of the other hassles of getting a building ready to open. Even the name, menus, signage and Daddio’s website are included with the purchase.

“It’s ready for someone to walk in, flip on the lights and open it up for a profitable summer season,” Grein said.

If a restaurant is only the start of your plans, Daddio’s also has plenty of space to expand. From apartments above the restaurant, to a gift shop, to a convenience store for boaters, Daddio’s has opportunities for diversifying your business. With the seawall work and infrastructure, new owners have options to further develop this prime lakefront property without starting from scratch.

For an out-of-town buyer looking to settle at the Lake or anyone worried about keeping workers, the owner is also selling a residential property only minutes form Daddio’s that would be ideal for employee housing or a forever home for the restaurant’s new owners.

So if you’re an entrepreneur or have dreams of being one, Daddio’s may be the property you’ve been looking for. This world-class bar and entertainment center is sure to be a summer hit at the Lake of the Ozarks and a unique opportunity for whoever chooses to buy it.
