In a $6.1 million deal that closed Thursday, restauranters Roger and Suzanne Perry sold the Datz and Dough South Tampa properties to a development group in Tampa. Tyler Hudson, partner at Gardner Hudson Brewer PA and the developers’ legal representative said Datz and Dough will slow down operations over the next several weeks. Datz and Dough are located at 2602 & 2616 S. Macdill Avenue in South Tampa.

The Datz property is 9,060 SF and Dough is 3,255 SF. Datz opened their South Tampa location in 2009 and became known for their over-the-top menu offerings. The St. Petersburg and Riverview locations are remaining open at the time of this article.

The Datz building will remain a restaurant, with the Dough building becoming a related concept to the restaurant – not a dining concept but still related. The new restaurant concept and its operators are not being released at this time, but it is said that they want the space to become a neighborhood concept. Hudson filed a rezoning request for the Dough property on Monday requesting to change it from bakery to commercial recreational use. A hearing before the Tampa City Council is expected to be held before the end of 2023.
