It’s a landmark, an icon on the southeast side of Glen Lake that’s been a destination for generations. Burdickville market Laker Shakes dates back to the 1950s, when it was the Glen Lake Workshop. When Rich Hargreaves purchased it – he was listing agent Peter Fisher’s schoolbus driver – he renamed it Laker Shakes. In 2008, sisters Mary and Ellen O’Neill purchased it from Hargreaves. They were intimately familiar with it, as their family was the longtime owners of La Becasse across the road before buying a cottage on the east side of Glen Lake.

Now they’ve decided it’s time for someone else to serve up Moomers ice cream, sandwiches, beer and wine, and the Michigan-made products that make up the store’s inventory. Work and live? Sure. The attached apartment offers two bedrooms and one bath, perfect for an owner-occupant to live and work onsite. Or it could be rented out on a long- or short-term basis. Located at 8995 S Dunns Farm Road, Maple City ($595,000; MLS #1908346), it’s across the street from a public access, and popular Old Settlers Park is just down the road. So it’s well situated for summer visitors who need a quick fix, or locals who don’t want to make the drive into town.
