Sloopy’s has always has been about family. Since the early 1940’s,when the McArdle family owned a house on Highland Ave with a fairlylarge patio. In 1953, an application was made to the city of ManhattanBeach for $500 (a lot of money at the time) to turn the patio into adining area and the house into an outdoor kitchen. Hence, the “BeachHamburger Stand” was born.

In 1967, the secondowners of the patio, Nicole and Guy, renamed the patio to Sloopy’sBeach Café when Guy noticed his wife rockin to the song “Hang onSloopy” on the radio. Nicole, Guy, and family operated Sloopy’s until1989 when Helen and Peter purchased the business.
