GRIT Talks - Scott Kammerer

Grit Talks are a quarterly speaker and networking event featuring interesting local leaders answering seven questions over fifteen minutes.

Woven together, their answers will illustrate a common story. Failure… overcoming it… and the resulting success.

Speakers will be business owners and leaders from our community whom we know, or should know with stories of inspiration to share.

Scott Kammerer is the CEO of SoDel Concepts, which owns the SoDel family of businesses, including Southern Delaware Brewing, Highwater Management, SoDel Ventures, and Surf Bagel.

Under his leadership, SoDel Concepts has grown to 26 restaurants and has been recognized as the second-largest employer in Sussex County, Delaware.

Scott has earned numerous awards, including:

• Marvin S. Gilman Superstar in Business Award – Delaware State Chamber of Commerce
• Cornerstone Award for Lifetime Achievement – Delaware Restaurant Association
• Best Business Leader in Delaware – Delaware News Journal
• Named among the most influential restaurant executives in the nation – Nation’s Restaurant News

After leading the hospitality industry through the pandemic as Chairman of the Delaware Restaurant Association, Scott earned a board seat on the National Restaurant Association. He is also proud that Delaware Business Times named SoDel Concepts the Best Family-Owned Business in Delaware.
