County Approves New Foosackly’s Restaurant On West Nine Mile Road

September 25, 2025

The Escambia County Development Review Committee on Wednesday approved a new Foosackly’s restaurant on West Nine Mile.

The 4,416-square-foot restaurant will be located on a 2.14-acre parcel at 2605 West Nine Mile Road, at the corner of Nine Mile Road and 8 Mile Creek Road. That’s about halfway between the Walmart at the Nine Mile and Pine Forest intersection and I-10.

Foosackly’s is a chicken restaurant founded in Mobile in 2000. The company’s website lists 14 existing locations in Alabama and two in Northwest Florida — one at 1690 East Nine Mile Road and one on Mobile Highway.

    We need a nice restaurant, not another fast food restaurant and definitely not another chicken place.

    Will be nice to have one on this end of 9 mile. Won’t have to fight the traffic on 9 mile to get to the other one.. Now if we could only get a Raisin’ Canes near here!

    I would think with Chick- fil-a across from the other 9 mile location, the current parking lot situation at that location, Foosackly’s would close up that location and capitalize on that new location as the more profitable one. Beulah growth has not slowed down. Just my opinion!

    Holy bejeezus I’m so happy we’re finally getting a chicken finger restaurant in this town! I don’t know what we’d do without them. It’s something that’s been missing for a long time. /s

    I like chicken fingers, but this area is beginning to be saturated with restaurants that specialize in them. We already have another Foosackly’s, a Zaxbys, and Slim Chickens on Nine Mile.

    So many of these companies overbuild and then end up closing them down.

    There is literally one down the road, approximately 6.5 miles away …. Why not build something better? But I guess it’s better then another car wash
