New Chick-fil-A Approved for Former Dodge’s Property on Nine Mile Road
August 10, 2026
The Escambia County Development Review (DRC) has given final approval to a new Chick-fil-A on East Nine Mile Road at the site of a former convenience store.
The proposed development consists of the demolition of the existing building and the construction of a new 5,394-square-foot, single-story restaurant with 86 associated parking spaces and a drive-through on a 1.80-acre parcel.
The restaurant will move from its current location in front of Target to the site of the former Dodge’s Southern Style convenience store, which closed abruptly in September 2024.
Site access will continue to be provided via the existing driveway connections on Nine Mile Road and Plainfield Avenue.
The DRC development order is valid for 18 months.
