A new sit-down breakfast and lunch restaurant could be coming soon to East Nine Mile Road, according to the project’s filings with Escambia County.
The name of the restaurant has not been shared yet, but the chain has 60 locations across the U.S., according to the project’s developers in an email accompanying their first application.
The project’s developers initially applied for approval from Escambia County’s Development Review Committee in late May and had a different location on East Nine Mile Road planned for the new restaurant.
The developers of the restaurant applied to the Development Review Committee again on Oct. 11 for approval of the project with a new location. The Development Review Committee discussed the updated project during pre-application meetings on Nov. 1 and its approval is still under review.
