Three New Retail Stores Proposed At Site Of Former Highway 97 Lotto Store
May 17, 2022
Three new retail stores are being proposed for Highway 97 in Davisville at the Florida-Alabama state line.
The stores would be located in a small strip mall at the site of the former O’Yes Lotto store. Two of the stores are proposed to be 1,375 square feet, and the third is proposed at 2,000 square feet. There are 16 proposed parking spaces. The northern side of most of the four acre parcel is the state line.
The project is in the pre-application process before the Escambia Development Review Committee and would go through several additional steps before any construction could begin.
The lottery retailer has been closed since the owner was shot and killed in a robbery attempt on November 6, 2012.

“Does anyone know what 3 businesses are going in there.? Nick assumes its not going to be a Dollar General but do we know that?? ”
No one knows. the three spaces combined are not big enough for a dollar general
Does anyone know what 3 businesses are going in there.? Nick assumes its not going to be a Dollar General but do we know that?? Speaking of Dollar General, been considering buying stock in it since they seem to have the inside hook in ESCAMBIA COUNTY!!
RIP Tommy Kroll…………
The almost “accidents” by the goose are because the city doesn’t cut back the trees by the guard rails. Can’t see coming out of there & folks are driving way to fast thru there…..
I’m all for more useful business in this general area but I do agree that it is already dangerous in that spot. They will definitely have to do something with the road there. I’m surprised there are not more accidents in front of the Gray Goose.
I’m disappointed that Escambia County & developers think they need to cut down all the wooded areas and fill up every space with businesses and subdivisions. They don’t seem to care about the green spaces anymore, just the green in their pockets.
At least it isn’t a Dollar General…
Unfortunately, stupid and careless can not be fixed in many instances, and are not reasons to deny legitimate businesses on a commercial highway!
@Great … do you people have to complain about everything? As if the atmore area isn’t already bland enough
Greeeat because that area of the road isn’t dangerous enough with the Gray Goose right there. I remember the old lotto store being there, and I also remember how much worst traffic was, but now there’s even more traffic and even more careless drivers.
