Circle K Planned For Highway 95A, Quintette Road
February 23, 2023
Plans were filed Tuesday with Escambia County Building Services for a new Circle K in Quintette.
The 5,200 square foot Circle K would be located on 2.31 acres at 2000 North Highway 95A, with driveway access from both Highway 95A and East Quintette Road.
The plans must first go to the Escambia County Development Review Committee before reaching the building permit stage.

It will be okay. People don’t remember the store at that intersection a few decades ago. I think it burned down, but I’m not sure. It surely won’t hurt anymore than a nasty, stinking, dirty, noisy cement pipe factory or tar facility that are already there.
Looks as though it’s being set back with the expectation that Quintette and 95A will be expanded in the coming years.
OK District 5 with 3 new subdivisions being built in Molino WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET A GROCERY STORE. It is in my opinion more house being built Commissioner would look at what is need for Molino residents. Dollar General and FAMILY Dollar stores are not GROCERY STORES.
This is a great idea, because it will force them to install a red light at an already god awful corner. As for growth and trying to say it shouldn’t be there or they don’t help the community— remember the company that builds there employs and spends — everybody makes the money — WalMart employees are your community just as Circle K employees are the community. The odds of any restaurant going up that direction is going to take a leap and a ton of money. Too volatile and too hard to get employees to undertake food right now!!
Great! A light will be great too! It’s a dangerous intersection! Now where’s the Chick-filet going? ❤️
And with the addition of this store, in comes a traffic signal (at about $115,000 taxpayer expense) and speed limits dropping from 65 to 55 or 45 mph.
The commute time is about to get longer.
WHAT!!!!! Again, a business that can’t find anyone to work at these places (just like Dollar General) so yes robbery will be on the list.
Oh and Jr, yes you can stop things like this from happening, it’s just the information isn’t put out to the public until the “deal” has been done. In our area, we stopped houses from being built by a scam builder who bought up a lot of land just so he could swoop in make BIG money, build crappy houses then LEAVE the area.
These businesses don’t care about the communities, just about money. Also, self-checkout is everywhere so maybe they won’t be employing many people. And the prices at Circle K’s are not cheap.
Perfect location for Stop and Rob…
Goodness…I’ve never read where so many are whining/complaining about something they CANNOT change. This is a very much needed project for this area. I understand the people not wanting anymore built out here in our paradise but growth is something we cannot control…we must adapt. I agree with those welcoming a light at this intersection…it’s been long needed there.
@Happy Camper…I wondered about that Popeyes as well…have t heard anything else about it. The Golf Course? Naw, I’m not thinking International Paper will allow Wal Mart to move in across the street. You see, IP owns that land and from what I understand, it’s not for sale.
Welcoming this new store and thank goodness it’s not a fast food or Dolla Gentral
I was hoping for a branch of McGuires Irish Pub, or simply a Publix/Walmart/Lowes Combination… But a gas station sounds just as feasible.
When HWY-90 shut down a couple of weeks ago due a bad accident there was a line backed up into Santa Rosa co. On a good day its difficult to get through this stop. It needs a red light before that new development and this (Though i support it) Growth requires it. AND Whatever happen to the By-pass talked about back years ago? we need to pursue. the bypass from 1-10 to Milton.
Dollar General & Circle K together would great!
I live a mile from this location and as much as I hate the area building up a gas station is the one thing we can use. Hopefully it will lighten up the intersection some too. When I was younger we had the jr food stores that had gas we used them all the time.
We don’t need anymore stuff built out in cantonment leave cantonment alone the way its been for a long time
Agree with Traffic Light. A traffic light is needed at this intersection. Dealing with W & E Quintette Rd traffic, then adding 2 more entrances to 95A within such a close proximity, this will back Quintette Rd traffic up further.
I’m glad ,,,great cash flow for your community,,Progress is excellent !
I’m betting it will be the next hot spot for constant wrecks.
That is not a good location for such a thing. I like HAPPY CAMPER’S idea. A really consistently good and reasonable restaurant there would be a nice thing too.
Good grief people! Why in the world would we need FOUR DG’s within a 5 mile radius? We have 2 in Molino and then the one at Neal Road. I like DG but I don’t think we need one on every corner. This is why I am selling my house and leaving this area…I’m not going to fight the traffic on 95A when they build all those complexes. My whole point of moving to Cantonment was to get away from all that but I guess pretty soon there won’t be any “quiet quaint” areas to live in. Quite a shame.
Terrible spot. If some folks could get dollar signs out of their eyes, their intelligence might work better.
A misaligned intersection on curve. Throw in the traffic of a gas station and we all should be good to go.
Man
Needed a Dollar General…..
Yall be safe out there.
Very much needed in the community. Hope gas prices won’t be high like other Circle K’s. Welcome Circle “K”.
I am for progress but I sure hope they put in a traffic light here. It is already a busy intersection.
Just because there’s space doesn’t mean full it with junk.
Better than a dollar general I suppose, but still unnecessary here.
What happen to Popeyes chicken? Guess it got knocked down.what a shame.They need a walmart where the golf course was an let cantonment grow.
I am excited about this! With all of the houses going on in this area adjacent to and a mile down quintet, it’s bound to happen. Ya’ll know it! Now…..a Dollar General at the spot where the house burned. Why didn’t that get purchased with the rest of that housing property? DG needs to be there!
Just MY Opinion
