Nine Mile Road Dodge’s Convenience Store Shut Down Suddenly Tuesday
September 3, 2024
The Dodge’s Southern Style convenience store on East Nine Mile Road closed suddenly Tuesday morning.
All signage and branding were removed from the store, the parking lot was closed off, and vendors were apparently removing their products from the building.
NorthEscambia.com reached out to the company’s home office in Tupelo, Mississippi. We were told they would not make any comment to the media by a representative that then hung up the phone.
The Pensacola location of Dodge’s has been removed from the company’s website, and a Facebook page for the location says it is permanently closed. “Store Closed” signs were also posted at the entrance.
In response to a Facebook question we posted, the company confirmed, “…we are closing our Pensacola location.”
The location was constructed in 2001, according to Escambia County tax records.

Sad.
But someone knows the answer.
I was a regular here everyday super upsetting
When Dodge’s opened on that end of Nine Mile Road there wasn’t a lot of competitoin nearby as I recall. Now you got Krispy Kreme, Burger King, Panda Express. Chick-fil-A, Chipolte, Jersey Mike’s, Foosackly’s, Sonic, and who knows what else, all within 1000 feet. That is a crazy amount of competition.
I wonder if it has anything to do with the new CEFCO opening soon on Nine Mile, and the Wawa coming to North Davis.
There goes my icee connection. Man oh man. And my cards were all punched up for a free one. Bummer. What’s a girl to do!
Had decent fried chicken and friendly staff. Wish them the best of luck.
Vendors picking up their product is not a question mark. It’s a common practice amongst vendors to pick up product and credit the store upon closing.
Wonder if internal fraud. Venders picking up merchandise has a big ?MARK
Probably didn’t give their employees any warning either.
This is sad. A quick place to stop for some good chicken strips. Hope to join Paul Harvey for “the rest of the story.”
There goes my Tater log connection
Aww……I loved that store.
