Costco Files Updated Plans For New Store On Nine Mile Road
October 31, 2024
Updated plans were filed this week for a Costco on Nine Mile Road.
The plans filed with Escambia County show the 172,580 square feet Costco retail store with a gas station and 885 parking spaces at 235 East Nine Mile Road, at the corner of East Nine Mile Road and Chemstrand Road. That’s the site of the current Planet Fitness and a former Kmart store. It’s several parcels totaling just under 22 acres.
The new plans are about 10 thousand square feet larger than the original proposal submitted back in June.
The plans show the existing Dairy Queen, Sam’s Seafood Restaurant and Wells Fargo to remain, with a Costco gas station constructed between Sam’s Seafood and Wells Fargo in an area that is currently a parking area for the old shopping center. The current Planet Fitness building will be demolished to make room for the new Costco.
The new plan submittal followed Escambia County Development Review feedback in July, and committee staff responded looking for more information and some clarifications. A DRC Committee review on the resubmission has not yet been scheduled.

Thank God!!! I never have to drive to Mobile again. I like Costco but hated to go to the one in Mobile too much crime in the streets.
Glad Costco will be coming. Hope the gas lanes will have sat least 3 pumps per lane, it’ll move faster. Was at one in GA which had 10 lanes & 4 pumps per lane, took no time to get through. Even with BJ’s & Sam’s I think all of them have their own special items that everyone likes. Yes to a Trader Joe’s for us here!!!!
Cosco ya! Now if we can catch a Rural king and Trader Joes. P.s. go on trader joes website and ask for one for Pensacola
I’m very excited that Pensacola is finally getting a Costco but I do dread the coming traffic!
WOW ANOTHER BIG BOX STORE. COMPETITION YES, YES, YES,
This is a mixed bag for the community. The growth is tremendous, jobs and volume will definitely help. Pensacola however already has Sam’s and BJ’s. I’m not sure our small businesses can survive competition with 3 large wholesale retailers. I’m hesitant in thinking we have the residents to support this too. However, as a westcoast transplant I’m thrilled to have a Costco again.
Better widen 9 mile to 3 lanes each way first. Our roads can’t handle a bigger population.
So glad to see Costco come to Pensacola!!
One thing is certain, DQ, Wells Fargo, Sam’s Seafood better own there buildings and land they sit on. If they lease them the rent is about skyrocket.
