Former Car Wash on Nine Mile Road Eyed For Drive-Thru Coffee Shop
October 14, 2024
A former car wash on Nine Mile Road could become a coffee shop soon.
A proposal set for an Escambia County Development Review pre-application meeting this week shows the nearly 30-year old building at 500 East Nine Mile Road being converted into a drive-thru coffee shop.
The plans (pictured left click to enlarge) were filed by Blue CPM, a commercial real estate firm. The name of the coffee shop has not been announced.
The building, which was constructed in 1997, was previously used as a car wash. The proposal shows using the existing structure and drive-thru section already in place inside the building. There will be no additional or expansions to the existing structure, according to the proposal, but there will be interior modifications. There will be no outside seating, and 12 parking spaces are in the proposal. Two small non-attached structures on the half-acre property will be removed.
The existing owner, Phoenix Fairfield LLC, bought the building in November 2023 for $395,000, following the closure of the car wash in mid-2023.
Estimated traffic of the drive-thru is around 40 vehicles per hour at its busiest.
The Escambia County Development Review Committee has not yet set a public hearing on the proposal.

Welcome to the competition. But can there be too much of a good thing? Only time will tell.
I am so glad they are opening “another” coffee shop…because we “need” another coffee shop. Dutch Bros just opened up, and don’t forget about Scooters around the corner and all the Starbucks in this town. Foskos downtown. You name it. Absolutely unbelievable!
I cannot believe that they have closed a car wash. We need more car washes. What are we going to do now? …..sarc….
I seem to remember, not too long ago, Starbucks launching what seemed like a large number of locations in the Pensacola area and closing a bunch of them in less than ten years after opening. Now our community seems to not be able to get enough coffee.
Hmm…I guess the economy REALLY IS doing well; lots of residents are willing to pay a premium for coffee, we seem to not get enough of prepared/delivered meals (especially from places like Wawa) there sure are a lot of fancy, expensive pickup trucks that never get dirty.
Okay, bring on the new coffee shops, more convenience stores and puhleese don’t complain about the price of groceries. Hahahahaha…just tryin’ to keep it light.
