The old Checker's on North Davis Highway is gone, but here is what will stand in its place

Drivers heading past the intersection of Brent Lane and North Davis Highway may have noticed ongoing construction at the site of the former Checker’s fast-food restaurant.

That incoming building will be a Take 5 Oil Change, according to the project’s development order from Escambia County’s Development Review Committee (DRC).

Take 5 Oil’s parent company, Driven Brands , is behind the proposal and is building a three-bay facility with just over 1,700 square feet on the site located at 5300 N. Davis Highway. They received the development order from the DRC four months ago after submitting their plans to the county last July.

Motorists will be able to enter or exit the business using Brent Lane, but there will also be a second access road leading out of the business onto North Davis Highway.
