Updated: Former Hardees To Be Demolished

Fairhope, Alabama

Update: Plans may have changed, the building may not be demolished after all. No new plans have been submitted yet. Check back for updates.


Eastern Shore Shopping Center

Building official Cortinas says the old Hardee's restaurant building on Greeno Road is to be demolished; he could not confirm rumors that Starbuck's is planning to construct a coffee shop there.

A sign on the door indicated Hardee's was looking for another local location.

The store opened there in the 1970's, according to local historians.

We should be hopeful for a Starkbuck's. The new policy adopted by Starbuck's allows anyone access to their restrooms which means it's not necessary to drive home to find a clean restroom. If its not clean, just file a complaint with the manager, and best of all, it's not necessary to purchase any coffee. Also, at this location we can park in the big parking lot and easily walk into the store.

I hope it is Starbucks and not just because there is a clean toilet, the coffee is good, the staff is well trained, unlike the 2 other coffee shops downtown where you can not order anything without the tip jar positioned under your nose. That is why I stopped going to any of them including the Warehouse bakery.
How did we become a nation of beggars? where you can not visit any shop without having to pay taxes [I mean tips] Competition is good, especially when the competition makes owners pay a decent hourly rate and spruce up their shop and service standards.

They should also search for a new crew. I could make biscuits and gravy at home in the same amount of time as it takes them. A 45 minute wait for food is not very fast

Same scenario, you can make you own coffee at home and not have to pay $8 for a cup. So biscuits, gravy and coffee at Mrs McCormicks house. Thank you

How about a 24 hour dinner that serves REAL food and one can get a real hamburger or actual meal,especially since the mayor has run Ben's out(now closed) and river Grill in point clear is on the other side of town Most of the restaurants in town are so expensive ,no place to park in town(getting worse by the day). No chain stores please.

Please no Starbucks. Two coffee shops just closed here recently. We need new food choices, not overpriced coffee. I won't support it.

Ben's is not closed. She wants to retire and it's for sale.

Question to 24HR diner....why did Ben’s close?

The mindset of Fairhope residents: a dozen+ comments whether we need a Starbucks, Whataburger, or whatever; zero comments on the outstanding work of Fresh Start Fairhope obtaining 800 signatures for a petition. Good grief, people.

The Charlie Brown quoter is correct. We should be commenting on the Fresh Start Fairhope news rather than clean toilets and overpriced coffee. I am ashamed of myself, and I guess we deserve being "scolded" on a public forum. Maybe this should also be a lesson to the Fresh Start Fairhope organizers about the level of interest in their program at this stage--800 signatures isn't a major milestone in a city of over 16,000 registered voters. Now back to the toilet and coffee issue :)

good grief indeed. 800 signatures in just two weeks IS a major milestone.

The only ones against allowing a referendum are those seeking to elect their relative or buddy mayor , so they can start getting handouts again.Unfortunately some of the local media has chosen to join in to.

What are you people talking about. This has nothing to do with Mayor or Council. Property sold, close/year down old place build new place. That is it
