PLANTATION POINTE SHOPPING CENTER

The demolition of what was for many year's a Ruby Tuesday restaurant at 901 Fairhope Avenue has started; details of plans for a Chick-fil-A restaurant will still have to be approved by the city's planning commission (traffic plan, landscaping, etc.).

The Ruby Tuesday's closed about 5 years ago. Sebastian's Steakhouse operated there for a while too, beginning in 2023.

A new site drainage plan has already been ok'd by the state (ADEM). 


Proposed Chick-fil-a plan.

This seems to be a no-brainer for the planning commission and council. The most congested intersection in Fairhope now and you’re gonna put a Chik-Fil-A in there? Impacts to the PIG, UPS store would be major.
The current set up would depend on motorists letting Chik customers on to FH Ave or Greeno. Motorist want to rush to catch the timed traffic lights.
How many folks do you see letting people get in traffic lanes now? Back ups galore.
Let’s hope basic common sense prevails on this one.

You got one thing right anyway. A no-brainer ... to approve it! One more business won't make any difference considering the dozens there already ...

They built that restaurant in the 1990s, the first “small” concept in RT’s portfolio, so successful that it was later expanded. And the founder once resided in Point Clear. It even had on-site parking. How can the preservation people allow this to happen?
