Milo’s Hamburgers will soon begin construction on a new restaurant in Fairfield.
City officials were on the scene on Aaron Aronov Drive Friday for the groundbreaking, only a few hundred feet from the present location, which is at 6600 E. J. Oliver Blvd.
Mayor Eddie Penny said Milo’s has had a presence in the city for more than 20 years.
“Everybody, everybody loves Milo’s,” he said at the ceremony. “When Milo’s was first even thinking about leaving, I said, no, no, no, we’re going to do everything we can to make sure Milo’s stays in the city of Fairfield.
The new restaurant will have indoor and outdoor seating, Penny said.
Milo’s has 23 locations in Alabama. After opening up in Birmingham in 1946, Milo’s has made a name for itself in Alabama thanks to its hamburgers smothered in secret sauce and sweet tea.
