“We had always intended to come back to Tuscaloosa after the tornado; it just took us a lot longer than we anticipated,” Milo’s CEO Tom Dekle said. “We love being a part of the Tuscaloosa culture, and we always knew we’d be back. And now we’re coming back with more to offer.”
The new restaurant will be located near the intersection of Skyland Boulevard and Route 69 on the south side of Skyland next to Chick-fil-A.
In addition to the new location, Milo’s will also be offering an expanded menu. According to a press release, the burger shop will now feature chicken menu options, ice cream and a full breakfast menu.
Those interested in updates on the opening date can follow Milo’s on social media or stop by the location, where updates will be posted on a sign.
“Living in Birmingham, Milo’s has always been a favorite restaurant of mine, and every time I go home I always make sure to stop by,” said Clay Jones, a freshman majoring in general business. “Having one in Tuscaloosa will be terrible for my wallet though, because I know I’ll be eating there once a week if not more.”
