Their merchandise is always fresh and reasonably priced.
What's wrong with this picture? Can't imagine why The Villages is having problems filling up all these vacant retail shops.

I must be loosing my mind. Have you not ever seen the following:
Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming
Villages Cycles
Memories Engraved
Brownwood Jewelers
SAS Comfort Shoe Store
Nail Salon
Cal's Barber & Beauty
Hear USA
Tommy Bahama
Evelyn & Arthur
Christine's
And non retailers such as:
Raymond James
Prady Financial
United Healthcare
MVP Athletic Club
When we first visited The Villages in 2006, Lake Sumter Landing was no where near as big as it is today. It took about ten years for LSL to be that big (with more room to build still). And, I am sure, Brownwood will take as long (that will be 2022).
Take a look around and smell the roses.
