I don't see the appeal of shopping in Walmart regardless of prices. Employees can't tell you where anything is and they sure don't care if you find what you're looking for. There are different stores in nice neighborhoods and I think we deserve better. The Villages is not lower class and the newest construction is quite pricey. How do you ask someone to spend over a million dollars on a home and seal the deal by boasting "And, you'll be able to get all your groceries at Walmart Market! "

By "lower class" I'm assuming you mean lower income. Many people in The Villages are in a lower income bracket and do just fine. I know people with high incomes that are very much lower class. If you think living in a million dollar house makes you high class ( your inference ) all I can say is excuuuuse me !
There are also people here, living in premier house's who worry if their money will run out that will appreciate a lower priced food store.
BTW, this new Walmart will serve the immediate area which includes Fruitland Park & The Villages.
