Since the owner owns two other successful establishements here, one of them for years, I would think he knows the demo. I agree that people in The Villages won't suport higher end resturaunts inside and those that want a higher level will leave the bubble and find them. Honest Johns may have been an experiemt to see if he could raise the level with the understanding that it could fail. As food and service declines they may be trying to see where the bottom is and if they get there, can it make a profit. Who knows.
