There are some businesses that would be extremely successful here but for what ever reason their real estate division has failed to recognize the value opportunity.
A couple examples would be Costco and Trader Joe's. Either one would be very busy even in the summer months. But for reasons I fail to see have not engaged this market.
The Villages is the fastest growing area in Florida. It also has the highest income per resident in Florida. Also the most disposal income. By any measure most retail business's look at, this is the perfect demographic. I do agree that not every business model works well here, but either of those would be successful. When Walmart builds three stores plus a Sam's Club, you know the market equation has to work.
