Default Re: Why do so many restaurants fail in The Villages?

My understanding from the leasee of two of the country club restaraunts is that they are not only paying high rent, but also have to donate $5000 per employee that has a child attending the charter school. At the time I spoke with him he had to pay The Villages $60,000 as he had 12 employees that attended the charter schools. It was strongly recommended by the lessor that the donations be made by each leasee on TV property. If you had to donate that amount of money each year then your profits could easily disappear, thus causing you to go out of business after a year or two here in TV
