Re: Why do so many restaurants fail in The Villages?
Hello Villagers-
I am the current owner of the Planet Smoothie located in Lady Lake across from Home Depot. I read talk of the villages all the time to see what is going on and read what residents are saying about local restaurants. Residents give so much feeback on this site that I am amazed more managers from restaurants are not on here and part of the discussion. I am in no way trying to solicite or advertise for free, I just to be apart of this forum as a business owner.
I have been in my location for over a year now and I would say that 15% of my customers are village residents. The rest are those that work in the area. I have advertised and advertised and I feel the product is phenomenal! I work in my store Mon-Fri and some weekends. I do have teenagers that work for me as well however they do not run my store as in some cases in the area. My rent is average however it is very frustrating to get in and out of my plaza. I wonder everyday what I am doing wrong due to slow sales and lack of customers that live in the villages. :dontknow:
I have a second location in Volushia County that is very successful! Help villagers, your feedback means the world to me!
