While a new retail presence is always appreciated, I'm not feeling like we really needed yet another Publix. That's mostly because I live in the middle of a rectangle, each corner of which will now have a Publix - Colony, Trailwinds, Grand Traverse and Lake Deaton. And, before too long, the one down by the Everglades recreation center. My wife and I would really have been happier with a new grocery presence in The Villages, such as Harris Teeter, Kroger, Wegmans or Trader Joes. Of course, a Costco would have really made us happy.
