I have to agree that having a less than stellar business plan, hiring young kids to work all types of hours, and expecting a great living to come to their doors because of their location has been the downfall of many businesses here in The Villages. Many business owners either rush into a storefront representing a product or service that may be a difficult sell to our senior citizens. I believe that more study is needed by perspective retailers of the perils they may face as well as is there product or service "good." Take for example the quick demise of "Whiskey Creek," "The Copper Pot," and the "Old Time Bakery."
