Default Wrong Demographics for an upscale store

Right now both Leesburg and Ocala has the wrong Demographic for these type of stores, the Villages has the right Demographics but lack the population. A store like Costco, Trader Joe’s, Etc has inventories from 2 to 20 Million dollars, equipment from 2.5 to 6 million and a building and property from 3 to 16 million. So it’s quite an investment and the “bean counters” stress a reasonable pay back.
