After all the hype it certainly appears the Villages missed the mark on Sawgrass. As reported, the Pizza, Burger, Seafood and Butcher shop are all owned by the same company. Not sure who owns the bar. Giving a monopoly to what sounded like an interesting concept certainly leads to either a win win or lose lose situation. If one fails, they will probably all fail. A pizza place in a food court that only serves whole pizzas vs by the slice is ridiculous. Just a brief mention of the steel chairs. Even though the average villager might carry some extra padding, those seats are horribly uncomfortable and certainly don;t give a welcome and stay with us a while feel. Sawgrass was a great concept with absolutely horrible implementation.
