Your key comment here is ,”wave of the future”. I’ve lived in the Villages 14 years. It’s been my observation that retailers build in locations where there are established homes. They want their shoppers there now.
I’m sure Middleton will eventually get stores for their residents. But 8200 of you might be driving for a while.
