Fesh Market is totally different from TJ's. 2 totally different types of places. FM barely has any frozen foods, TJ's is about 50%+ Comparing FM and WEG's you are 100% correct. Those can be compared (Wegs way above) but neither are the same kind of place as TJ's wrt items they sell. That's like comparing 7-11 to Publix.
Don't worry though, TJ's will never come here for the same reason Costco won't. Too many whiny old people. Look what happened to that market over on 441 by the Wine (not whine) place. Blame it on Covid or Construction or whatever but it had virtually nothing to sell.
We do the Costco, TJ's , Whole Foods run about every 6 weeks to Orlando . That's one of the big problems with The Villages, none of those "upscale" places would ever come here nor would any major retail chains. As many people that live here, it's just not their demographic. They SELL crabs but don't like dealing with them. They probably read these forums and RUN!
