But, I'm sorry. If you look at the restaurants that have closed, everyone of them had bad or inconsistent food and/or service. Some get their act together, others don't.
When you open something in The Villages, you better open with your "A" game. There are too many choices here.
At least with chains, you know what you're going to get. They have to answer to corporate.
I've seen some of the stores close. I remember years ago we had a Christmas store in Spanish Springs. DUH, what did we need that for ?
Everyone talks about the rent, but the majority of us don't have a clue. There is choice to open or not. Rent's too high, don't open here or make it a great place.
Sorry this is so long.

Makes sense to me.
