Good point to ponder - and could be true, as many big box stores are rethinking their business models regarding building new stores. Personally, I would be OK if these stores do not make it south of 44. I don’t shop at any of them anyway (most shopping done on-line). I drive up to 441/27 and that traffic quagmire in Lady Lake as little as possible, because of all that traffic that comes with those strip malls and fast food outlets.
