But, no longer does a trip include buying 20 lbs of ground beef, and 10 lbs of chicken breasts.

Also, you will never see a Costco located on property within the confines of The Villages. They simply will not pay the vig (percentage of gross sales) demanded by the Developer.
Just curious what that percentage is compared to what other Developers charge? Have you seen the contracts or commenting on rumors and speculation?
