You can build the store and commercial frontage but you can't make a business lease them. This takes time! It took Brownwood several years before it reached full capacity.

That's a bit draconian to say that one can't/shouldn't/must be careful to buy prior to services being available nearby. All depends upon one's needs versus wants versus wait time versus what's available. .
Although true you have to wait, prior to buying in Marsh Bend, we would drive our car to get groceries, and before magnolia plaza was completed, we still drove the car to get groceries, so if you know how to drive a car, you can still get groceries, and even gas, doesn't mean you can't buy a house where you want to buy it, and wait for the stopping plazas to get built out.
getting golf cart gas is a bigger issue nearby than groceries, so if there isn't gas nearby, getting a 5 gallon container for buying and storing golf cart gas is almost a requirement.
