I agree! I wonder lately how some of these retailers decide where to build new stores. It used to be the infrastructure was built first (including shopping areas), then residential neighborhoods built up around it. Now it's just the opposite! Have you seen the development south of Warm Springs lately? A year from now there will be thousands of new residents but no place within 20 minutes to buy groceries (except of course the over-priced Publix). And still no Costco within a 40 minute drive.

Still shaking my head at Home Depot building a new store 'steps' from Lowes on 466A when there's another one a stone's throw away in Lady Lake. Why not build SOMETHING, ANYTHING... south of 44??
