Exactly. It's run by the Villages, so the prices are inflated over what you'd normally pay. the Villages is very good at eking out extra from the residents. The Villages has their fingers in the financial pie so to speak in any number of local businesses, to cash in. If people do their homework, they will always find cheaper prices elsewhere.
