The developer does put in some amenities like rec centers, golf, postal station, and such, but no actual stores for obtaining products you need to live on a daily basis. If you want a fully developed support system...think about buying north of 466A.
There's already a Publix, Winn Dixie, Walgreens, McDonalds etc etc at Lake Harris Square, 2 miles from the Chandler/470 intersection.
