My cookies are similar to their chocolate chip ones. Maybe if I win the lottery I could open a whole strip-mall of "stuff from the north that I really miss and other people would probably love too."
Get Pepe's to open a pizzeria/sub shop here (they have one in Delray Beach). A couple of small antique stores, each specializing in something and accepting consignments. A greek diner at the end of the strip, in a real railroad dining car with early breakfast specials from 6am-9am, and open until 9pm. A vintage clothing store, a store that specializes in clothing and accessories for dancers (like a Capezio store). A mini-food court with a) middle-eastern food like falafels, b) Indian food - samosas and curry chicken etc c) healthy vegetarian/vegan joint d) a kosher market e) an italian bakery that makes everything on site.
Maybe even run a food truck event once a month where a huge variety of food trucks can come and offer all kinds of edibles, while a band plays to entertain the customers, and feature local crafters and local chicken and duck eggs.
There are SOOOO many people in the Villages from "up north" that I think this community is missing an incredible marketing opportunity by not creating this kind of "fairground market" thing. They tried with Sawgrass but it's just way too small.
