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.

I’d absolutely live there! You have great ideas!
