Having a plethora of retail and shopping options appears not to be such an important factor to younger retirees. In fact, many want to be as far away as possible from the traffic and congestion caused by endless strip malls. It’s not uncommon for me to have several home deliveries daily from Amazon, Costco, Kroeger, UPS, etc.

The retail landscape is changing not just in The Villages, but everywhere.
Do you really think that "Big Box Stores" will commit to that much capital, just to satisfy the boomers who will soon be "aging out" of The Villages?
