Villagers have been trying to get a Trader Joe's here for many years. About 10 years ago, Villagers presented Trader Joe's with a petition signed with over 6,000 signatures. They were rebuffed and told, "We will never open a Trader Joe's in The Villages."
I suspect that there was either a falling out with the Morse family or that the rent for a location is a percentage of your sales.
