The Sumter County Office Annex is there - where you can get your driver's license and auto registration. There is an attractive looking furniture store there called the Veranda (I've not gone in, but pass it often). There's a Beef O'Brady's there, gas stations, the blinds place lot's of people rave about (Pink house on 301 & 466A). There's a few stores in the strip mall with the county offices. And some small shops on the west side of 301 as well.

It's not a tourist mecca by any stretch, but it is on the way in and out of TV when you take either the turnpike or get off I-75 at exit 329. So getting gas there or picking something up at the store can be convenient as well.

I'll bet that once TV build out is complete and the Brownwood town square is up and running, it'll be a thriving area. Possibly a good place to invest if you can stand the wait.

You forgot to mention Tin Can Pam's discount grocery store!
