Convenient dodge!
Convenient doge or unfortunate reality or the reason for empty storefronts?

In any case, some Winn Dixies are changing to Aldis both inside and outside the Villages. Some Winn Dixies are remaining Winn Dixies both inside and outside the Villages. It doesn't seem like the Villages has anything at all to do with this decision.

What will be interesting to see is whether Aldis survives at Lake Sumter. With two stores outside the Villages and soon to be one within, will golf cart accessibility outweigh the higher rent?
