Subject C'mon Down! Our residents want you here!!!
Being from MA, and now retired to FL, I sure do miss the Christmas Tree Shop.
If you do a bit of research, please give some thought to opening a Shop here in our retirement paradise called The Villages in Central Florida.
This retirement community is the largest in the world and is compared and also sometimes called Disneyland for Seniors. The community has grown to a population of 80,000 and still growing strong. We have youthful retirees here that get around in golf carts rather than cars in most cases. You can not go wrong in considering a move here; you have to see it to believe it. [

We have a plethora of restaurants such as Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Village restaurants such as Nancy Lopez (who lives here) Restaurant and country club and Arnold Palmer restaurant and countryclub as well as hospitals and many medical practices, a polo field where international polo games are played, and on and on.
There's a website by residents of The Villages called Talk of the Villages (TOTV) (
Inserted TOTV website link.)
where you can read the forums and especially the posts that are wishing for The Christmas Tree Shop to open here in our paradise.
