Recently I heard a rumor that because Publix was going to open a store on the western end of 466A near the proposed Sweetbay store that Sweetbay had pulled out. Today I spoke with Iggy, the manager at the LSLS store. He said that they still own the property and are still going to build it. He also said it would be a larger store than the present one. They have decided to push it back from late 2012 to 2013. The idea is to wait until more houses are built down there. For some reason all the stores think that the people south of 446A are the only ones who will shop there. I told him that I travel approximatelt 15-18 minutes to get to their present store and I would gladly shop there. I also told him that when I am limited on time I go to Publix because of the drive.
When I aksed him if there was any way to expidite the opening, he said that emailing WWW.Sweetbay.com and asking for a sooner opening date is the thing which would help the most. I intend to do just that and would encourage anyone who wants another store whether it be for distance or for store size to do it also. He does think that Publix will be building down there also but did not indicate whether he felt they would close Colony. I would guess NO. Get on it LOL
