Hi! Just a thought ... I am a year round resident in the southern section of The Villages, St. James, and would love to see a GOOD Cafe closer to us. Brownwood, the new town center being build would be a good place to look but also any other commercial area in and around 466A or south. It may be wise to contact one of the commercial agents at The Villages, if you haven't done so already. There is also a commercial area slated along 466A between Buena Vista Blvd. and Powell Road. I don't believe it will be golf cart accessible but in a good location. Also, google Atrium Dell. That shows on The Villages website as I believe a commercial area which will be located adjacent to the new Brownwood shopping center. I know they are presently working on the area but everyone you speak to has a different idea of what exactly that will be built out as. In as far as the Panera's and Starbusck, we do go to Panera's from time to time but I can see what you are speaking of opening to be something different than either of those two. With that said, I am always amazed at the crowds at Starbucks in Lake Sumter every time I am up that way. Personally, I am not fond of their coffee, dry pasteries and high prices. But that's just my opinion. I would love to see someone move into the area that does it right. Best of luck to you.
