Last year the checkers at Colony Publix told me the plan for new store was moved from 2013 to 2014, but of course they did not know why. Since it will be down by Brownwood, it is not likely to relieve the over crowding of the stores in Colony anyway. It will serve the folks who live off Buena Vista, but probably not those who live near Morse. Stores have to wait for their customer base to develop to turn a profit. Our Walgreens folks told me theirs is the busiest in TV, and I believe it. I just get my "rain check" for any sale items and get them the following week. No big deal. I let workmen who are coming in to buy their lunch at Publix go ahead of me. They are on a time clock, and I remember when I had to hurry through a hasty lunch to get to the next meeting, etc. I love retirement!
