[quote=AriaGrandparents2013;651459]Does this "wish list" get noticed by The Villages Developer so that maybe they will contact any of these franchises to see if they are interested in opening within The Villages?[
The survey that each of us submit yearly has a huge portion of our wants for businesses of every kind that are surely submitted to those businesses. One of the things that has happened is that much of our growth has happened in the last eight to ten years and the people who do the math, the demographers that large businesses consult have obviously missed us or didn't take a "little retirement community" seriously.
Economics 101...we are just recovering in this country from a major MAJOR economic downturn. Money for expansion has not been at the top of the lists for most businesses.
Things are beginning to look up for the country but no one has had the BOOM we have had here.
You don't just "open" a store. You have to contract for the lease for years and hire people to staff it and make a major financial commitment.
We have been here almost six years and you wouldn't believe the businesses that have come here in that time.
