.....I started to list them all but realized it was a tedious task. There are OVER 90 places to eat in The Villages that are golf cart accessible. Granted, this includes the Taco Bells, McDonalds and such, but still....geesh folks. These do not include the others that are within 15 minutes of drive time by car that will easily double that number!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You could literally eat somewhere different every day for over six months!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Spoiled??????? Just a bit???????
Here you go. There may be one or two name changes or closings since this list was put together. 101 entries by my count.

I one thing that I think Gracie mentioned was that existing businesses that have a good track record would be given first dibs on new locations and a better lease deal than would be given to a new business. They may even go as far as to make changes to the current lease to make things more inviting to open another location.
