The malls in Leesburg and Ocala are always struggling and they are on major roads.
The Villages could not support these stores. If they ever came this way it would be on a major road like 441.

Not necessarily true. Where I moved from, Wesley Chapel, Florida, an hour south, on the small rural corner of Bruce B. Downs Blvd and SR56 opened a JC Penneys story back in about 2007. It took about 3 more years to complete the project but up strung the Wiregrass Mall with Macy's and Dillards as the 3 anchor stores and a good deal of the most popular other stores like Pottery Barn, Coldwater Creek, J.Jill, etc... The intersection went from 2 lanes in all directions to now 6 and even 8 lanes in all directions. It caused growing pains in that area with traffic confusion but it is all complete now and traffic flows freely.
