Whole Foods And Trader Joes
Trader Joes would be an ideal addition to The Villages. But seeing that TJ doesn't have any stores in Florida, it would be hard to imagine that TV would be their first choice.
We enjoyed our big, new Whole Foods store as well as Trader Joes "up north". The Whole Foods in Winter Park is a little brother or "red-headed stepchild" of the newer, bigger Whole Foods stores. Visit there if you happen to be in the area for other reasons, but it sure isn't worth a special trip. Kind of disappointing.
We have high hopes for a greater selection of prepared fresh foods at the soon-to-open SweetBay in TV. If it doesn't turn out to meet our high expectations, we'll be very disappointed. Publix is OK for standard grocery items, but we really miss the wider selection of prepared foods, specialty bakery and gourmet items we became used to at a couple local groceries in Chicago's north shore 'burbs.
