I went after the openers and before the masses (about 9 am) and was able to walk about the store mostly unimpeded. Just did a recon run...wasn't willing to wait in line to check out. But, I was impressed with what I saw. In addition to being a fully stocked grocery store with reasonable prices there were a lot of extras....the bakery, deli, produce area, seafood, meat, etc. all had a good variety, unusual and natural/organic items, and decent prices. I think this store will do well. I welcome its arrival and also look forward to when the buzz dies down and its a regular pace.

Also, for those outside the Villages, the Mallory Country Club restaurant reopened in the last couple of days. Hooray...glad to see it back in business.
