He said we talked to The Villages about putting a store at Brownwood, and they said how much space do you need, I told them 1200 sf, we don't need a lot. They said for the time being, they aren't renting out anything under 2000 sf. Then they asked about Pinellas Plaza, and they were told that Subway is already there and has a non-compete clause.

Sounds like TV has some funny business practices turning down a successful franchise that would bring a lot of foot traffic. I hope they can get into the new Publix shopping center before Subway.

Also, I noticed that 'Outback' had a sign 'now open everyday at 11am', so you don't have to wait until the weekend to get lunch there.

That's too bad, since there are so many empty storefronts at Brownwood. Also, Carrabba's opened for lunch sometime last year. In MI it was only open for lunch on Sunday. And Outback never was. I used to like their coconut shrimp.
