I talked to the manager, and he definitely said they've talked to TV about Brownwood, why would he lie about that or I lie about that? It's my best guess that the area of TV is not available because the current franchise already owns the area. They're not as big as Subway or McDonalds with thousands of locations and franchise can be as little as two miles apart. Part of the current franchise deal was probably not to allow other Jersey Mike's into competition in TV's.
I have no problem with TV turning down Jersey Mike's at Pinellas Plaza because of Subway, my problem is turning down Jersey Mike's at Brownwood because they only wanted 1200sf. There are a lot of vacant storefronts, maybe a couple of years from now they will change their tune. Remember, Lake Sumter opened in 2007 but Panera's didn't movie in until 2011. Brownwood may take a few years to fill all those vacant spots.

The Villages commercial probably rents to people who have a good history of paying their bills and have shown that they can survive in this business climate.

Maybe you should go over to Jersey Mike's and see for yourself. There is a line in that place anytime of the day. They make Subway look small. I've eaten at Jersey Mike's all over the state, my neighbor said he even ate at one in Las Vegas. They are an up and coming franchise and every location I've been in is always crowded. Maybe TV rental dept did as much research as you did.
