Shopping Center Planned at SR44 near Morse

[champion6]

Sumter County reviewed a proposed TV commercial development. The parcels identified in the attached document are on the north side of 44, just east of the new Rohan Rec Center. Access to the parcels would be via Kristine Way (which goes east from Morse at the rec center) and from 44.

I seem to remember comments re: another Publix in that area.

Wouldn't surprise
me 61K Building is not that big.

There is definitely another publix planned at that locaton. It is a long range plan and might be 2 years away depending on how the new one on powell and 44 does.

I guess that also means another subway, nail salon, chinese restaurant, frozen yoghurt,insurance and mail package store, etc...

Yea, I don't get it. When we hear that they're building more homes we get all the grief about how it's getting too crowded and the infrastructure won't support all these new people.

When they build infrastructure to support the newcomers, we get complaints that it's the wrong kind.

Publix has been very successful as have many of the other businesses mentioned. The idea is not to provide variety for the people that live north of 466. Rather it's to give the people in the overcrowded areas some relief from the overcrowding.

I would suggest that anyone who wants to open a Costco or Trader Joe's, go out and invest the money and open one. If a business has a good chance of being successful here, I'm sure that the leaders of that business would be chomping at the bit to build in this location. The reason that we don't have a Trader Joe's is because Trader Joe's hierarchy has decided not to put one in here. I'm sure that The Villages would love to rent space to anyone who is interested in renting.

We live in the biggest and best over 55 community in the world and we have amenities, shopping and restaurant choices that almost no other community of this type has. If you want an endless variety of choices in dining and shopping go get an apartment in Central Park West. You'll have every thing you want.

Well Said. Couldn't agree more. There have been many online petitions to bring other stores and resteraunts here and guess what most didn't work.

[joldnol]

I heard Costco, Trader Joes, Kirkland and Ikea were going in there....

[ugotme]

No offense to anyone but that is one of the problems - many people state that they know what is planned or know someone who knows - blah blah blah.

In all likelihood the only ones who know are the Morse's and (some) staff and the potential renters.

I hardly think reflecting on the redundancy of stores qualifies as "bashing". And a five paragraph castigation was a bit excessive.

I didn't take Doc's post as castigating at all, accurate,, but not castigating.

I do!

Please note the definition of bashing:
Bashing is a harsh, gratuitous, prejudicial attack on a person, group, or subject. Literally, bashing is a term meaning to hit or assault, but when it is used as a suffix, or in conjunction with a noun indicating the subject being attacked, it is normally used to imply that the act is motivated by bigotry.[citation needed] The term is also used metaphorically, to describe verbal or critical assaults. Topics which attract bashing tend to be highly partisan and personally sensitive topics for the bashers, the victims, or both.

Again, I reiterate, I don't see reflecting on the repetition of stores as bashing.

I agree. It also brings an old saying to mind. The one who smelt it dealt it.

I agree, but those who raised the issue of bashing seem to fall into this definition.

Could it be that there are only a dozen or so businesses that want to do business in The Villages, and if it were not for these businesses, there would only be vacant buildings?

Huge fan of yours Bogie. You are right once again.

Demand and supply is not based on individuals. It is based on what sells.

[JoMar]

There is definitely another publix planned at that locaton. It is a long range plan and might be 2 years away depending on how the new one on powell and 44 does.

2 years is "long range" ?
