None of your links mention anything about them opening a location anywhere in The Villages, but do name several other Florida locations.

I think it might be a little premature to be announcing "A Lucky's Grocery Store is coming to Magnolia Plaza".

Just my opinion.

Serenoa... read first line of OP... the "announcement" in question is a RUMOR... Just my opinion, too, but prematurity (is that a word?) has nothing to do with passing on a good old fashion rumor...

Still, this one, is a REALLY GOOD ONE!

[Two Bills]

They will be next door to the new Costco!

Somehow I can't fully embrace the concept of Lucky's being a "healthy" supermarket yet it sells beer and wine at the door??? Maybe it is just me. It should be called a somewhat healthy supermarket.

There's a darn good reason for that. In heaven there ain't no beer, that's why us men drink it here....

It's not a "healthy" supermarket. It's a supermarket that specializes in organics, local products, and humanely-treated meats. It also has conventional products, such as wine, beer, coca cola, products containing sugar, gluten, nuts, etc. etc. etc.

It's really just a conventional supermarket with certain specialties that they're known for.

Sounds like a cross between Wegman's (for all us northerners) and Trader Joe's with a touch of Whole Foods thrown in for flavor. Would be nice to have a "millennial's market" in the area. My barber's wife's beautician said she heard some other rumors as well from her uncle's daughter's lawn guy. No chicken counting or breath holding quite yet though.

Believe me I love steak as much as anyone, but I find the term 'humanely-treated meat' a bit of an oxymoron.
Does it mean the animals volunteer to be slaughtered?

[Velvet]

I hope they have delicious, fresh food. The only strong allergy I have is against tasteless food. Whole Foods is quite overpriced where I am. The husband likes organic stuff.

Pasture raised (aka "grass fed"), led to slaughter using a system similar to, or the same system as, the one Temple Grandin developed or slaughtered individually not in any kind of mass slaughter factory.

It means they weren't raised in close quarters and force-fed foods that aren't natural for cows, they were allowed to graze for most of their lives, their baby formula was off the mother's udder. More or less cows raised in a traditional way and not in what's called a "factory farm."

Traditional cattle raising produces superior quality meat. If a cow grows up in a stressful (factory) environment, the meat is stringier and tougher. When a cow grows up in a natural environment, its muscles are more relaxed, the meat marbles better, resulting in more tender, juicier, and tasty meat.

The concept of a cow being raised "naturally" is sort of a misnomer. The existence of cows is not a natural phenomenon at all. They exist because humans bred them to exist, from their origins as wild oxen.

Nothing quite like a good rumor. Some rumors come to fruition others (like an exit off i75 to connect with 466) not so much. :clap2:

Just to be clear, cows are never raised for beef. Only heifers and steers, usually slaughtered before 2 years. Grass fed only will never produce prime or choice grade meat. Oxen are never female, they are older steers.

Grass fed grain finished makes the best steaks and burgers. I know it's trendy among foodies to make a big to-do about grass-fed only. I've had burgers and steaks with that - so far I've never had grass-only beef come out tender. Palatable at best, tough and stringy at worst.

I shopped at my local Lucky's today and can say without a doubt no comparison to a Publix. Lucky's is fine for a few items

Curious as to the differences - have never shopped there but am interested in your experience.

<snip>Maybe the source at the pool got the location wrong.

Maybe Lucky's is the "mystery grocery store" which will be built in Trailwinds Village.

The plans to build a grocery store there have been announced. For some unknown reason, the grocer has not yet been publicly identified - very unusual.

Now, I have seen the plans and Publix is clearly shown on them ... but, but, but maybe it's a clever deception!?!

Queue the black helicopter!

Making reference to "humanely-treated meat," I'm sure they aren't referring to steak but rather something like veal.

Do you know what they do to calves so the public can have veal?
Okay -- I'll tell you . . .

The calves are taken away from their mother at about 3-weeks old. They are placed in a pen where they are not able to move so that they do not gain any muscle tone. And with it all, they live that way in complete darkness until they go to slaughter. :ohdear:

Hungry? barf

Visited a Dutch veal farm many moons ago, and have never eaten veal.
I you thik that is bad look up how Pate Foie Gras is produced.

[charmed59]

For a second there I thought you were referring to Lucky Supermarkets, a chain in Northern California that is not high end, but tends to be known for sticky stores where you need to check expiration dates before buying.

Lucky’s, based in Colorado, sounds much better.

I you thik that is bad look up how Pate Foie Gras is produced.Won't eat veal since I found out what the calf is subjected to. Never even thought about Pate Fois Gras since it was a $25 appetizer. Looked it up now and wouldn't eat it for free.

Totally wrong! Fake! First, veal calfs are dairy calfs. All calfs born to dairy cows are taken away after birth and never left to nurse, otherwise, the mother would not take to a milking machine. All milk is given to the calf by bottle. Calfs are in a pin with plenty of room, sunlight and ventalation. They also have access to a field, weather permitting. Just memember, farmers love their animals. I don't know where you get your information but it is wrong.
