[memason]

Nice rumor,but ain't gonna happen...ever

[Bill-n-Brillo]

Haven't heard about it til now.

Is it going to be by the Costco or Trader Joe's? :shocked:

Bill :)

[Villageshooter]

It will be next to the hooters and just past the white castle

[Sunshine Mary]

Bill, you make me laugh!!!!! Your too funny!!!

[Hancle704]

A few doors away from the 5000 seat performing arts/convention center/casino.

[delima2000]

Yea someone else wants White Castles. They could make a killing here.

I heard it was going to be between the Orange and Banana stores. The Costco and Trader Joe's are going to be the anchor stores at either end.:highfive:

That would be me. I love those things :mmmm:

[Bill-n-Brillo]

For your closest "White Castle substitute" fix: Krystal in Ocala!!! :icon_hungry:

Bill :)

[pfhannan]

I haven't heard, but hope so. I now have to travel to Altimonte for serious issues.

[shalomuall]

What, no Trader Joe's, Costco or Wegmens? They did not disclose that when we purchased our home. LOL

[gvsulakerfan]

Haven't you rumor starters read the Steve Jobs book? There is a whole section in there that talks about Apple Stores, where they put them where they put them and why. Apple predominately chooses mall settings for their stores with very few stand alone or strip mall stores.

Brownwood doesn't fit the mold.

[jerseyvillager]

Wow! That's at least two "rat burgers" they will sell.

[delima2000]

Krystal's are ok the buns are too thick. If you ever had fresh white castle right off the grill you know what I mean. Nobody beats white castle. The frozen ones are all right but no pickles if you need a fix they will do. Have to make a road trip to Tennessee to get my favorites white castle and Culver's.

[Double Bogie]

Went to Brownwood Acres yesterday, the original one in Central Lake, MI. The only apple I saw was on a tree.

[Yankee Quilter]

In and Out Burger anyone?

[Villageshooter]

with all these desires,, maybe we all should just move back home!!! NOT!!!!

We'll be there soon too. I spent my summers on Torch Lake 100 yards from Brownwood and would go to the "Honey House" almost every day.

I was going to add maybe the "Apple" store poster heard that Brownwood would have some Cherry or Apple butter and heard the rumor wrong.

[gvsulakerfan]

I also grew up in Central Lake. Say hello to Torch Lake for me.

[batman911]

I believe the TV demographic is not what Apple would look for as a customer base. The reason they prefer malls is that is where the young folks hang out. You know, the ones with all the money that just have to have the latest devices.

mmmmmmm...love it when the buns get mushy!

[Chathamguy]

Yes, it will be a U-PICK apple store!

[asianthree]

we filled out the questions on what we wanted so we should get an apple

[kb8tpw]

Here is a vote for In-and-Out from a die hard White Castle and Cincinnati chili fan. Lived in Ohio for years but business took me to CA every other week or so. When they put the In-And-Out Burger close to LAX that really made it great for arrival and departure fixes until the next trip. It's too bad that the Trader's Joes front office has a thing about expanding to FL. They are a natural for The Villages.

[Bonny]

We used to go to Torch Lake a lot and used to go to Brownwood. It's such a nice area up there.

[De Lis]

What's an Apple Store?

[Buzz Bowman]

Make my In-N-Out a Double Double prepared Animal Style! :)

[jerseyvillager]

Just the best computer facility in the world.

[Bill-n-Brillo]

What's an Apple Store?

Apple Retail Store (http://www.apple.com/retail/)

I think they are pulling our leg

[Bill-n-Brillo]

Maybe...............maybe not. :wave:

[keithwand]

Central Lake- Do you remember the Chatterbox?
Now its the Blue Pelican.
Such memories and now we are here with Brownwood and Torch River Drive.

[Bonny]

Kind of feels like I'm back in Michjgan. LOL

[GaryW]

Apple Store would be great, but do no think it would survive.. There are alot of Apple users here :bigbow:

But it really craves the younger crowd also... That is a high end store, just do not see it staying afloat afte reading the demographics they lurk for.

[StuMas]

I think a campaign to bring in White Castle is a brilliant idea. Love the onions.

[zonerboy]

I agree with GaryW.
Apple stores need big cities like Orlando or Tampa.
Apple definitely has a superior product line, but it is pricey and appeals to a young techie crowd. Village People ,IMHO, seem to go for whatever is cheapest!

[Warren Kiefer]

Has anyone heard the rumor that there will be an Apple Store in Brownwood?

I get my apples at Publix.

[Jullie]

yum white castles, we got our fix in INDIANA a month or so ago. ha!

[Pturner]

There will be an Apple Store in TV when Martians land here. As others said, it's a demographic mismatch extraordinaire.

However, since we can't have an Apple Store, how about a Banana Republic.

[delima2000]

We should get people that travel up north to bring us back crave cases of white castles when they come back here. My son used to buy them when he visited Michigan and packed them in a suitcase to travel back to California. On time he sold them on the plane because people didn't like the snacks that they served.

[Bill-n-Brillo]

...... My son used to buy them when he visited Michigan and packed them in a suitcase to travel back to California. ......

Bet that suitcase reeked for months! :shocked: Boy Howdy!!!

Bill :)

[delima2000]

It sure did. He only used that suitcase for his white castles. He moved back to Michigan and the suitcase is now in a land fill.

[Bill-n-Brillo]

It's now an issue for the EPA, right? :1rotfl:

Bill :)

[keithwand]

I could fill the void in the trunk where all of the Jim Beam is when we go back to Michigan.

[Schaumburger]

Maybe...............maybe not. :wave:

Bill :)

I am sure my 82 year old father would not know what an Apple Store is.

The next TV village to open...the Village of Martiana... :D
