The Market at Sawgrass Grove is open (partially)
 
The Market is open. Just stopped by - but only about half of the shops are open.

The Coffee Bar was very busy as was Darlin’s Sweet Shoppe and The Villages Grown.

It looks like the shops that aren't open, will open soon.

How crowded was it?
This "soft" opening seems widely publicized - including the front page of The Daily Sun.

I didn't think it was crowded - but then about half of the shops weren't open. The prices at the coffee shop seemed to be about the same as Starbucks and the prices at the Sweet Shop seemed pretty high - $3 for a small cookie and $4 for a large cookie.

When we stopped this afternoon around 4 p.m. everything was open except Little Fin and the butcher shop. The place was crowded and the food looked great. Willy’s Burgers is going to give McGrady’s a run for their money with great looking burgers that are $6 cheaper.

Pro shop seemed smaller than the others. Parking is going to be tough for golf carts on that end I think. Villages grown looked promising for food and the still to open meat market looks good. Too bad the vegetarian place didn't open. Would have been nice for a healthy option that the villages doesn't offer so far. The rest were pretty much junk food stalls. Bar in the middle of the place will probably block movement around the place. Kind of like placing a bar in the middle of disney main street. Trash cans will be full.

Stopped by yesterday around 4:30 and the place was busy. Was great to see. Lil Fin and the butcher shop were not open yet. Walked around and thought it was a nice change and great atmosphere. Kind of a big food court with a bar in the middle. It is a great addition to this end of the villages. The food looked good and prices were compatible to other areas. We are excited for more development like this to take place on this end of the villages. Looking forward to the canopies to be installed and the live music to start.

Other than that, how'd you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?

Once again, the Developer screwed up. It’s good no one is moving to the Villages and buying houses like crazy.

I think the reason the Vegetarian place didn’t open is because there’s not a market for healthy foods, there is, however, a HUGE market for burgers and fries.

Is this Market at Sawgrass Grove an indoor establishment?
