Heard Bed, Bath and Beyond was another. We went by there yesterday for the first time in a while and were surprised at the progress and size of the complex. I believe I read there will be no golf cart access.

Sam's Club (thank goodness!). Kohl's was going to open a store here but backed out for some reason. :(

I heard A.C. Moore was building there too. Can't wait for that store to open.

Sure hope that A.C. Moore is coming . That would be awsome. Sure would be nice to have a fabric store in the area, as well. Kind of inconvienent to have to go to Ocala for crafts and fabric.

the craft store at Southern Trace closed last summer.

Ditto on AC Moore - I need that. Also need a huge fabric store, am tired of going to Ocala & Taveres to find fabric.

Re: new stores on rte 27/441
 
Not good news about a craft store closing. Does that mean it wasn't well received? :dontknow: :dontknow:

We don't have A.C. Moore up north here. Is it similar to Michaels (a rather large craft store) or Holly Hobby?

Re: new stores on rte 27/441
 
Kohl's probably dropped out of the complex because they are no doubt cutting back on new store openings like many other retailers. All are rethinking their expansion plans. Walmart has cut new openings as have Target, K-Mart, Talbot's, and others. Too many stores, not enough shoppers. Folks are cutting back on spending as fuel, power, food all increase in the face of escalating mortgage and credit costs.

"How many Wal-Marts does the world need anyway?"

It doesn't seem as though A.C. Moore has fabric. If this is the case, it will be difficult to attract another craft store such as Joanne's which carries all crafts, including fabric. This is unfortunate.

Re: new stores on rte 27/441
 
The little craft shop next to the golf shop in southern trace died rather quickly. Too bad but I think it probably was the rents and the fact that the southern part of the Villages was really just opening...I don't think they could bridge between then and now. They were just open in summer, 2005 when we moved here....they didn't last very long. I guess it's Hobby Lobby up in Ocala for now.

Re: new stores on rte 27/441
 
Yes A.C. Moore is similar to Michaels. And yes they do not carry fabric.

Looks like this will be there address from a zip code search on A.C. Moore's "Store Locator" section of their web-site--

#145 - Lady Lake, FL
540 N. US Highway 441
Lady Lake, FL 32159


Do they have plastic models and paints for them? Been having to go to Palm Harbor to find a suitable range of paints for my various models. I go back there every few months anyway.

Did the Sam's Club open? Where exactly is it located on 27/441? I searched their web site and the only club I found by The Villages is over on RT 200 outside Ocala. I was hoping a Costco would be close, but Orlando is not close as far as I consider.

bobfl 01-15-2009 04:20 PM

Looks like its just South of Home Depot on the same side.

Grand opening is January 22. Don't know if they'll have a soft opening a day or two earlier. As mentioned in another thread, the gas station and car wash is already open. We got gas there on Sunday and paid $1.749.

I can't wait till they open but will probably stay away for the first week or two. It will be a nut house.

It's located just south of Home Depot across from Best Buy, Kohls, etc. shopping area.

Kohls
 
Are you sure that the Kohl's is not coming if you go to the website they give you a telephone number and the ad for the active sale. Also you do have a Sams club coming that is not on the Website. Thanks for you help

Bluedog, I think you're looking at the first few posts from this thread which are about a year old.

Kohls opened in late October and Sams Club opens next week. Both are reality :clap2:

bluedog103 01-15-2009 09:48 PM

kohl's
 
I would like to inform you that the Kohl's is open. My husband called and talked with a person at the villages location.
