New Construction?
 

As I was traveling to the Walmart near Oxford, I noticed teams of surveyors and dozens of marker sticks being placed in the huge lot in front of Bealls. By chance, does anybody know what might be going to be built there?

Petsmart?

Pray for Costco & Trader Joe's

I heard from the cousin of a friend that it is Costco.......isn't it where pets mart is going

Petsmart is going in West of Bealls. This is the big lot South of Bealls.

Pet smart is on the side of Bealls where the machines are working I believe the Daily SUN posted . IF THIS is the piece in front of Bealls then it's something else

No way costco there. Not enough room.

My pet is already pretty smart.

Petsmart will be built west (to the left) of Bealls. Additional parking will be added to a portion of the vacant lot between the existing parking and Wedgewood Lane.
See Attached File.

I was asking the franchiser of the Jersey Mike's location in front of Target if he had given up on putting in a second location in TV. Last year he opened a second location in Mt. Dora when he couldn't find a suitable place at Brownwood. He said they were putting in a small strip center next to Fresh Market and he was hoping to put a Jersey Mike's in there. They had requested their usual size footprint, a 1200 sf store at Brownwood and TV told them they had to rent at least 4,000 sf. They were unable to go into any of the new shopping centers at Pinellas, Traverse or Rohan because TV gave Subway an exclusive on those.

Nationally Jersey Mike's opened 197 stores in just 2015, which put them over 1,000 locations. They are now America's fastest growing restaurant chain and currently have 1500 locations either open or under construction.

4000 sq. ft. Minimum???
 

We need a HumanSmart so we can keep up with our pets.

Trader Joe's would fit in that area maybe.

At Brownwood most of the eating locations are fairly large, even Five Guys, the only exception is the ice cream place. I haven't been in there, but it looks like maybe 2,000 sf at best. However, that place is owned by the fellow who operates five of the country clubs, so I guess they make exceptions for certain people. I would guess McAlisters is maybe 3,000 sf, but it's hard to tell without seeing the back. I can only tell you what the Jersey Mike's owner told me, he said 4,000 square feet was what they offered him.

Tell your friend to contact Barclay Group, the developer of Trailwinds Village, 727-733-7585. They just received approval from the Wildwood City Commission to proceed with constructing an 11,760 sq. ft.building which appears to have seven individual store fronts. One of those seven spots might be a good size for his business. The location looks good to me - facing 466A, ABC Liquors to the left, Lowe's behind, Aldi to the right.

I didn't think of that because I thought all the spots were too big for them. He had tried to go into the Rohan Shopping Center where they have the new big Publix, but was told Subway already had that location. I'll mention that to them next time I'm in there.

Subway but no other Sub sandwich restaurant such as Jersey Mikes? I suppose this is good business but this policy certainly stifles competition.

It's not about competition. It's about locking in market share for the retailer, and revenue for the developer. Nothing wrong with good old capitalism.

It was announced what is going in front of Bealls but now I cannot tell you what it is. Whatever it was was nothing that was exciting for me. So it definitely was not a Costco!

See post #9 - Petsmart and more parking.

Pave paradise and put up a parking lot.....

Pet Smart is on the west and adjacent to Bealls. I'm talking south of Bealls on the other side of the parking lot. See post #1.

Just saw the Blueprint it's an additional parking lot for the stores.

The day after your post, May 26th, I sent an email to Jersey Mike's real estate department with all the Barclay Group info. I was in the Lady Lake Jersey Mike's today and mentioned to Randy the manager that I had sent an email and asked if he knew anything about the new Lowe's shopping center in TV. I don't know if my email was the reason, but he said we are opening another Jersey Mike's in the new Lowe's Shopping Center on 466A. I think that place has the potential to be even busier than the Lady Lake restaurant.

From the map on the Barclay Group website, there appears to be a motel on the east edge next to Sand Hill Executive occupying 3 acres. In the far northwest corner will be 8 buildings each 3 stories with 36 apartments in each building on 21 acres, that would be just south of Tamarind Grove. In the southwest corner will be 10 office buildings each 6,000 sf. The Circle K gas station would be in the middle at the intersection with the red light and across the intersection appears to be where Aldis will be located. Behind the hotel adjacent to the Village of St. James will be senior living on 7 acres, it appears to be one large long building with a courtyard. Next to senior living will be 7 buildings of varying sizes of retail, probably good locations for decorators, shutters and blinds, etc.

Exactly.

Don't forget about retail space for another mattress store

I'm not certain, but I don't recall any mattress stores in Villages retail space.

Jersey Mike's is 1000 times better than the Subway crap. They could go across the street from Traverse Plaza. That is not under the iron fist of TV.

You maybe misunderstood my post, Jersey Mike's is moving into the new Lowe's Shopping Center on 466A.

They might try Trailwinds as I understand there will be a strip mall in there. Also, suppose to be a strip mall on the north side of 466A just east of Burke's BQ. Eventually, Jersey Mikes will find a spot......

He said they are going in the Lowe's Shopping Center. That is Trailwinds

I don't understand why people call sandwich shops, such as Subway & Jersey Mikes --restaurants-- the are ay best cafeteria's-any place without table service- IMHO -is not a restaurant-

Exactly. They're quick service sandwich shops. I tried Jersey Mike's once and never again. Any place that uses a slicer is setting you up for cross food contamination. Plus, their sandwiches were at least 50% more expensive than Subway. To each his own, I guess.

So what you're saying is Subway and all the supermarket deli counters sanitize their slicers between cuttings and Jersey Mike's is the only one that doesn't?

Great, you'll be one less person in line at Jersey Mike's, you know they are America's fastest growing restaurant and if you go in the Lady Lake location and don't see a line, it must be 9:00 at night.

50% more expensive, quality costs more, everybody knows that. You even said they said they cut meat for your sandwich right in front of you, maybe you prefer the meat cut out-of-sight and stored in the under counter cooler until you order that Italian BMT 6 hours later.

You're right, Subway is not a restaurant, Jersey Mike's is a res·tau·rant: a place where people pay to sit and eat meals that are cooked and served on the premises.

Jersey Mike's Cheese Steak Sub with grilled pepper and onions cooked while you wait, or you can go to subway where the cooking is done in a microwave.

Never heard of Jersey Mike's. Looks like another sub shop!

Love Jersey Mikes - just had the #9 Club Supreme on rosemary parmesan bread yesterday...

They make a nice sandwich.

If you don't want to wait in line, you can order online and pickup at the time that you specify, bypassing the line.

They make a nice sandwich.

Jersey Mike's

Splitting a hair. Hope you never find one in your sandwich, no matter where you get it.

Wonderful food isn't always found where they serve booze. Number one fact of dining.

I am so glad I can cook. I can fix what I like. It has to be good or I have to be tired to leave my own cooking.

Gourmet Chatbrat. Get the Cabbage Beef soup, only served on Wednesdays at TooJays. And the half brisket sandwich on rye with horseradish sauce and have a glass of Yeungling with it.

Sweet.

Well not sweet...but you get where I'm goin'.

This thread is supposed to be about construction near Bealls. Sheesh! :loco:

There was no sanitizing done between cuttings when I was there. And, yes, the same thing applies to the Deli at Publix. Both dairy (cheese) and protein (meat) are sliced on the same slicer and if that slicer is not sanitized after each slicing you are at risk. I don't mind paying for quality but a quick serve sandwich isn't where I'd spend that money. And my understanding is that Subway's meats are pre-sliced and package sealed at the factory. Typical deli meats and I assume Jersey Mike's, are also package sealed at the factory. Slicing from the hunk at the store makes no difference in taste or freshness but you're entitled to your opinion as am I.
