Anything new on Another Broken Egg opening ?
 

Finally gave up driving by to see if any progress. Never encountered a new restaurant in the Villages that took so long to open....especially considering they were using an existing building.

It was exactly a year ago Feb 2022, when Another Broken Egg announced their plans to open in Brownwood. Jersey Mikes was also supposed to open in Deaton Plaza in April 2022, and they’re not open yet either. I suspect the building trades are committed to building homes, Middleton and Eastport in TV, and there’s little interest or manpower available for these smaller projects.

The sign is up. Noticed it a few days ago while driving by.

Even longer to actually occupy is the bakery next to the Poke place in Brownwood. Thats been coming soon for a long while.

April 1st

Expensive for what you get?
 

Jan 20, 2023 in Atlanta Ga (47458 Ashford Dunwoody Rd.) our bill (without tip) for breakfast was $44.22. This was for: 1 coffee, 2 eggs bacon potato 1/2 waffle, and 2 eggs bacon fruit. To me that was over the top expensive. TooJays runs about $25 for the same. I know this was Atlanta Ga., but I haven't found a lot of price difference between there and here especially in the "chain" resturants. For me this is too pricey for breakfast.

But was it good? Denny’s and I-Hop are cheap, but the quality is awful.

I noticed on FB, someone posted that the Jersey Mike's at Lake Deaton is open.

We bought at the end of '21 and we were told that Magnolia Plaza was getting a CVS and 7-11. The 7-11 is at least up and making progress, but they haven't broken ground on the CVS yet. Not sure if that is a trade's issue, CVS issue or both.....

Haha! Ask and I shall receive! It is now open!!

We went by on Thursday and they werent open - the lights were on and signs on windows, so they are close!

Finding help might be a big issue. It seems no one wants to work especially in the the restaurants. Customer service seems to be a thing of the past.

You may be correct, one can make the same money, if not more, without running your butt off, and dealing with unhappy customers, in other jobs.

While at Home Goods in Ocala last week, not one person spoke English except the assistant manager. Almost every storefront has help wanted signs, restaurants really don’t have perks to get people except for free food.

I received an email yesterday that the bakery is open.

And a CVS up north JUST announced seems to be breaking ground.

BTW, where is the hospital south of 44?

Probably difficulties in finding employees?
