And the restaurant Veranda became Panera in Lake Sumter Landing..

I really liked it when it was Veranda better. It was created and run by The Villages Inc.

Not the Veranda, Gracie. Although I wholeheartedly agree with you. The Veranda was so much better then Panera’s could ever be. OP was talking about Vic Ember’s Supper Club in Leesburg.

I got stuck with a $50 gift card they would not honor because I did not see that one sentence at the end of the article. Boo on them.
