How is this Wildwood’s fault?

The Villages Grown (produce brand of The Villages) has put their products into Sprouts produce store, and I think I remember seeing some of it at Publix (I might be misremembering but I could've sworn there was a whole section for Villages Grown stuff).

We are also now allowed, by law, to grow our own veggies if we want to go that route. I grow my own oregano, basil, lemon-thyme, and lavender in pots in my flowerbeds. I know folks who grow their own rosemary, cabbage, and peppers in a neighborhood near Sumter.

Meanwhile, I'd never been to a Panda Express til we moved to The Villages. We didn't have one anywhere near us back north. Turns out I like their Sweetfire Chicken. The 2-entree plate is under $10, and it's enough food for leftovers for the next day. Good deal for tasty meal. Just ask them to toss in a couple extra cubes of pineapple when you place the order.

Where is the produce store in Brownwood? The one next to Golf Central moved to Sawgrass.

Huh that must've happened just in the past three months? I was at Brownwood for the Strawberry festival and it was there then.

I think it happened in ‘22 when Sawgrass opened up. I shop there every week or so.

There you have it! I’ve learned something today. At some point in time, Chick Fil A chicken sandwich was sold in Waffle House. Who would have thought? TOTV is full of trivia information. Personally not a big chicken fan (goes back to my childhood) but I do like their chicken sandwich.

Help maybe coming with the building of Middleton down in the south villages. Perhaps The Villages will offer some incentive like bonuses or paying moving expenses to relocate workers to this area. Just a thought.

Think they will leave it to business itself to find workers

Why would the Villages OR Panda Express offer bonuses or relocation expenses for part-time minimum wage workers to serve Chinese-American food through a drive-through window?

Especially a Chinese-American food place that’s not even in The Villages.
