My preference
 

I like to know my food is handled and cooked properly. Has little to do with getting out more.

Deplorable. Another example of TV Property Management displaying arrogant disregard for residents through their own greed. Perkins was a regular breakfast haunt for us and will be missed, a fact that the Villages. Greedy management doesn't seem to give a rats ass about. All you people who think their **** doesn't stink should use this and the previous closing of Athens as evidence that the Morse family cares about nothing but their bottom line. Screw them!

Did you see the link posted that showed that Perkins is in bankruptcy? Please don't blame the developer. Gary Morse was a regular guy like most of us with a very good idea, a very good work ethic and has given us more than anyone could expect. I think a lot of people have a little envy at the Morse family's success, but by golly they are STILL working, maybe to keep all of their employees in work? They have enough money for every dream money could buy for a dozen lifetimes. It is possible for financially successful people to be good and ethical.

I think you are just jealous of them.

Perkins closed over 50 restaurants. It had ZERO to to with the rent charged by whomever owns the property.

I am always interested about people who loathe the Morse family. Do you live in the villages! If so, why? I can't imagine living somewhere that made ne so miserable.

Oh why let the facts get into the way of innuendo and complaining about where one resides? Nothing like some sour grapes to add to the "Friendliest Home Town"....

I love Perkins on 441. It is one of my regular stops. Food, service and management attitudes quite acceptable.

If you check the Sumter Property appraiser, you'll see that that property and all the adjoining ones are owned by The Villages conglomerate.....

In order to keep the facts straight, Perkins filled for bankruptcy in 2011, and was discharged from bankruptcy about six months later under new ownership.

:shocked:
I guess it has nothing to do with greed?

When it comes to TV Property Management Group is has everything to do with Greed and Unscrupulous business practices. When they want someone out they raise the rent to levels that only insanity would accept. You also might want to check with businesses who located outside of TV because it was impossible for them to reach rental agreements with the greedy ones who want not only high rent but a percentage of profits. Ask the former owner of Athens or the many Drs. whose rent was raised because they were not members of TV Health Care rip off.

Gossip. Rumors. Innuendo. Perkins did file for Bankruptcy and they are currently closing stores. They probably waited until their lease was up to close here. The Villages OR any commercial owner of real estate would have no reason to try to get rid of paying clients. That is how they make money. AND if your theory were correct then all of the clients would be moving when their lease was done. The Villages Healthcare from The BEGINNING could only take people whose insurance fit their plan. MOST of us did NOT, even with excellent insurance we were not accepted. There are a couple of well loved doctors here who aren't very good paying their bills, including child support. In fact one ended up in jail due to failure to pay child support. Google mugshots and your doctors name if he told you he moved because they raised the rent.

Last time I went to that Perkins, I only got one pickle on my cheeseburger.

:bigbow:

Lots of speculation from sudden "happenings" here in The Villages. Does it really matter as to the "why"? Most of us who enjoy breakfast (especially after an early morning meeting or sporting event) hate to see a nice breakfast type restaurant close. This will make our wait longer at another morning restaurant.

This Perkins was very crowded every time I paid a visit for breakfast. I don't know about other times of day? Their pies were excellent for take out too. I understand breakfast can be very profitable---just ask the McDonald's across the country. This property won't stay vacant long. Fore!
