I don't go to starbucks anymore. I go to Barnes & Noble where they serve starbucks coffee and their own pastries which are delicious. Also, it's a comfortable environment with great entertainment (books).:bowdown:

If the Villages is going to talk about a healthy lifestyle, why not start with the cc restaurants and have them offer a salt free menu.
Same goes for the chain stores.
Best bet, eat at home more often.

It is not just the salt - how about the sugar? With the number of diabetics in the Villages you would think that the restaurants, ice cream parlor, and the grocery stores would offer more sugar free desserts.

We make our own and eat them at home.

Not just RI. Basically all of New England. Dunkin Donuts is just TOO strong for any competitor in NE.

it sounds like TV could use a restaurant that served dishes low in salt and sugar free, is there a national chain anywhere that you could contact that might meet those needs,

Barnies will be moving into the spot vacated by Starbucks from what I hear...

FWIW Starbucks left because the rent was increased.

Barnies got clobbered when they took over the space that Starbucks vacated on 466. They lasted about 6 months before closing. There was never anyone in the place. Are they asking for more of the same by moving into the Starbucks location in SS??
