Definitely a Starbucks is on my criteria checklist to move to The Villages.

Default Starbucks has way too many stores and they are pruning
as opportunity allows. Just look at how many are within 5 miles of TV.

I think Panera's popularity drove them out.

I'll second a Krispy Kreme. Can you believe that Krispy Kreme went out of business in Rhode Island?

They've closed some overlapping stores around here too.

Dunkin Doughnuts and McDonalds have cut into their business big time.

Starbucks decision process around closing stores and opening new ones is strictly around margin. You have to wonder about the rent structure in TV with the huge business turnover. Every time I was there they seemed busy. I would think that TV management company would prefer to have a stable business profile for their rental properties vs the current turnover rate. Savy business people looking to lease space want that information and use it to select a place where they can make a profit. In the property management business you want to attract and retain good solid business tenants. My guess is Starbucks is high on that list. Seems TV is driving to many good businesses away with their rent structure. Even the really good ones will cut corners and it only hurts us, the consumer.

Dunkin' Donuts would be great and is gaining more popularity here in Florida. BTW, we could use a Boston market here too ! Good fast meals, priced right.

I can't say that any coffee that Starbucks has is worth the premium price.
