Construction reports, and building permits and talking to the GC's on site. Now I will say they have suppose to have started this deal along time ago. It keeps changing. The GC that did the Red Lobster was telling me that alot of the Rest. Chains have stopped building, and pulled the plug on alot of things. He was suppose to bid on a Ruby Tuesdays, but he thought that was getting the axe also. I am surprised that they are going forth with Burger King in Buffalo Ridge. THen they are suppose to start the Lady Lake Assisted Living real soon on CR-466.
Alot of things in the works, just depends on economy I am hearing. If i hear something different will post it on the Friday's. Still think it is awful small area for them, but good location.

Fridays
 

I got confirmation too. 1045 Old Camp Road, same location - it's a GO. :icon_hungry:

I am hearing that it maybe delayed again. They are going to do Morgan Stanely by Sweetbay. Should be starting that deal today. Then on to Creeskside Mill for Cold Water Creek. Then I think it will be Friday's if they dont delay again. See what happens.

"something" is happening now at LSL near the bridge by the canal--behind Barnes & Noble. I thought that might be TGIF's. Lot is cleared and marked. P.S. My assumption was wrong. Just read in the paper this morning that this lot is for Coldwater Creek Clothing Store NOT TGIF.

IMHO there's not enough parking anywhere in Lake Sumter let alone building a new restaurant.

Parking
 

Lack of parking? Wait until the Wellness Center moves and Spanish Springs has a large event like the monthly Cruise-In. The developer may start to charge for parking then.

TGI Fridays will get their own (national) building contractor.

Tgif
 

Yesterday, I read on The Villages Gourmet website that plans have been approved and the TGIF will be coming to TV. There was no date on this message that I could find, but believe it was more recent that this thread. Hope it's true!!:coolsmiley:

Skip, TGIF is supposed to build at LSL, what does the Wellness Center and a cruise in at SS have to do with this thread?

Lighten up a little buddy. Parking in LSL was mentioned and the parking situtation in SS was another comparision.

Yes

On the Money!! Coldwater Creek will going up before they start TGIF.

Sorry, folks. I heard that Coldwater Creek (ladies clothing) is going in there.

Coldwater Creek aka... Creekside Mill is a different Location than what we are speaking on. We have already started Creekside Mill. TGIF is delayed. Rest. Buisness is not a good move yet.
