Default Sawgrass Grove Opening Soon!

Just returned from a great bike ride on one of our beautiful nature trails down here to find this waiting in my inbox. We have been anxiously awaiting this news. Just one of SO MANY reasons why we love living south of the 44.

Since it will have the only entertainment venue that is shaded I think it will be very popular, especially in the hotter months.

Rcvd an email today from The Villages with a link to a Developer video re Sawgrass. Yikes it looks so wonderful. Great job. It will be a huge hit for the Southern area. I’m jealous but will definitely visit.

I think the residents have been the rumors of when it’s opening.
The video today is from the developer - they actually said days. Wonder if a soft opening will happen this weekend since many will be distracted with the holiday.

It's good that the opening is after the winter residents left as it would have been crazy in there. They should pretty much be prepared for larger crowds after a few months, maybe they planned it that way. It is something that was needed down here and will be a huge success.

Cant wait! We peeked in the windows just yesterday and it looks super.
We desperately need a coffee shop, pizza place, fresh vegs and ice cream down here below 44. Everything is a 15 minute golf cart ride now at a minimum.

Employees will be the key of opening, and hours of operation, just like any other business in TV. The franchise people will be in house, because it’s their money in jeopardy.

Another new and exciting addition to the southern area. More coming. So glad that we decided to re-locate here.

The good thing about the Villages is we can all enjoy everything no matter where we live.

15 minutes is nothing.

Hopefully, there will be enough workers available. Otherwise, it will have limited hours like McGrady's.

Workers were planting the landscaping and removing most of the fencing around the area today. It looks really nice.
