Default The Villages Golf Cars Magnolia Plaza Replacement

Hi,

I saw today that on 07/21 The Magnolia Location of The Villages Golf Cars is moving to Eastport. Are there any active rumors about what might go in that space in Magnolia Plaza?

Good spot for a larger restaurant (Cheddar's, Olive Garden, Claim Jumper, etc.). Separate from the main strip center and with its own parking so you're not fighting with the grocery store's parking lot like Reveille's does.

Bad news - Like the location for me! The building most likely will become an Automotive repair/tire store. The building would be quite expensive to retrofit for retail or restaurants. However, there are some people that are extremely creative that may come up with something different.

Come in and get your oil changed and tires rotated while you enjoy lunch, cocktails optional...

Guessing developers had a business in mind once they moved down to Eastport. It’s a big showroom, with little service space. Maybe they will move their golf cart seat store off 44. Tire or mechanic shop won’t work, without major overhaul.

The reason for no gas pumps was because of 7-11. That I highly doubt. The next business didn’t need pumps. It’s a prime location, developers has something in mind.

About a year ago I posted this information either here or on FB. I was told that I was wrong.

Zoning probably won’t allow it with Publix being right there.
