Default Looking for a Business

We've owned property in the villages for several years and finally moving full time next year.
Being that I will be 55, I would like to continue working for a few years. I have owned several businesses from restaurant/bar, retail, etc.

I am looking for either a current business in the Villages or suggestions for a needed business in the Villages.

I believe any person who is honest and fair will do well. If you aren't, people will figure it out and post about it.

A good restaurant will make money here. But there are a lot of them. I would steer clear of leasing from the developer, though. I heard they don't negotiate, and it's their way or the highway. A business just off the TV property, but still accessible via golf cart would be a plus but not essential. You could still tap into the TV residents and also have the surrounding population.

I like that idea. I thought of it too. Some people just love keeping their car perfect. And I'll bet quite a few never had the time to do that properly while they were working.
I have a small car and a wand that I could aim at my wheels that get so dirty so fast would be perfect. I don't feel like buying and storing a power washer.
Do you even have to hire anyone at a self serve place?

I also like the idea of self wash car wash. I don't want to always use the drive through ones.
