Under construction......Don Wiley included the progress in his latest drone video along with other progress updates throughout The Villages. Look for Goldwingnut on YouTube.

There is a substantial amount of underground utility work that has been started. It looks like it's going to be a real beauty when they are done.
BJ'S is a great store. It blows Sams and Costco off the map. It's really gonna beat up Sam's. They deserve the beating. |

I would love a BJs but I heard they were not coming. The lot next to Lowe’s where we though they were going is a residential development. Is there a different location mentioned.

BJ's is great but all of these buying clubs have different size stores with great selection depending on the location. The Sam's Club in The Villages is tiny compared to those located near large metropolitan areas.
I'm hoping the BJ's is a larger store but I wouldn't be surprised to see smaller store here. The fact that The Villages is located so far from a major highway is one of the reason's that companies build smaller stores here. The Villages is larger than Leesburg, Fruitland Park, Summerfield, Bellevue and Ocala combined, but the Sam's Club in Ocala is much larger than the one in Lady Lake. The reason is that the Ocala store is two minuted from I-75 which means that it is accessible to far more people. I find the 441-27 location a bit strange for BJ's. 466A would be a more central location and with a bit of forward thinking route 44 will eventually be the center of The Villages and the area to the south is much closer to both I-75 and the turnpike than the northern area. But I'm sure that BJ's corporate offices did all of the demographic studies and determined 441-17 to be a good location.

I've no problem with the Sam's in TV, either... I guess that's why there's chocolate and vanilla ice cream... Everyone has different tastes...

We like the BJ deli counter for the few times we have been there and plan to join BJ in addition to the Sams membership we have had for many years.
Find Sams to be larger than the one we belonged to in Va. |

Agreed. Every BJ's I've been to rates a distant 3rd behind Costco and Sams. They try to build membership by handing out free 90-day passes. Not worth it even then IMHO.

The one BJ’S that we went with friends didn’t impress me. It was near Ft. Lauderdale. Sam’s club in Illinois and TV is cleaner and better IMHO. That said, perhaps they are building bigger and better today.

All the active permits are still for BJs. I wouldn’t listen to the people at Sam’s Club, they may have a hidden agenda.

I hope I am wrong as we love BJs but last time I drove by in the golf cart all the signs were for a housing development. I never go to Sams Club.

We've shopped at BJ's for decades, love their meat selection/department. Costco quantities were too large for us, BJ's is just right. Never have been to a Sam's Club Looking forward to this new BJ's location, presently we travel down to the one in Clermont |
