It's slow because it's not being built by The Villages.

But regarding the pace at Jersey Mike's, The Villages isn't ever involved with the interior finish work needed to open a new business. That is handled by a contractor hired by the new tenant.

Is the pace any faster at the Villages-owned Sarasota Plaza or Lake Deaton Plaza -- or Brownwood Paddock Square, for that matter. I feel the pace is the same and it's controlled by the tenant, not the developer.

Jersey Mikes open date is Jan 9th according to the staff at the northern store. Suspect that has to do with staff, taxes in a new year and easier to pass on the zoo that is December.
