True Dat!!!!:agree:

Several Championship golf courses would top the list of businesses I’d like to see open.

My top three would be 1) A good bagel place 2) A Taqueria 3) An Indian restaurant

Best shoe store ever, Beckers in Mt. Dora

Would like another bagel store but wonder if we would give them enough business to survive.

Would like a good Greek restaurant.

And don't forget the pack and ship type store; they're everywhere! LOL

Actually, if I could wave a magic wand and have anything I wanted, it would be to see my 2 favorite places ever in or near TV: Cheesecake Factory and Rain Forest Cafe.
But I agree there needs to be more retail, groceries, and basic business choices in the Southern areas.
Although I grew up in the mountains where anything and everything was at least a 30 minute drive, these days I'd rather not have that long a trip to go shopping, etc.
I also miss the days of good indoor malls, but shopping on-line sure is convenient.

Well said.

Not going to happen. Dunkin Donuts would be the donut place expected to open. McDonalds. Not enough profits for DSW, Target, "shoe repair" to open there. If you are lucky a new Publix may open, otherwise you will drive to Magnolia Plaza.

Dunkin donuts is too busy putting itself out of business by making foolish decisions.

Would rather see a Timmys.

Is the new Portillo's going in on Villages owned property on 27/441 or non?

Duck Donuts is fresh made donuts as you wait.

Problem is can you imagine how many old people would be yelling at employees

“What is taking you so long to get my donuts”:icon_hungry:

When all they need is a weak cup of coffee and a doughnut made two days ago, and rode in on a truck, to make them happy.

No mention of regret! Why the native reaction??

Hense why the newly constructed houses are lower priced than most of the pre-owned house (minus some of the Phase 1 parts of T V north of 441) from the southern to northern end of T V .

New areas are going to have a looooong wait for retail other than Publix plazas. Not even sure the boasted about medical research hospital is still a thing down by Eastport...

Just sold my property south of 44. I headed north of 44 to be closer to retail. If you aren't into being close to shopping then the new areas are perfect and the price point is a bonus.

Magnolia Plaza took about 4-5 years to build out. 2018 is when I explorered T V. Fenney was the sales center and Magnolia Plaza was a field. 2019 Everglades was built and Publix was after that if I recall. At least one can play golf and have fun passing the time while waiting.
