Default D'Lites is gone!

Went to my favorite ice cream store, D'Lites, last night and it was closed.....went tonight and the place is empty!! Anyone know if they relocated? No sign on the door to indicate where they went. Don't know how I will get throught the summer without them

Oh No - I loved this place and it always seemed busy. I wonder what happened.

With them gone, is there anywhere in TV to get soft ice cream? Where?

I have memories of custard. Well not personal memories. I have memories of Tony posting about his memories of custard.

Rt. 466 is the main East - West road that divides the main part of The Villages. Big City is down towards Walmart on Rt. 466.

Is there really an "Ollies" on 466? This could be bad news for us...we love Ollies!!!! BTW, Big City Grill, the original, WAS on 466 but have been closed at that location for some time now.

D'Lites has closed? Oh no, say it isn't true.

I loved chugging to D'Lites in my golf cart with my two dogs to get an icecream. I'm so surprised .. it always seemed very busy. Where else can you get low-calorie guilt-free icecream??

Unless they have closed to, there was an Ollie's next to the coffe shop at the other end opposite where Big City was.

I did not know that!! Wow - another place to get Ollie's custard. And the good news is that they always have at least one sugar-free flavor.

I will have to check it out.

D'Lites was located next to the coffee shop in that plaza on CR 466 for the last couple of years. Does this mean that Ollie has taken over the D'Lite space? I'd check it out myself but I'm in Canada right now.
