Default Ollie's isn't located on 466

See the post below from someone who knows Ollie's very well.

Ollie's Frozen Custard is in The Spanish Plaines Center across the street from Lowe's on 441. That is their only store in The Villages. They aren't taking over Delites old store!

Alot of people thought that D'lites was Ollie's- I don't know why? D'lites sold what I thought tasted like ice milk-Ollie's sells a Premium Ice Cream called Frozen Custard, They also sell a Sugar FREE-Fat FREE ice cream that most people who need this type of treat LIKE.

Ollie's is alive & doing well. They have been in their current location almost 10 years-oldest & BEST Ice Cream shop in the Villages...See my Picture-I'm holding a cone of Ollie's and Lovin every minute of it....YUM

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??
Bare, D,Lites wasant near as low carb or low calorie as they had advertised, once that was made public knowledge I think it hurt their business. It didnt surprise me that they had to close their doors.

Well That's strange, I drove down to the Walmart on 466 today and there's an Ollie's sign on one of the stores at the front of the Wallmart parking lot in theat little strip where Big City used to be!

Was D'Lites the place in LSL that sold knickknacks and had a soft serve machine or two in the back?

Linda was looking forward to an orange cream next week!

I thought the place I'm thinking about was Ambrosia?

Thumbs up We're Coming get ready

We visited in April and bought. Now we're having a house built on Ashwood Run in Pennecamp. Closing is set for July 7th. My wife is coming down on May 13th to shop for furniture to fill the new house. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated as far as stores for good buys and delivery. We're gonna need everything cause we're still going to maintain our NJ home for now.
Thanks
Skip

Oooops, Newbie posted in the wrong spot. I meant to post this under general questions for the Village residents and their experiences, sorry.

Default The CR466 D'lites sign does read "Ollies" from 150 feet or so.

I drove by the CR466 D'Lites this morning. It does say "Ollies" from CR466.

Then when you get closer, it reads D'Lites. I guess the small "d" and the L makes it look like o--l--l--. The t is also small and could be a "i" from a distance.

Russ.... Ambrosia is still in LSL and has the orange/vanilla, pineapple/lime soft serve dairy free product. I do believe this store has changed ownership in the past year but the 'ice cream' remains.

Look forward to seeing you and Linda next week!!!

Article in Daily Sun today regarding D'Lites sudden closing. No reason given since franchisee closed the door without advising anyone.

Ooper is full of pooper.....is it ok to say that on here???? Well anyway, we made a trip up to the infamous new Ollies location on 466 and guess what, it ain't there. I think Taltarzac is onto something as far as some letters being mis-read and making it look like Ollies. Oh BTW, I think Ooper recently got new glasses so that could have added to the confusion.
