I sent them an email also and got a similar response. I think they are making a mistake not coming here.

The "new" one discussed in this thread will be about 3/4 mile west of the intersection of Buena Vista and 466A, in the Pinellas Shopping Plaza.

Both locations are about the same distance from LSL and both are located on 466A, about 3 1/2 miles apart.

Hope that helps you find them on your map.

Thanks Don,

That was one of the things I wondered about during my visit. I only saw the one gas station.

But will it have a Dunkin' Donuts? Funny thing about this post but we were coming back from the Eisenhower Rec Center today thinking that even to go to Colony would be a hike to fill up the 'ol golf cart.

WAWA would be great. They have very good fast, fast foods. Donuts not bad either.

Just looked at the legal notices for the Daily Sun online. This is the best I could discern from reading the notice. I am not business savvy when it comes to these things. So... Legal notice posted 1/30/14 for 1.14 acres for gas station known as Clark Convenience Store at Pinellas Plaza. Appears owner is John Clark Oil, Ashland KY and Villages of Southwest Plaza LLC, 1045 Lake Sumter Landing, The Villages. I tried Googling John Clark Oil. Not much luck, appears to be a wholesale petroleum outfit with 30 trucks(according to DOT). So I am thinking, no WAWA, 7-11 etc. Maybe someone else will have better luck looking all this up online.

Here's what I found on Clark:

Home | Clark Brands, LLC

They seem to license independently owned convenience stores/gas stations under the ON THE GO label.

Most Clark gas stations closed decades ago in Northeastern Ohio. They operated out of a very small standardized building big enough to hold candy bars, potato chips, pop (soda) and cigarettes. I remember this because they had a sale on gas when they opened up...it was 25 cents a gallon. Filled up my Camaro for $4.00!

WAWA is moving into FL slowly but they are!

Best price I have seen is at 44 & 301 there are several gas stations there.

I'm sure a gas station at that location will be more expensive because they have a corner on the market since they are the only one within a couple of miles. Even if they are a little higher, it will be worth it to fill up a gas golf cart because they are so close to some of the newer areas.
