That being said my guess is there will be a gas station closer to the corner where they put in a turning lane on 301. We might all be surprised with a Walgreen's too as they don't like not being close to CVS which is going in the Magnolia plaza. One last thought or comment, they are building a large retail complex on the west side of 301 just south of the turnpike ramps, these usually have a large anchor tenant so I would guess that something big will be in there but who knows what at this point. We have been down here since May of 2017 and are only just seeing these signs of future retail.

You may be mistaken about CVS at Magnolia, I've heard it's a CVS minute clinic only

I never thought that people would be so excited about a 7-11 going in. Who knows, next there could be a pizza shop. Whoopie

Bridge is in the process of being built. It will probably take 15 minutes to drive a cart from Fenney to the new bridge which will be south of Monarch Grove. Yes there's a gas station planned.

It's coming, patience grasshopper.

Due diligence works best. Hammock at Fenney is the most far away from anything and everything (except Fenney Grill :-)). Good luck!

Rule of Thumb:

If you accept these two presumptions then you probably will not be disappointed with their promises.

1. Add two years two any timeline the developer gives for the construction of any project.

2. When they say that there is a defined limit to the expansion of The Villages, know that they are lying.

Your first mistake is believing what the realtors tell you. They only want to sell a house and don't care what they make up

[QUOTE=Cyndee@twc.com;2071136] When we purchased our home, we were told there was going to be a new bridge over the Florida Turnpike. to make it easy getting around . then we were told about a Gas station and a small strip mall on Warm Springs Road, I have written to several people and have not got any answers. Anyone have any information or is what we got what we get.

20 years ago when my home was built just north of here there was nothing, over time about a year we had a Publix today we have a Walmart's and over 20 places to eat and much more. Hang in there, things take time.

Why blame the developer to continue to grow the business. Circumstances change so why should a business not change their plans as things happen?

You mean the greedy developer (sarcasm) didn’t put in and open stores/restaurants before selling house like everyone says they used to do. Oh my!

Because it is a matter of honor and trust. If a pledge is made and it can not be fulfilled then the proper action is to explain why, especially when it is a repeat occurrence. Remember, people made major life decisions based on their word.

Would have believed you but have found some glaring exceptions.

We were in Juneau Alaska(52K population) and they had a Costco(about 1/2 size of a regular store)

Gypsum Colorado with a population of less than 10K and 30 miles from Vail has a full size Costco.

Have been in both and ? if these stores, particularly the Colorado store, break even.

I didn't hear it I read it in The Daily Sun, maybe they were mistaken.
