Not a big demand in TV for clothes to be 'taken in.'

Normally you'd have to pay someone real $$$ for such suggestions. Must be nice you want it free. There are many businesses that can't be run from a home in the villages. If your friend(not you of course)isn't able to think of their own idea I would tend to think they might not be able to run a business in this fashion.

Does anyone have any ideas I can pass by him that would be good here? Something besides the obvious Golf Carts, Golf Clubs. There must be something out there that is missing here that even Amazon can't fill. Think outside the box. Thanks
What is his background?

Convert all the people that don't need Windows to Linux Mint. It would save them from having to buy a new computer for Windows 11. They wouldn't have to do updates (unless they want to). They really wouldn't need anti-virus software. And it would add life to an old PC.

Yes. I did find on the web that Sumter county does have a Transit service..

Their site states:.
Sumter County Transit offers door-to-door service and deviated fixed shuttle routes. And, that you should schedule 3 days in advance..


Transit | Sumter County, FL - Official Website

But, I think a transportation service within the Villages would do well.

Day trade - easiest living you can imagine. One of the reasons I retired at 45. That and my long AAPL investment

[QUOTE=davem4616;1962904]I'm gonna go way out on a limb here and make some suggestions...

I don't believe that there are any flight training schools inside TV for people that have a hankering to learn how to fly.

Great idea. Most definitely going way out on the limb. Food for thought though, a large population of the people here can barely see the road to drive a car let alone fly a plane. Seen a car driving down a golf cart path lately? Seen it too many times. Or how about the round-a bouts? A Plane would be really scary. Not a ride I want to take. Just saying.

A Garvinos type store in Brownwood would be a great addition there.

Open another Brooklyn water bagel closer to Brownwood in the Villages. Their one store in Lady Lake is crazy busy all the time with lines out the door.

Top Golf would be a huge success here! But, I bet the land and startup costs would be very expensive.
