you can be sure it's not Trader Joes, they don't build stand alone buildings with easy access parking lots. They like strip malls with no parking.

As if the congestion is not intolerable enough here.

And skinny aisles packed full of stuff so you can't get your buggy through.

FWIW, I know several SoCal TJ's that are standalone.

See picture 3 for the area with detail. A few wetlands around it

Just what we need another strip mall. So that would include a nail salon a Chinese restaurant maybe another insurance agency and what else can we think of? A dental office

Wasn’t there a previous thread about this property when Goldwing pointed out site months ago. Fun thread about what we don’t need more of in a new strip mall.

This "strip mall" seems to be more for vendors that you would visit infrequently like insurance companies, mattress stores or a flooring store. It's on a divided section of 301 and is only accessibly to Southbound traffic. I doubt anything too exciting will be located there.

According to a Sumter County Commissioner, Costco Wholesale Corporation will open sometime in 2025 on County Road 466, next to the Hobby Lobby and behind Fresh Market.

The Villages bought all the land on the other side of 301 behind the hotel that runs along the turnpike so keep watching.

The one in Dr. Phillips stands alone, and we’ve never had trouble parking.

Yes, I’ve heard this too, but so far they haven’t done anything on that lot yet. That’s my point.

Same here with the SoCal TJs. It’s where we shopped weekly, though our closest one (5 minute walk) was in a shopping center with a Ralph’s supermarket and several other stores and restaurants, so it had a lot of parking.

Wow, another empty strip mall? Maybe Bargains and Blessings can put in an outlet? Wawa isn’t doing the area any favors. Ask yourself what is happening to the existing strip mall that’s a ghost town on the corner. Ever since WinnDixie pulled out the place has been dead.
