The reason for another Publix is that is what the corporate office of Publix deemed would be a successful venture based on the increase of population.

Those decisions are not made by us wishing for it or the developer asking for it.

I wonder how much money Homegoods lost by not realizing how many new homes were being built and decorated each week??

The demographers who give information to expanding businesses are snoozing.

Hey Graciegirl, how about a Jungle Jim's! That was always a whole day adventure.

That doesn't make a lot of sense being about a mile away....but we will see:shrug:

I came from a place that had three Publix stores within 2-3 miles of each other all did well

I assume that all these Plazas are located on TV/Morse-owned property thruout TV. Seems as if the multiples of specific food/retail/restaurant have an-almost monopoly of these locations. Or there is $ kickback to the Developer for the locations. Not to be a broken record, said many times here...sure would be nice to have variety nearby - esp in the newly built areas of TV. These plazas tend to be mirror yadas.
Yes Gracie - a Homegoods or such...would mint money here.

:agree:

Trust me, greed isn't confined to the walls of TV. When I was in corporate world we trained adult Girl Scout leaders on how to lead and motivate girls. Some of the Girl Scout councils I worked with would have giveaways at the end of the training sessions . . . pens, note pads, candy, the usual swag bag junk. A small percentage of these grown women would rake armfuls of the freebies into their purses, bags, whatever. These are the same women that volunteered to help make our Girl Scouts into productive members of society.

When I worked in another department for the same company, I saw similar behavior from a small percentage of well-dressed men in suits attending corporate conventions. They would literally walk the rows of these huge convention centers filling their bags with freebies, most of which was complete crap.

It is just human nature. To some people, if it is free, give me three! For others, if it is free, they are almost certain not to need it. I fall squarely in the latter category. I do not need one more item to take up space.

Fruitland Park is coming so expect more stores, not less....Publix business plan has been successful so they will continue to build.
