More upscale means more expensive; who would shop there? Our groups of privileged/entitled?

I believe this Wal-Mart is just a grocery store. What more "upscale" you looking for?

Another Fresh Market type store would be a better fit with the neighborhood.

So true! Love Fresh Market.

The one we have is not too far, though. (It's on highway 466 across from the k-12 charter schools.)

I like it a lot more than Whole Foods. Their meat dept and bakery are superb. Prices are okay, too, for this level of market. They have nice specials, especially on meats.

About a year ago I was sharing the benefits of having a Wegmans as an alternative to food shop in on TOTV and ripped apart by a women who just posted on this thread. She passed judgement on me...me...the man who has bang for the buck in his DNA. I let it go but never forgot. Having a nice choice of grocery stores is wonderful. Walmart is going to be a diamond for the million dollar buyers of homes. We'll be there saving money alongside of them while they are cutting corners to pay that big nut every month for their million dollar home. More power to ya! I can say safely that I know of a second poster now that we won't be bumping into at Walmart. Be kind to the little people when you make it to the top.:bigbow::bigbow::bigbow:

I don't see the appeal of shopping in Walmart regardless of prices. Employees can't tell you where anything is and they sure don't care if you find what you're looking for. There are different stores in nice neighborhoods and I think we deserve better. The Villages is not lower class and the newest construction is quite pricey. How do you ask someone to spend over a million dollars on a home and seal the deal by boasting "And, you'll be able to get all your groceries at Walmart Market! "
You are entitled to your opinion...I am entitled to save dollars at Walmart.

We have a tendency to spend probably 70% of our grocery money at fresh market. On their days they have sales you can't find meat anywhere at that price for the quality that they have. The baked goods are worth the trip. But that's just me I have a tendency if I go to Walmart it's usually not for groceries.

By "lower class" I'm assuming you mean lower income. Many people in The Villages are in a lower income bracket and do just fine. I know people with high incomes that are very much lower class. If you think living in a million dollar house makes you high class ( your inference ) all I can say is excuuuuse me !
There are also people here, living in premier house's who worry if their money will run out that will appreciate a lower priced food store.
BTW, this new Walmart will serve the immediate area which includes Fruitland Park & The Villages.

Like button just pushed.

Certainly hope this new mini Walmart is not built on the vacant land between McDonalds and Walgreens opposite Publix. There is definitely enough land there to build a store, but the parking area would be way too small. There are already many complaints about the parking situation at this shopping area.

Could it be that the "unique retailers" don't have the same opinion of TV as you do? I bet "the developer" would be happy to lease to anybody.................

That's usually why they are rich.

It could have something to do with the developer's lease terms and conditions. Just sayin'. And please don't read this as criticizing the developer.
