I hate to hear that. The one in Colony has narrow isles and hard to get around with a cart. SweetBay has done it right with wide isles. It's hard to believe Publix would plan on a smaller store in an area that will have many customers.

New publix

In fact, I have heard that the Publix will be a size smaller than the one at Colony. The plans for the store and center were posted online and linked here a few weeks ago.
To those who have documents showing a new publix, please inform the district manager of this area for publix that they are building a new store. He has no idea as does the publix manager in colony. Checkouts do not make policy decisions as someone quoted all the checkouts know about the new store.

The documents that were posted earlier clearly showed Publix in the artist's drawings of the area. Maybe that is no different than an artist drawing a new building with autos out front and one of them happens to be a Chevy, doesn't mean a Chevy will be there.

However, I think they (Publix) would be foolish not to build/lease there.

No shopping centers for the Villages....

I just read every single post on this topic and silently, had a good chuckle.

Can you imagine if Morse read all this stuff? Why -- he would be laughing as hard as if he was at a comedy club!

A post in another thread today states the Publix sign was being put up today. I intend to take a picture of the sign to post here for those who are so positive a Publix couldn't possibly be build in/near Brownwood. Time will tell.

I love Publix...I love their store brands, and I love the variety of deli items, and I love that you can buy almost everything you need there.

Another report to add to the mix. A friend swears that they saw some drawings about the land NOT owned by Morse family on 466a that starts beside Sand Hill golf course. They said they saw a space for a strip mall, housing, etc., and what they said was "a big box " store. Don't know if that is even true, but maybe that is what some sales people were talking about when they have told potential residents a "MALL" is going to built near Brownwood. I for 1 will believe all this stuff when I see it. I agree with the poster who said if he read this site that Morse would get a big laugh. I have never lived in an area so secretive about what is going to be built. My city would publish in the papers and put up signs about what is coming long before anyone broke ground. What is the harm in letting us know about new stores and restaurants?????

Front page of today's Daily Sun should resolve this debate.

You are probably talking about Trailwinds Village. That was discussed a few weeks ago. Here's a link to one of the threads https://www.talkofthevillages.com/fo...village-49559/
