Totally agree.

But golf cart accessibility brings in significantly more traffic flow, so it’s a trade off between volume and expenses.

Every supermarket that is golf cart accessible is on Village's property.

Maybe.
I was at BJ's this morning.
Row after row of empty spaces at the head of each parking lane.....all empty.....all with a sign "Golf Carts Only".

So the Publix and the McDonald's in Magnolia are rented from the Villages? Does anyone know who built the buildings - was it the developer or the tenant? I have no experience in commercial real estate but I would hate to pay for the construction of a building that is owned by the landlord.

Developer builds the buildings. Just like all the real estate in the squares and all the other commercial real estate (i.e. The Plaza’s) that is golf course accessible.
A store like McDonalds will give the developer their specs for a building, but the owner of the real estate arranges for it to be built.

Places like BJ’s and Costco, where savings are had by buying in bulk, don’t lend themselves well to the limited cargo space in golf carts. Places like Publix and Winn Dixie, when only buying groceries for two older people, are prefect for golf carts equipped with a large cargo bag that attaches to where the golf clubs go.

Thanks for the explanation.

We throw our Yeti in the back end, and off we go to Gainesville..Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, great restaurants. Nice trip away especially in the summer when UF has very little students on campus

Yeah, nobody goes there any more. It's too crowded.

A tax write off? Are you imagining that the people who run WD have a plan to open a store that they believe will lose money, intentionally, so they can "write off" their losses against the profits of profitable stores?

No. It will be on the northeast corner of the intersection of Micro Racetrack Rd and Rt. 466A (Miller Blvd).
It will be interesting to compare pricing to those on Villages property.

Publix in Trailwinds has the same prices as Publix in Colony. I doubt there will be a difference in for the 2 Winn Dixies.
