Think Whole Foods. Where are the closest WFM's to the Villages - Orlando, Gainesville, Tampa, or maybe Ocala?

Three things you should never discuss here: religion, politics and Winn-Dixie vs Publix

Would an Aldis or a Walmart Neighborhood Market or a BJs work?

466a? Why not south of 44?

Why not put the new store in the South area?

plus thousands of new people arriving daily.. winter birds ready to fly and all resources are needed..

Ah, all the choices, and close by too!

…and it’s golfcar accessible. Publix at Trailwinds is not, nor will the new W-D be “in” The Villages.

Agree, but that's a question for Winn Dixie. Has nothing to do with "The developer," it's outside TV

But, not to be nit picky, according to Google Maps, from the intersection of 466A and Micro Race Track Rd. to Aldi's is 4 miles.

“I heard”. Those are two words that requires much more detailed information…

I have not heard of many of them. Any people have experience with some of the obscure ones??

The Fresh Market
Hy-Vee
Lidl
Market Basket
ALDI
Stew Leonard's
Publix
Sprouts Farmers Market
Wegmans Food Markets
Trader Joe's

I've been in five of them. Some are only found in certain areas: Publix near Florida, Wegman's near NY.
