Can’t imagine a retirement community being able to support a true country club. The private club we belonged to was $20,000 buy in at build. When only 23% wanted to buy in they opened to the public. The private clubs that prosper have clientele that still is working, and small percentage that has retired.
In SE Florida there a number of private equity country clubs that cater to seniors. I the 90s my parents bought a home in Wycliffe Golf and Country Club. The equity was 40,000.
I think if they made Glenview private equity the memberships would sell out very quickly.

All they need is 1% of villagers to join. The equity cash is equal to hundred of thousands of rounds of golf. Add on $10k in dues???

If any CC thought it would be a lucrative to go private, it would have been a done deal years ago. Think of the equity that could have built up for over 20 plus years, and yet not one course has put forth a proposal to the residents. There must be reasons for staying public. Glenview does have tiny locker room, but it would have to be 10 times the size to go private.

On September 25, we stopped at Sawgrass for a cookie. It was about 2:00. Better atmosphere than our first visit just after the OP. We got our cookie from Darlin’s. They also have a nice selection of cakes in the side display (I did not know this until I saw a GoldWingNut video). We bought a piece of “Florida Orange Cake” that was absolutely delicious. Music from McGrady’s wafted across the “square.” People were eating and drinking. I agree the place has its flaws. I think it has potential.

The last time I was there, the seating at Sawgrass was behind closed doors. Could you still hear the music from McGrady's?

There is outside seating on the east side of the building with access from inside, it's been there since they first opened, not a lot but enough to go out with a drink and relax with a few friends.

"I'd like a medium pepperoni and sausage pizza".

"We only make one size and it's 12 inches. You can't order a pepperoni and sausage pizza. You can only order a pizza as described on our menu - but we can add and subtract toppings."

Their menu details 5 or 6 pizza combinations (each selectable pizza has several toppings on it). One of their selections includes sausage plus other toppings and another of their selections features pepperoni plus other toppings.

We chose their "sausage" pizza - deleted the onions - deleted the roasted green peppers...and added pepperoni.

The sausage combo pizza is priced at $15.00. No monetary deduction for eliminating the onions or peppers. There was an upcharge of $3.00 for the pepperoni. Total including a tax of $1.36 was $19.36.

I handed over $20 in cash. The receipt showed Total Due 19.36 / pymt cash 20.00 / Change Due .64. The cash register knows change is due - but Frenchy's policy is - they don't give coin change. They have a sign that says no coin provided but it is not located near the register.

Our pizza order was placed at 12:13pm (per the receipt). Our boxed pizza was presented to us at 12:48pm. Paper plates were not offered - but were provided upon request. The paper plates were....more paper then anything else. Very flimsy and couldn't support the weight of a small slice of pizza with just two toppings on it.

Frenchy's uses a wood-fired oven. The bottom of the crust was not crispy and was absent any degree of visible leoparding.

Darlin's Sweet Shoppe will not accept cash - only cards.

At least one other establishment (possibly 2) have signs posted indicating they will not provide any coin type change.

The majority of seating in the market area consists of flat steel or solid wood seat bottoms.

Them the facts and nothing but the facts...

I was there about a month ago. I found the whole Market setup WEIRD, unfriendly, not worth ever returning to this place. I feel badly for the people who bought homes down there, expecting a cool "square". What they got - and are getting - is not a friendly-enjoyable place to visit. Sad.

Until you get charged to use your card. Or, even better, your card gets lifted by a thief or scammer. Good old cash comes in handy, IMHO.

You are right, i think the head aches would outweigh the benefits.

Sounds like a pizza rip-off and a tedious experience. Sorry!

Does anyone know where the funding came from to build Sawgrass? And who owns it now? Where does the rent go? Who maintains it?
If "we" paid for it, could the rent be drastically lowered so that we get the benefits of it?
Lower costs will drive selling prices down. That attracts more business and happier residents.
Wouldn't it be so much better if there were dozens of posts all over the internet raving about how great it is.

A few places are charging to use the card but not many and not much of a charge. My number has been compromised once (over 10 years ago) and after I canceled the card I had to use my backup card for a week - annoying, but not too much trouble.

Good old cash is handy until you don't have enough in your pocket, it falls out of your pocket, someone takes it out of your pocket, or you have to pay exorbitant ATM fees to put more into your pocket. A simple piece of plastic (two with a backup) eliminates all of that.

I would think the developer financed (either directly or vis bank loans) and owns it... Just like they do with the other shopping areas and town squares on TV property...

I was also down there this past Sunday and unfortunately it's a case of one and done for us. We thought everything inside was overpriced. Lunch at McGrady's was good and they had a decent selection of beers on tap, but lunch was also pricey: $20 for bangers and mash and $19 for fish and chips. There is no comparison between the fish and chips from Havana and the fish and chips from McGrady's for the same price.

However the happy hour half price drafts are a good deal.

Good food as well. I'll take a Smithwicks any day over Bass. More flavor - maltier, breadier, and smoooooth. No bite on the back end like Bass. Everyone's tastes are different, that's why there are so many beers out there!

I am sorry you are receiving such snarky comments here on TOTV. Not everyone thinks your post is comedy. Sawgrass will go through some growing pains. I truly don’t think what you see today will be there in couple years, or even one year. The proprietors will learn the hard way as to what sells and what doesn’t. After seeing, and tasting, what is there now – I would have preferred a 7-11, at least I would be able to get a quart of milk.

Where will we sit?
 
I apologize if this topic was already covered in this post but....

In looking at the layout of the entertainment venue at Sawgrass, I am wondering -- since there is no permanent (tiered or otherwise) seating -- how is that configuration going to comfortable accommodate dancers and seated audience? I was watching a drone video and I just can't see where all the chairs are going to be placed..... Thoughts?

I’m guessing it’ll be like the other squares. Dancers near the stage. Chairs toward the rear and on the periphery.

[QUOTE=ThirdOfFive;2137372]Salt Lake City and Denver appear to have reasonable (compared to most airports, anyway) pricing on food items. Most others don't. LaGuardia for some reason sticks in my mind as really high-buck. We had an eight-hour layover there once and spent quite a bit for two meals. Service was rude as well.

Last month at Minneapolis - St. Paul airport I had a three-hour early morning wait for my flight. Looking for breakfast I spied a major chain place with long lines and very high prices. Just across the concourse though was this little joint staffed by Somalis (maybe run by them too as there has been a push to assist minorities to develop small businesses up there) that I had never seen there before but which had self-serve breakfast sandwiches and really good coffee for significantly less than what the other place was selling for. Prompt, friendly service as well.

The pizza place has a small selection of pizzas starting at $15 each, plus you then have to wait 10+ minutes to get your pizza. Also, what if you want pizza but you're alone, or the other people in your party want to get their food from another vendor? This doesn't really fit well with their food court concept. They should primarily sell slices for $5-6 plus people would only have to wait 2 mins instead of 10+ minutes.

By the slice could sit for hours under a light. Concept is food made when you order.. Can't make one slice at a time.

Last video Jennifer stated entertainment will open in a few weeks. Hopefully sawgrass will come into its full potential within a month

The buy the slice model works everywhere else in the US. Most pizza places just throw out the unconsumed slices after a predetermined time.

I've been to fairly high end pizza places in bigger cities and many, if not most still offer slices.

No one wants to carry around a half of an unconsumed pizza while they hang around Sawgrass for other things.

vintageogauge 10-10-2022 09:23 PM
A by the slice window at any of the squares would do very well and I have always wondered why there are none, maybe TV won't allow it.

They have been saying it will be “opening soon” for the past year so a “few weeks” seems to be an improvement-depending on the definition of few.

It would be nice if they would explain the reason for the delay.

Challenger 10-11-2022 04:21 AM
Noise level is extreme with Bar being main offender (TV). Could not carry on normal conversation among 6 people at table. Food outlets will probably refine and improve over time, but I suspect that noise level will progress to an even higher level.

If I am eating pizza, it needs to be fresh out of the oven, crispy crust.. I won’t waste the calories on a pizza that’s been sitting under a light for 10 minutes…much less take home leftovers……but it’s an individual taste, some eat it cold out of the fridge.

The point is not the 64 cents, it is that they use this phony "we don't make change" policy to steal money from their customers. A little here, a little there, adds up to a whole lot of stolen (and very likely) unreported income by the end of the year.
If they won't give you your change or round the balance down, then you're being scammed. And so is everyone else they have done this to.
When I was in my 20s I worked in sales for a liquor wholesaler. One of my customers who ran a store told me many of his customers would tell him keep the change. Many times it was 25 cents, maybe 10 cents ( that's when a six pack cost $1.90). He would thrown the coins in a box, when he hit a dollar in change he would convert it to a bill and so it went. At the end of the year when he tallied things up he had $500 or more.

Take a short drive up route 301 to Pasta Faire. A wide variety of delicious and substantial pizzas at very fair prices. Wednesday is pizza BOGO day whether you eat in or take out. Best pizza value around.

Doesn't it seem that the owners are simply profiteering by taking the position of "no change" rather than making the short trip to the bank to get it? I know that the restaurant business is hard, but that is no reason to fleece the customers. Businesses will suffer in the long run.

I don't think there is a law that requires a business to calculate an individual 7 percent tax on every sale. They only need to pay the State the proper portion of the gross income for sales tax. So, if they want to avoid coins, they could just charge an even amount for the food. But, I have not seen very many businesses that do that.

And, I'm certainly not suggesting $60 for a shot of whiskey is reasonable. I wouldn't pay that no way, no how. Precisely why I don't drink :)
Still, it does seem that all Villages businesses are at the high end of the price structure, relative to surround inn businesses. Probably due to the Developers unusually heavy tithe. Shame on them; just how many billions do you need to consider yourself successful?

Many "by the slice" joints bake their pizza to "almost done", and will put the slice back in the oven for a minute or two for a final "bake off"... You'll get your crispy crust that way...

When I dare venture to Manhattan and what to grab "a slice", that's what they do...

In the six years we have been here, we have not noticed that. We just identify the businesses that we enjoy going to and we go there.

Life is pretty simple for a lot of us.

I’ve never seen pizza sitting under a heat lamp. The oven for two or three minutes method is all I have seen.

If your going to sell by the slice and reheat it no point to keep under a heat lamp but for health reasons cannot sit too long at room temp.
