From the online news site: "The station on County Road 466A at the far eastern edge of The Villages abruptly shut down last week after the longtime operator reportedly opted not to renew his lease in Florida’s Friendliest Hometown."

Shell has been bailing out of villages property. If lucky at that location circle K might move in like they did north of 466.

Didn’t a prior thread earlier this month say it was going to be a 7-11, and the burger station owner was looking for a new home

Actually that Colony gas station is not on Villages property. TV sold that to a company in St Petersburg in 2007 for $1.5M

Probably closed because of the same reasons other businesses close, not enough profit

More like he (the gas station owner) had an out and took it. I assume $$ was involved.
