Red Lobster and Olive Garden!! Right now you have to drive to Leesburg for these places or to Ocala and I prefer to remain close to home when going out to dinner. :bigthumbsup: :bigthumbsup:

Joannes would be terrific as would Costco - I am also not a big fan of Sam's

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Definitely Sweet Tomatoes!

I agree that a Wegman's would be the BEST grocery store for TV - there is no other grocery store like it in the WORLD. In fact, grocers from all over the world come to Rochester, NY (home of Wegman's) just to visit and learn the concept of this amazing store.
It would be great to finally have good bread in TV - haven't found a loaf yet that I liked - tried them all - even the "gormet" varities in all the local groceries and restaurants like Paneras and Toojay's. Wegman's deli, prepared foods and olive bar feature dozens of varities - all so fresh and delicious. EVERYTHING Wegman's does if first class!

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

We definitely need some quality stores and malls on 466A that are golf cart accessible. My #1 choice would be Home Goods - so many of us drive to Orlando or Altamonte Springs just to shop for "home goods" to decorate our new Florida homes - heaven forbid if you need to exchange something for color or size - that's another 1 1/2hr. drive each way (ask my husband - he's done it countless times!) Everyone I speak to wishes there was a Home Goods store locally - even contacted them via their Web site - no plans as of this moment.
Who has power for this request?

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Franco....I believe an AC Moore store is due to go into the shopping strip across from Home Depot on 441 (it's like a Michaels but not as good as Home Goods). Better than nuthin'; somehow, I doubt 466A will ever be as robust for shopping as 466 and 441; probably just have the immediate necessity stores and a few eateries.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

I would like an Olive Garden, for a chain I think they do a great job.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Somewhere you could get dutch crunch bread. Have found any of this outside of the San Francisco Bay area.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Steak and Ale; Great Prime Rib!

Aurelio's pizza - Chicago's Finest!

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

There were rumors that Red Lobster and or Olive Garden were going in when Porter's left Spruce Creek across from Summerfield WalMart where Office Depot now stands. There were also rumors about a Costco coming in north of WalMart on rte 441 across from Lutheran Church. That was just another rumor.

A good addition to TV would be a First Watch. They serve Breakfast, Brunch, Lunch only. Last I heard they were looking at TV and possible sites. Would like to see a Friendly's open in TV. Their ice cream is pretty good.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

A great addition would be Jason's Deli. It is headquartered in Texas, and there is one in Altamont Springs in the shopping center between Baer's Furniture and Petco.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

We visited the Villages last week. Amazing lifestyle. Aside from rumours of new stores and a viable wish list, what new stores or malls are planned for the Villages. Does anyone know what is really on the books now and in the near future ??? ???

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

If you check the AC Moore website and go to Store Locator they have a new store listed as opening within the next year just south of 466. I believe it's off 441 in the area of all the new construction.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

No to Wegmans...............................Yes to Shop-Rite

Reason. Their prices are higher than any SM in the Northeast like Southern Jersey.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

A costco would be nice
also what do you all think about a Bass Pro Shop?? :bigthumbsup:

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

What would be nice is a real restaurant with a fine dining flair. Most of the chains just don't cut it for me.
How about real French or Italian or just plain American, but really nice. Forget the fat, grease, grits and gravy.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

A piano or jazz bar that stays open past 9:00 that people can sit around chat and enjoy music in comfort.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Wegman's is indeed terrific! Would really enjoy having a Charlie Brown's Steakhouse here: fantastic salad bar and excellent, reasonably priced meals. I don't think they exist outside of the Northeast, though....

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Kitrina,

LOVE the Christmas Tree Shop! They opened one in North Wilmington. When I go up to my sons', I always go there. Always go to Trader Joe's when up there also--the only one in DE.


Surprised there is no Dunkin' Donuts in TV (or is there) You can't go anywhere here without running into one.

Peggy

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Peggy,

There is a Dunkin Donuts on 466 in Southern Trace shopping area; I think an earlier poster had lamented that there wasn't one closer to their house.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Hi All,

I am very disappointed with Trader Joe's response. I just emailed them about the possibility of accepting an order from us and what the shipping charges would be. When they respond I will post the answer.

I have shopped at both Wegman's and ShopRite. Wegman's is less expensive than ShopRite,.

Would also like a Sweet Tomatoes here and Charlie Brown.

Sweet Bay is part of the Hannaford Chain, or perhaps it is the other way around, you can not compare them to Wegman's. Wegman's is offers more items and specialty areas and prices are better.

I have shopped in both Hannaford and Wegman's.

Now if we all could get our wishes granted. That would be great.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

HB - A previous post had this:

Sweet Tomatoes is being built--I think on 466. I LOVE Sweet Tomatoes.
http://www.sweettomatoes.com/

Not sure if this is true because the website still doesn't have a TV location planned.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Thanks Russ. I missed that post.

Do you think when you come down to TV you could stop at Trader Joe's to pick up an order for me? :)

Hyacinth Bucket

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

I would but i don't think that there are any near me.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Hi Russ,

The one I usually go to is off of I 84 in Danbury. You could take I 84 on your way down here.
:)

HB

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Please tell me what city you live in that you claim wegmans is cheaper than Shop-rite. I am from Mt. Laurel, NJ and we had to laugh at this post as we have shopped many times at both stores and find it opposite your claims.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Hi,

In New Paltz, NY ShopRite is higher. They have done studies on prices at this store compared to other ShopRites and this store continually comes in higher.

We have shopped in Wegman's from Binghamton to Geneseo, NY and they all have been consistently lower.

In New Paltz another chain has come in, I do not know if another price comparison has been done.

Where we live many people do not have cars, college students and senior citizens, and the workers at the local orchards are taken to ShopRite. I think that is why the prices are higher.

HB - I don't think the pilot would be willing to set the plane down in the middle of CT :joke:

But i'll ask!

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Hi Russ,

Not to sure the pilot would be willing - so here is the list of Trader Joe's in the Boston area.

Do you live near any of them? Have you ever been to one? Great place to shop, have high quality food items usually at a price lower than a gourmet or specialty shop.

I have found items there that I haven't seen in any other store.

If you have never been there, go when you can.

Best,

Hyacinth Bucket

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

I feel your pain HB, I miss Trader Joe's in Arlington, VA soooo much. I emailed them maybe a year ago, and asked them to please consider coming here. They replied that they can't open a store here, because they don't have a distribution center in FL. SweetBay doesn't even come close to being as good as TJ's!!

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

HB - You must own stock in this company. :joke:

I'll try to check one out but none are anywhere near Norton, MA which is closer to Providence, RI than Boston.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Hi Russ,

I wish I owned stock in the company.

HB

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Ok, I got it and can see why Wegmans would be cheaper in NY, since his home is on the lake by Canandaigua,NY. (Part of Finger Lakes)

When his stores open out of state his prices get higher like Publix down here.

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

We would like to see an Indian restaurant in or near the Villages...for the moment one has to drive to Ocala (one small restaurant...but very good) or Orlando (no experience there)...are we alone?

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

dd, did not know there was a good restaurant in Ocala. Please post name and address of restaurant.

Thanks, no you are not alone in wanting a good Indian Restaurant.

HB

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

Have you had a terrific corn beef on rye lately?

A Jason's Deli would be a wonderful addition!

Re: Is there a particular store or restaurant that you would like to see here?
 

I posted before, but I just thought of two more. Boston Market and an Uno's or Dua's Pizzia from Chicago. Mmmmmm the best! :bigthumbsup:
