There are a lot of complaints about The Market at Sawgrass Grove.
If you owned it and could make any changes, what would you do? |

I would sell it and use the proceeds to go scuba diving and golfing : )

I don't expect it will improve with time. If enough people tolerate the prices and practices, even though they don't like it, then the business has no motivation to change. |

I would begin by reading the other thread with 131 posts.

Did. Thought this was not about what you think is wrong (the other post), but a different question about what would you do different.

Correct. It is always easy to complain. Much harder to offer helpful suggestions. We will see how many people have useful suggestions.

Serve food and beverages using real dishes, silverware and glasses. Cushions on the chairs. Soundproofing on the ceiling.

It hadn't opened yet when I was there but I saw the Villages promotional video as the place was close to opening. From looking at the video my initial impression was that the place looked like an echo chamber. I didn't see anything that would absorb any sound. I'm fine with noise as long as it doesn't reach the level where you can't hold a conversation. My guess is that if/when that place is full and they add some music it's going to be very loud.
I think the quality/price of the food/drinks is a self correcting problem. Poor operators won't survive. So doing something about the sound/noise would be my fix. |

I'm not in the food services business, and I haven't even been to the place yet, but from what I've read on TOTV, I think they have to make a choice between inexpensive fast food delivery, or charging enough to allow them to serve food worth eating, on real plates, with real knives and forks and glasses. It reads to me as if they are charging a premium for the thrill of being in the facility, but not serving food that is worth the premium compared to the food and cost of going to a decent restaurant outside the bubble. That might work at a sports venue, but I think the "thrill" of being in the Sawgrass facility will wear off very fast if the food and service isn't worth the cost. |

They are waiting for The 470 developments because they will have no other option. Visited once and have no reason to return

Turn the whole damn thing into a pro shop/country club like all the ones north of 44 that are crowded with people from below 44 who have little or nothing in the way of restaurants.
