That is a great idea!! I am sick of giving Amazon all of my accessory business!

This seems like it would be a terrific business to start. I did'nt see much golf cart accessories in the cart stores and being able to go to a place and just pick out some different cool lights or mirrors would be hugely popular. Kinda like a Harley store for golf carts.:coolsmiley:

  • A Boston Market, although there is one in Ocala.
  • A cafeteria like the Morrisons that used to be in Florida.

How about a mini-golf course for all of us non-golfers and grandparents to have a place to bring the grand kids for some fun and entertainment.

Around here Morrisons and Picadilly merged several years ago so if there is a Picadilly around there
it should be the same. They're both good.

-There are no dance wear stores here. Many dance troops around The Villages, but everyone has to order their shoes and tights on line because there is no where to buy it here. Many dance wear stores also sell costumes, which would work well with the clown college. Also need to sell stage makeup, which works with the many theatre groups.
-Music stores are non-existant here, and there are so many musical groups here. Someplace that could repair instruments, sell pianos, and have a department for sheet music.
-There is no personalization store here. You know the ones where you can get glassware engraved, or monograms put on towels. That kind of place.

This is just a short list of all the kinds of places that I have wanted and that are not here. Many of the other places I have missed are chains, and wouldn't help you if I listed them. Pleeeeease, open one of these!!!!!!

Just to let you know...National Coney Island will send you all the 'fixins'....my sister-in-law sent them to my stepson in Georgia for Christmas.
