I have owned Photography Studios, Make Up Studios, Hair Studios

Any help would be great, i have seen a few shops to rent so would not be hard to get things in motion.
I think you'd do very well with a hardware store near Colony Plaza. The closest establishment is in Wildwood and its not golf-cart accessible. You wouldn't have to stock big-ticket items, just all the stuff we need because of wear and tear. (something about the size of an Ace Hardware would be perfect.)

That Mexican restaurant in Colony is absolutely terrible. They put so much sugar in their tomato sauce it is actually cloying sweet - and the ground beef tastes spoiled.

STAY AWAY!!!!!

A Great Harvest Bread store (franchise) in Colony Plaza would be fantastic.

Yes, I think a nice indoor pool would go over pretty well. What about in the open area around Southern Trace....across from the Villages Schools?

It seems that they had plans for that area, but they must have fallen through .

not really gonna happen in the villages if dough is being made with locel water. my husband found the bread offerings at fresh market on 466 to be closest to "home" with a better than average crusty roll there. if ya haven't been there yet - give it a try.

Thanks for the advice! I'll give them a try.

Off Topic to njbchbum: I really miss the Jersey Shore (Wildwood).
