I'd like to see some kind of micro brewery here.

janmcn 12-31-2013 06:15 PM

I would like to see another Katie Belle's at Brownwood, with live nightly entertainment, a state of the art sound system, and a five-star restaurant. And how about another Church on the Square?

Barefoot 12-31-2013 06:27 PM

Tim Horton's Coffee
Swiss Chalet Chicken

And why don't the grocery stores in The Villages sell vegetable bread?

PattyCakes 12-31-2013 07:51 PM

Another vote for Cosco!

Tell me what vegetable bread is... sounds really good.

A terrific thread. Here are my suggestions for adding to CR466a.

1) A " Storage Facility "

2) A " Mattress Store "

3) A " Chiropractor "

4) A " Law Firm "

5) A " Used Furniture/Clothing "

6) Last but not to be overlooked... Yet another " Strip Mall "

hema54 01-01-2014 07:31 AM

Planet Fitness, cheese cake factory, surf & turf market, southern steer butcher shop, traders joes,

costco

Maynay 01-01-2014 08:27 AM

Ann Taylor Loft...Wegmans...Wawa...Trader Joes. The women's clothing store selection in this area is pitiful!!

Patty55 01-01-2014 08:45 AM

I would like Mystic Ice Cream in every town square.

Is this a test, nitehawk? If so, funny! If not, I must disagree with your statement. I think even paradise can be improved upon. :D

Two needed..........
1. Would love to see a new Ollie's Frozen Custard south of 466A. - love that stuff but a real hike up there from Brownwood area.
2. drastically needed - a golf cart accessible gas station south of 466A near Brownward area. - closest now is at Colony Plaza about a 20 minute trip by golf cart.

A car wash would be GREAT!

I would prefer BJ's over Costco, but would welcome either as long as they were on the south end of TV.

And another vote for Trader Joe's and more non-chain healthy restaurants.

I'm sure the next couple of years will bring a variety of new resources, especially around Brownwood. Exciting!

Clermont has a new Hobby Lobby, not a Home Goods.

HMLRHT1 01-01-2014 01:10 PM

Costco, another Publix, gas stations, car wash, JC Penny's, Apple store, breakfast restaurants. All down near 466A or Brownwood

The frozen makes an awesome dip. Cream cheese base then the skyline chili and topped with cheese!!!! :MOJE_whot::mmmm::MOJE_whot:

l2ridehd 01-01-2014 05:18 PM

Costco, Wegmans, Trader Joe's, WaWa, and a really good high end special occasion place to eat.

Whit53 01-01-2014 06:06 PM

I would like to see a Costco and trader Joes.

Anxious to see what goes in at Brownwood.

Just heard today a Cheesecake Factory, truth or rumor I do not know. .

gerryh1943 01-01-2014 07:27 PM

Costco,Costco, that would take that 1 1/2 hr. Ride on a busy road away.

Its a test

Dr Winston O Boogie jr 01-01-2014 08:06 PM

There are thousands of musicians here in the Villages. You have to drive all the way to Ocala or Orlando to get to a good music store. I'm kind of surprised that with the Villages population exceeding that of Ocala and Leesburg combined that someone wouldn't open a good music store here.

wjk1912totv 01-02-2014 04:41 PM

Ditto on Costco

buggyone 01-02-2014 05:48 PM

Isn't WaWa something like a 7-11 and usually hooked onto a filling station?

Don't the little convenience stores hooked on to RaceTrack stations provide what you would need from a WaWa - but I may be 100% wrong on what I think a WaWa store is.

livsea2 01-02-2014 06:13 PM

Wawa
 
OMG no Wawa is special. FAR superior to racetack, 7-11, etc, no contest. Soft pretzels, hoagies, fresh made sandwiches, FREE atm withdraws Bring Wawa to the Villages! :BigApplause:

TJs would be nice a nice resturant would be great

skyking 01-02-2014 06:52 PM

Costco for sure and Chipotle second.

Xavier 01-02-2014 06:59 PM

A really high quality, expansive offering, bakery. You know - with special holiday breads, pies, cakes, rolls, etc. along with the standard offerings. I am totally surprised that no one has seen the need.

Xavier

LittleDog 01-02-2014 08:32 PM

One more vote for Costco.

Francie 01-03-2014 07:57 PM

I love so much about TV, but am adding some fun "nice to have" items and other items that would really take it to the next level:

*Wegmans Food Market
*Tim Horton's Coffee Shop
*AAA-type service for golf cart breakdowns
*Charging stations for electric carts at the Regional Rec Centers (all colleges have electric car charging stations)
*GPS/Google Maps for Golf Cart/Multi-Modal Paths
*Preferred Seating at the squares for Villages ID holders
*Additional Bowling Alleys at LSL and Brownwood
*Larger Print Signage on Golf Cart/Multi-Modal Paths
*Catholic Church on the South end of TV
*Ted's Hot Dog Restaurants (Charcoal grilled year-round)
*TV Newspaper with Hard News/Editorials
*Gas station near LSL/Sweet Bay
*Garbage & Recycling Totes (with covers) (Ban plastic bags placed outside on curb - inviting vermin).
*EZ Pass Type Transponders to open gates (versus having open winder, scan card)
*Racquet Ball courts
*College level courses at Life Time Learning College
*Farmers Market at Squares
*Food & Wine training kitchens
*Employment Center/Call Centers for Work at Home Opportunities (great jobs for retirees!)

Hope this stimulates some discussion and is meant to be thought provoking.

There is a Catholic Church on the south end of TV. St. Vincent de Paul.


I have heard nothing but praise for Wegmans.


Remember to put all of your wishes and suggestions into the yearly survey from the developer. It gives them clout to show some of these businesses they are wanted.

Francie 01-03-2014 08:55 PM

Thank you Gracie! You are a class act!
