I don't mind Publix either (their still #1 with me), BUT VARIETY is the SPICE of life! So NEW STORES would be appreciated! #1 HOME GOODS/MARSHALLS! #2 STEINMART (since Macy's would be pushing it) #3 WAWA (OR ANY convenience) store, do love our WAWA though! #4 HAVERTY'S!!!! Just a thought

I know that this is a 'wish list' thread...but it makes me wonder how far people had to travel from their former residences to get to something they miss having close to them here? Is travel from the Brownwood area to Southern Trace/Lake Sumter really an inconvenience? Were your stores/services back home really closer than they are here? My house in Maine is at least a 15 min drive from everywhere - but we knew that when we bought there.

Agree with the need for a good ACE! Not fun having to drive to Wildwood or farther to buy (or often, TRY to buy) common hardware items. It needs to be within 5-10 minutes, by cart, of Brownwood and cart accessible.

A Super WAWA would be awesome...it would take care of a convenience store, a coffee shop, a sandwich shop, a gas station, and although not in jersey, it would also have a beer cooler. They are now in Fl...so why not The Villages????

Wondering the same thing. A large percentage of this wish list is already here in The Villages or really close by. These corporations are not going to open a second or third location in a very seasonal small (relatively speaking) area.

The Villages has grown..when we first arrived (15) years ago, we had to drive for many things. The growth has been awesome, but most of what has been "wished" for is here, and duplicating it south of 466, in most cases, is not going to happen.

I second that request........we hear there will be a Dunkin Donuts in Brownwood........which I hope is true.

Remember "America runs on Dunkin".
