Home Depot is opening in Wildwood, not Costco!

They are currently training and onboarding employees for that location at Lady Lake.

I wonder why HD HQ would say if they were called?

Wildwood Ace is my go to place.

For the majority of my hardware needs, I prefer Ace on 301. It is easy to get assistance and they usually have what I need.

I agree - service at Home Depot and Lowe’s has declined over the years. For knowledgeable and helpful service and information, Ace is the place!

Try Ace Hardware on 301. They have everything plus a knowledgeable, personable staff.

Becoming? It is already a nightmare, and more and more apartments and houses are being built... many many more.

I have a relative who works for HD and that is what they are being told. Some of the Lady Lake staff have already transferred there.

[Priebehouse]

[QUOTE=MrChip72;2323196]Definitely not a week. The store has no stock being brought in at least when I last looked a few days ago.

I was in the Lady Lake store today and employees mentioned they will be training the staff for the new store beginning Monday.

A friend who works there says opening 5/27/24. Not golf cart accessible.

Memorial Day is May 27th. That day is a big day for stores like Lowes and Home Depot. That would be a great grand opening day for Home Depot.

Costco is coming to The Villages in a year and a half. They will be building on 466.

Can't wait! Lowes is a complete train wreck. Bought an outlet box last week. Paid cash since it was only $3. Didn't need it so I brought it back and they will not allow a return because I did not have a receipt and it was not put on a credit card. They said it was a new policy and now all us law abiding people have to be punished for a few who apparently steal and try to return. Now I know one customer that Lowes sent to their competitor for a lifetime of purchases in exchange for $3. Maybe they'll put a Costco where the Lowes is when they go out of business!

I'm anticipating the Wildwood Library across the street ending up with abandoned carts there everyday.
