The only possibility I could imagine, someday, is South Ocala off of I-75. That could make sense.

The Ocala metro population is 396,415. The closest TJ store to The Villages is Gainesville with a metro pop of 332,317.
Not sure that logic applies- there is a Trader Joe’s in Hadley MA- population 5,300, even including Amherst brings it to 48,000. There is a Trader Joe’s in Hyannis MA (Cape Cod) with a far less winter population than TV at 220,00 the entire Cape- Hyannis= 14,300 year round residents
