Hello -
Has anyone been to the newest Publix @ Magnolia Plaza yet?
Any opinions, any suggestions and which other stores would you
"villages-southerners" wish that would open up in the area ?
Thxs

Have you closely seen the field clearing @ the intersection
of SR 301 & Warm Springs Avenue ???

re: Magnolia Plaza... Publix... suggestions which other stores... Village-southerners
Thank you for asking. I live in Monarch Grove.

re: Magnolia Plaza, Publix
The new Publix opened just after I left town for a spell. I have not been there. The Publix at 695 Kristine Way, The Villages, FL 32163 is nice. You have to do some hunting for organic items - just ask. I assume the Magnolia Plaza location is similar. I will definitely be shopping there (Magnolia Publix) in the future.

re: suggestions
These Costco stores already exist:
1. Costco, 8000 Parramore Road, Jacksonville, FL 32244 <== I stop here on the way down to TV
2. Costco, 2225 Grand Cypress Drive, Lutz, FL 33559 <== Easy drive on I-75 south / Factory outlet mall & many other stores in Lutz
3. Costco, Altamonte Springs, FL 32714 <== Map services claim this to be the closest - maybe so, but the Lutz, FL Costco is such an easy drive (there is an Outlet Mall "next door")

Suggestions (part II - these do not exist locally [as far as I know]):
+ Sprouts Farmers Market
+ Whole Foods

What is already here?
1. The Villages Grown, 2666 West Torch Lake Drive, The Villages, FL 32163 <== Say 'Hi' to Owen
2. Fresh Market, 3470 Wedgewood Lane, The Villages, FL 32162

This one is for the sake of my friend, Janet, who just relocated to TV:
3. Trader Joe's, 3724 SW Archer Road, Gainesville, FL 32608

Please note that I buy:
1. Organic products
2. 100% grass fed beef

Yep! The new Publix at Magnolia has exactly the same layout as the one up in Trailwinds. According to one of the employees, this is the current plan they are using for new stores. It has self checkout registers and an upstairs seating area if you would like to eat your Pub Sub there. Overall, very nice!

So in other words TJ's and Costco are coming here soon. Thanks for passing on such great news.

According to Costco's web site there are not any plans to build in Wildwood. There is a possibility they will build in Clermont in 2021/2022. That would be 38 miles from my home. I hope it happens.

So far, only one poster claims to have been to the new Publix at Magnolia Plaza. I hope they can stay in business.

I was riding my bike by there around 7 am. The parking lot was packed. I am sure they know what they are doing and how many rooftops they need for a store. They will be fine.

FREE always draws in crowds. If it’s a free bag the lines will be long

We would need a minimum of 10 requests posted on that thread for us to contact Costco and make them an offer they could not refuse.
