Timothy Weaver+FollowBig changes coming to The Villages’ first grocery storeThe iconic Winn-Dixie at La Plaza Grande, the very first supermarket in The Villages, is set for a major transformation into an ALDI. For longtime residents, this marks the end of an era—many still remember when grocery runs meant a trip to Leesburg! With ALDI already open at Lake Sumter Landing (also a former Winn-Dixie), it’s clear the area’s shopping landscape is shifting fast. What do you think about this change? Will you miss the old Winn-Dixie, or are you excited for more ALDI options? #Business #LocalBusiness #TheVillages00Share
Mrs. Jessica Morgan+FollowUnited HealthCare calls out The Villages Health saleUnited HealthCare just dropped some serious accusations about The Villages Health’s bankruptcy and its rushed sale to Humana’s CenterWell. After years of exclusive deals and branding rights, United HealthCare says it was blindsided by the bankruptcy and left out of key talks—even though it’s likely the biggest non-government creditor. The company is now questioning why The Villages Health is moving so fast to sell, hinting that the owners might be trying to dodge massive liabilities tied to Medicare overbilling. What do you think—should United HealthCare have a bigger say in what happens next? #Business #TheVillages #HealthcareNews276Share

It’s been caught on camera roaming the Rio Grande Villas—Phyllis Tester even got a late-night video!
