New building works champions gate area.

[wellsy]

Just returned from another trip to Florida.

We stay at Indian Ridge and ususally food shop at Publix Champions Gate. We noticed there is a sign up next to the BP garage stating new shops etc. Anyone know what's being built?

Oddly there is a new Publix that's about 50% complete opposite the CVS at the Southern end of Old Lake Wilson Road where it joins the Osceola Polk Line Road. That's only about 3 miles from the Champions gate one.

As we always stay at Indian Ridge, it's nice to know that there is stuff being built down here.

Also, if you venture 1 jct down I4 from Champions Gate (intersection Route 27) there is a huge shopping complex being built. Already open are Target and Best Buy, but there is also a Dicks sporting goods, some sort of Book chain, and about a dozen other large units that are under construction and maybe 100 smaller units.

There is lots of new building plannned for Champions Gate and I am reliably informed that this includes an Outback and a Macaroni Grill[msntongue]

There are new shops just opened behind the CVS pharamacy including a Pizza Hut Takeaway and a Dunkin Donuts[msntongue][msntongue]

The development you mention on US27 is the new Posner Park development which is going to be huge[msnsmile2]

You mention the Publix location, Wellsy, being only around 3 miles away. Publix in the past have stated that they have enough evidence to suggest that with the area they can sustain stores 2 miles apart. Goin along the other end of the 192 they have one at Orange Lake and another at Berry Town centre on hway 27.

There is also going to be another shopping centre at the intersection of CR54 and Hway 27 (near the Fire Station) which is going to include a 12 screen cinema.
