Shoppes at Wyndham Village — Local services in Franklin

I'd like to review the Shoppes at Wyndham as both a consumer and an entrepreneur who inquired about leasing one of their open storefronts. As a consumer the shoppes are conveniently located in Franklin, offering a central location between many subdivisions, that had to travel more than 5-10 miles for most shopping trips, prior to their grand opening. However, after nearly a decade the storefronts still have far too many vacancies. Additionally, ownership has yet to attract a family friendly sitdown restaurant that might attract additional visitors. Several years ago my wife and I looked into moving her two jewelry stores into the shoppes. Unfortunately, for the rent that ownership wanted to operate even one store, we were able to keep both of our storefronts in Greenfield and Greendale, both of which were located in areas that see almost twice as much traffic.

Ownership seemed to lose their motivation after signing leases with big chain stores Target and Roundys.

This mid-sized Pick N Save grocery store offers a good blend of products. This is not a large super-store, so some product choices are limited. The produce goods, deli, cakes, meats, and other items again- won't rival a larger grocery store's selection, but most staples are available. This is a nice location if you need a few items, or you wish to avoid big-box locations. On good days- you get friendly and available staff. On bad days, there might only be on cashier to help bag a cart-full of goods for you and others in that line. They do have self-serve check-out line too. Personally, I prefer the Festival Foods on Hales Corners, but if I'm picking up prescriptions at the CVS in Target, the Pick N Save is...
