I've communicated with Costco's field reps for years now as to establishing a facility in the Villages. I've been explicit in asking them to come and see the dynamic,burgeoning growth of the area. I've also let them know of the demographic stats and they've always turned a deaf ear to my pleas. Perhaps it has to do with the exposure to Sam's Club?
In Miami we had a Costco,Sam's Club and BJ's that seemed to co-exist quite well in that they were not too distant from one another. Going to Altamonte Springs for a shopping spree at Costco is a bit of a stretch for many of us although we favor Costco.
