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.

Danny. Miami has a population of over five million according to this;

I am not saying that Costco isn't a great and valid wholesale store...I am just saying they aren't here because we aren't big enough to support them and Sam's. That is all. No conspiracy.
