My husband and I go to Costco in either Orlando or Tampa Bay almost every month because we love their products. We time our airplane travel around it, and some of our health care visits.
There is a very successful Costco in East Peoria IL. Th whole MSA in Central IL is only a little over 385,000 residents.
