We stumbled onto the Sams Club in Ocala on our way home to Ohio a couple of weeks ago. If you go out the 'backdoor" of the villages, out 466A and through Wildwood, it is about 15 minutes,maybe 20 if I remember rightly. It was a lot closer than we thought. We got gas there, much cheaper. It was MUCH busier than any of the Sams Clubs we visit in Cincinnati, and much smaller. I am glad they will be opening in Lady Lake. Their buying power is so huge that they have great deals on things that are not restocked, such as outdoor furniture, fountains etc. As well as a lot of other things. AS YOU WELL KNOW.
