We have had somewhere between 65 and 70 people on average a day moving into this area for at least 15 years. Even with those numbers Wake County only had one Costco until a year ago when they built a second one. We also have 2 Trader Joe's to serve 1.1 million people.

We have several Wal Marts and a Sam's Club the those communities. If you have 2 Costcos for 450,000 why wouldn't they put one in for 215,000 and growing. The Villages has been the faster growing community in the country, every year for several years now. I would think that someone in one of those corporate offices would see the writing on the wall.
