We also go to Sam's but if Costco opened within a half hour of here, we'd go there in a heartbeat. The sad thing is that the Sam's Club here is one of the smaller ones in the chain. The one in Ocala has much more of a selection.

But I don't consider Ocala convenient and I certainly don't consider an hour or more drive to Wesley Chapel convenient. I-75 may be easy to get to for some of you in the south, but for many of us in the northern part of TV it's a long way just to get to the highway.

It's surprising to me that many chains have not moved their stores to The Villages. TV has a larger population than Ocala, Summerfield, Bellevue, Fruitland Park and Leesburg combined. It seems that we should be the center of the retail industry.
