Default Sams vs Costco

Costco has a different marketing scheme than Sam's based on the number of cars in the parking lot at different times of the day and the amount of purchase per customer . If you compared the Costco stores in Orlando, Winter Park to the Sam's here the sales volume of Sam's would not even be close to what Costco does and requires to fit their logistical plan and marketing plans. Even in the middle of the Winter the sales of Sam's in TV would be peanuts compared to Costco in larger cities. Only way Costco comes close is perhaps Ocala but I seriously doubt that.
