I was then told they would send that request to the regional manager. If a lot of Villagers would do this, we might get their attention.
I heard that Costco has decided that the demand for a store in or near TV is so great that they will partner with the Morse family to build a monorail to the one near Millenia Mall in Orlando. That's the only way we get one. Folks, Costco is not coming to TV. We do not meet or even approach meeting their sales marketing demographics plan for a store. Forget it and make a 50 minute drive each month like we do. Go to Park Avenue in Winter Park following and have a nice lunch in one of the upscale eatery's.
