SERVICE left the big chain retail business years ago with the advent of online shopping.
How bright do you think it was building a new Sam's 12 miles apart? They really goofed up. We both felt that the one up near Newark Airport was a little bit on the dicey side to go to. We are still so happy to be here for the safety aspect of shopping. I also can't wait to shop again instead of all Pickup or delivery orders.

What did they ever do with the Sam's property that they closed? I haven't been back to the North since Christmas of 2018.

The service at both we felt was severely lacking. I'd rather be here and I think our Lady Lake Sam's Sucks Eggs! We still use it as part of the food planning process over here.
