I think that a point that a lot of people miss is that not all Sam's Clubs are the same just as all Costcos are not and all BJs are not the same. These companies tailor the size and inventory of their stores depending on their location. Stores that are located near major highways are much larger and have more inventory than stores that are in places like The Villages. Take a ride and visit the Sam's Club in Ocala and you'll see a big difference between that one the the one here. Go and see the one in Orlando by the intersection of the turnpike, rte 528 and I-4 and you'll see and even larger store.
Between the Villages, Fruitland Park, Leesburg and Summerfield there are about 200,000 people. Although this is more than Ocala and the surrounding communities, people can come from far and wide because it is a few hundred yards off of the exit of I-75.
It wouldn't surprise me to see one of BJs smaller stores go in here.
