They have a bunch of new stores nearby and the Tampa Premium Outlet Mall is right next door and about 4 miles east is The Shops at Wiregrass Outdoor Mall. Here's a google map on directions.

Here's the layout of the Costco Location.

The Shops at Wiregrass is like being in a downtown on city streets, it's really nice. The anchor stores are Macys and Dillards.

Thanks for posting all this details and map ! When I go to Costco I go to the Winter Park one and that seems a much shorter trip down OBT. I like that I can make a Trader Joe's and a Whole foods (at winter park village) run on the same day and all in one trip, but the mall and map you kindly posted has definitely been put on the to do list !
