We tend to go to the Winter Park location (45 miles) most often; but I suppose it depends on each person's preferences/routines. We loved the idea of being about to do our Trader Joe's shopping, Whole Foods shopping, and Costco shopping all in one day.... plus the allure of having a great dinner at one of the fantastic restaurants there before coming home. The fact that we could also make a "Nothing Bundt" stop was also a powerful "motivator", LOL, now of course, we HAVE our own Nothing Bundt ! Otherwise, our favorite Costco location is Sarasota.. much further of course, but we just do that one when we are going to the beach there for the day, leave beach about 4:30, do our Costco thing, and still get home at a reasonable time... for seniors...LOL ! Another reason we use the Winter Park Costco so much is we LOVE to eat at Another Broken Egg (first discovered on a trip to Charleston 5-6 years ago) in Winter Park Village. Now we are going to have that great breakfast/brunch/lunch choice right here too soon !
