According to posters they were so in love with BJ’s they drove to Clermont to shop. So not a big deal for those who routinely shop out of the bubble.
Up north we had 4 Costco’s, 3 Sam’s, within 30 minutes of our house. We always went to Costco, as stated previous post their return policy is golden.
My 3yo dyson was giving me problems, I was buying a new one, cashier said bring the other one back. We did next visit, return excepted with a smile and sorry, and full refund. Printer died, replaced, kurig coffee pot, same thing.
All of our prescription glasses are bought there. Had an issue with glasses, after18 months and they replaced the lenses. Staff is always helpful and seems happy, or if they are having a bad day, it’s not reflected on you.
We drive to Wesley Chapel for Costco since the day it opened, great shopping area, restaurants, and if you love Indian food, there is a large Indian retirement community in Wesley Chapel with shopping and restaurants.
Clermont will be closer drive, for quick Costco shopping, but if we want to make a day of good food, shopping, we will still travel to WC.
You will always have those who will complain about driving, outside the bubble. That’s understandable, it’s out of their comfort zone, of driving distance. Until that happens to us, off we go to Multiple areas of Florida to enjoy. So shop Costco or don’t, the loyal diehards will still travel, for that frozen cappuccino,
