[Bonanza]

Last week my husband and I had the occasion to go to one of the Costco stores in Orlando. When we were checking out I mentioned to the cashier and other Costco employee that we never get to Costco as often as I would like because it's a 50-mile drive each way. They went on to tell us that a new Costco was being built in Clermont and they expected it to be opened around November. The current manager at that store was being transferred to the new Clermont store.

They went on to say that the next Costco (Florida) store was scheduled to be built in Daytona. And guess where the next Florida store is going to be??? YES -- HERE --within about three years! I don't know about most people, but I am thrilled. I've been a die-hard Costco customer for over 30 years.
