I know there are a couple of TJ’s in the Orlando area, and technically they may be a bit closer than Gainesville. The TJ‘s in Gainesville is right off the first exit of I-75 once you get to Gainesville, so it’s a really easy up and back, not as congested as it can get once you get into the heart of Orlando.
We had 5 TJ’s within 20-25 minutes from our up north home…4 Costco 20-30, and a commissary 45 minutes away. But is wanting a good restaurant, it was 30 minutes. I really don’t understand what so many here cringe if they have to drive more than 10 minutes. We are happy to drive anywhere to get something worth our while, food, shopping, entertainment. Maybe it an age thing for those who don’t like to drive more than a few minutes or shouldn’t drive more than a minute
