I would think that most people who shop at the previously listed big box stores do so by default only because of convenience/proximity, and due to the fact that there isn't currently a Costco in The Villages. I'm sure there are a few holdouts who will claim that those existing stores are better. They are incorrect.

The residents of Middleton in particular should be quite happy with the news.
Existing business will also loose experienced/trained employees/managers to COSTCO.

The Clermont COSTCO is probably a faster/easier drive most times from Middleton and other southern Villages than driving north/south through the Villages.
