I think Walmart will be heavily visited because it’s needed and it’s Free. We have Walmart+, so rarely ever need to visit, except to buy fuel every 6weeks.

Costco has had a cult following since its launch. We have been members over 20 years. I have never been to a Costco that has empty parking spots. Costco fans will shop more frequently because it’s close.
However there are many TV residents who Won’t spend a dime to join. I doubt Costco will need to Giveaway $25 membership like BJ’s did.

So Free Walmart shopping traffic may win over Paid Membership Costco by a hair.
