I will restate again I would like to see a Costco here. Even if the Costco has no intention at this time to build a store here they might in the future, so what would it hurt to log on to their site and comment that you would like a store here. If 100 or 1000 people did that once a week, it might make a difference. And for all those who want to chime in with the negatives, I am not interested in your opinion. If you are so smart about the future you probably have more money than you need and do not need to or want to shop at Costco. I however would love to see one here, and if you feel the same it would be great to get your help. Thanks

The bottom line is not wishing they were here. The bottom line is if it is financially feasible to be here and for them to make a profit in the numbers that they think is worth it.. I was all ready to make that request and
will do so, but it isn't likely they will build in the immediate future after having read the letter from the person in charge.. Maybe a fast increase in population will sway them, and a fast increase in population is assuredly going to happen here.
We had memberships to both in Cincinnati, but in the last few years dropped Costco. I don't think there is a HUGE difference between the two. I must say that Sam's Club has good meats. And great one at a time offerings on items for the yard or for holidays. They have huge buying power and can get excellent items at a very reasonable price. And you can bet those suppliers are going to stand behind the items if you run into an issue of quality. We bought gorgeous outdoor wrought iron panels that we had embedded into a wall in Cincy for an excellent price. They had them one season and that was it. They don't restock on items like that. That is how they do things.
Costco fans? What do you like BETTER about Costco????? I may just rejoin Costco and drive to Orlando.
