Default Costco

We belong to Sam's Club and are very disappointed in it. There selection and consistency is poor at best. I used to shop at Costco up north and found it to be far better than Sam's Club.
The problem is that the nearest Costco is one hour and seven minutes.
Ny wife is currently sending an e-mail to Costco asking them to consider locating a new store in the area of the Villages. The fact that the Villages now has apopulation of 110,000 should be quite an incentive. The Villages is larger than Ocala, Leesburg and Altamonte Springs. I'm surprised that large stores would locate in areas like this when we have a much larger potential base right here.
So, I'm thinking that if all of us that like Costco and would like to see one located here, would e-mail or write them, them might think about it.Who knows? Crazier things have worked.
