In the past we had both available very close to our Cincinnati home. We have purchased items of furniture from each and felt that both were well made and fairly priced. I am satisfied that Sam's is here. They have enormous buying power and some of their seasonal items are lovely, well priced and quickly in, and then out, not to be restocked. In the past we purchased a large three tiered fountain for our back yard in Ohio at a very, very good price.
It appears that Costco thought a couple of years ago that the market here was covered by Sam's. That may change as our population grows. Whether it opens here rests only on what the market can sustain, not on anything else.
