While I also prefer Costco over Sam's, it is difficult to make the West Palm Beach comparison to support the business case for Costco to locate here. There are actually three Costco's, two SAMs and a BJs within a 15 mile radius of WPB ( and none to the East in the Ocean). There are also probably at least another 400,000 people in their market area ( Wellington and Boynton Beach each have about 60,000 ). And most of these people better match their targeted market. ( currently employed with children at home).
I would be very surprised if Costco decides this market is big enough for them to locate a new store here.
