I would love to see a Costcos near TV, but I'm a little skeptical that some VP at Costcos will base a decision to open a new store based on emails. I would guess they have very sophisticated tools that analyze traffic patterns, zoning regs, labor market, competition, taxes, government incentives, demographics, life style data, foot traffic, other retail draws, etc. I really don't think that someone says we got 100 emails from "Jack" and "Bob", so I think we should open a store. If the analysis is good, they will build a store even if they don't get any emails. If they analysis is bad, they wont build a store even if they get a thousand emails.
