Finally a convenient Costco
 
I used to go to the Costco on Orange Blossom when I went to Orlando and then they moved it over by the mall and it was a nightmare getting in and out of there so stopped going.

Now an hour down 75 at Wesley Chapel exit 275 is a new Costco. Easy on off 75 and North of the 75/275 split. Big super store with every department, gas and tires, pharmacy and all the Costco items. Very easy 1 hour trip from here straight down 75.

Now would like one a lot closer, but for now this one works fine. Take a cooler with ice and it's a total of 3 hours round trip with an hour in the store.

Id say worth the trip stock up beats Publix's deceptive pricing and Winn Dixie double the price offer you 2 for one scheme

We go to the Costco in Longwood/Altamnte Springs. Closer to 75-90 minutes on 441. I will go 90 minutes on 441 all day before 6O minutes on 75.

Wesley Chapel also has a nice outdoor mall, the Shops at Wiregrass, and a completely separate outlet Mall. I've been to Wiregrass and it's really nice although it can be hot on a sunny day.

No such thing just for shopping.

Imho of course. :)

Newer Orlando Costco
 
A Costco near the Mall of Milennia in Orlando opened in the last six months. Only an hour and 15-minute drive and lots of good shopping around it.

Me too. We have Sam's. I like it fine.

really like the Costco at Millenia. They carry prime meat and great shellfish. I do not like the meat at Sam's. Plus there are great restaurants in the area and great shopping at the Mall.

Thanks, we'll give it a try.

For the last 10 years I heard a Costco was coming soon near the Villages. Perhaps this is it at Wesley Chapel!

No sign of them coming to TV. I check their website all of the time for coming soon locations. Nothing very close.

I just saw a small section of prime meat at the Lady Lake Sam's Club.

I bought a package and it was good not great. Prime at Fresh Market and Costco much better.

They are not accurate about planned construction. New one here being built and no notice in north florida area.

By the time TV is "Built out", only 30 minutes from Wesley Chapel and Costco. Close enough.
