Costco fact!
 

Not a rumor, but FACT! COSTCO is coming to The Villages in 2025. A person in Corporate told me that a few weeks ago and a manager at the Altamonte store told me yesterday that Clermont store opens in November. Daytona Beach opens in 2024 and The Villages in 2025. Not a rumor. Fact!

Should a retiree buy in bulk?

I'm retired and may be in my twilight years but I'm pretty sure I'll go through another 48 pack of toilet paper before I'm gone. (or granola bars, chicken breasts, printer ink, aluminum foil, dishwasher detergent, vitamins, cheese, etc, etc, etc)

Travel to any big box, M-F, near TV, every morning you will find 70% of clientele over age of 50 shopping, plus sitting in the gas station, getting $5 worth of gas. To your answer yes they buy whatever they choose with their money, bulk, TVs, computers, health needs. Have you ever seen a empty Costco parking lot, unless they are closed

If you have room to store it, why not? Bulk is almost always cheaper and prices are still rising on a lot of things.

Take a look around the growth abutting The Villages (and Middleton). Those are Costco customers.

Yep. And my barber's girlfriend's former mother-in-law's dog walker's mailman told me the same thing :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Yet another COSTCO rumor thread. FACT.

Urban myth

I'll never understand the obsession with Costco.

So my $600 dyson stopped working. While buying a new one cashier asked if it was our first pet dyson? Told him our 3yo that we bought from Costco died.

Told us bring it back next time, we will refund you no box needed, as long as you have all the accessories. Returned with zero problems, full refund, that why people shop at Costco, customer service.

Been saying it was coming for years.

While I am the one who is accused of "nitpicking" and "parsing", I appear to be one of the few posters able to detect humor...I expected people to build on your humor but no, they wanted to argue with your question.

and your post was funny. thanks

It isn’t a “fact” until the store is built and open. It is strictly a rumor until you see it published by Costco.

Could care less if Costco comes or not we enjoy the field trips out of the “bubble” to Orlando

It’s a rumor until they file for permits. Don’t see it happening, Clermont is too close. Near new Bucees in Ocala would make more sense. No location in Gainesville. Two destinations that drive big volume of traffic right off 75.

Clermont, FL
Opening Tuesday November 14, 2023
