Costco- Any updates since Don Wiley Video?
 

Hi there-

Anyone have any updates as to when Costco will be starting construction?

Haven't seen or heard anything since Don Wiley mentioned it in his Video that they will be coming here.

Thanks-
Jeremy

Permits take time. Lot is still just dirt and weeds

Sometime 2025

If it's going to need Wildwood sewage treatment and it has not yet been approved it most likely won't be open until 2027.

I don’t know why they didn’t built down south who goes way up north…:blahblahblah: actually I wish they would have, going to be even more traffic nightmare on 466 and 301. Let’s get petition up and get it out of Or neighborhood. :a040:

I will be fine. Everyone thought the new Sprouts would be a traffic nightmare on Beuna Vista off 466. Also, there are no traffic issue along 441 by Sams or BJ's. No traffic issues by the new Home Depot by 466A. It will be fine.

You can keep tabs of it at this link below. Costco updates it about once a month or so, and it tells you the ones opening in the approximate next three months.

So that whole retail strip on 466, which is not in Wildwood, is connected to the Wildwood sewage system ?

Huh? Northbound 301 is already a nightmare for the mile approaching 466. And Powell (462/139) is awful as you approach the 466A intersection from either direction, which is poorly designed.

Everyone posts don’t move south of 44 there’s no retail…so glad all that traffic gets to stay north, and we just have to visit once a month. Especially with Costco that will be busy from open to close. Now is all they have to do is find something to put in the empty schools:girlneener:

Building will eventually stop when all properties are finally built out between the 6’s.

Hoping 44 corridor stays retail free for at least 10 more years. Don’t mind driving north 15 minutes to traffic chaos.

That mile approaching 466 is heavy only during rush hour……..

I don't mind any more traffic. I really like the idea of having a Costco so close to home. CAN'T WAIT! Prior to moving to The Villages, we have always had a Costco within a ten minute drive. I want that again.

Very disappointed that they did not consider a place further south. In this case, I see no reason to join them. I will just keep my Sam’s club membership since there is no advantage for travel.

Wow....14 locations opening yet this year...including Korea, Japan, Mexico and Spain!
