Kip Tindell, the company's CEO and founder - his rule is "1=3" one great employee equals 3 only good employees --Kip Tindell, the company's CEO and founder, says this rule allows him to pay his retail employees an average salary of nearly $50,000 a year -- At Costco, hourly workers make an average of more than $20 an hour - according to businessweek -- I would think the powers to be would actively seek a business who would pay a fair pay for the employees

Nitehawk, you are a far better person than I am. I want a Costco because I love shopping at Costco.

Title should be changed from "NEED" to "WANT". There are already plenty of options to shop around, or near, The Villages.

I love their house brand merchandise. I have two Kirkland cashmere sweaters that look and wash better than ones I have bought for twice the price. May not need them here much, though.

Then, tell Costco. If the CEO of the company thinks being here will be a viable and profitable option, I'm sure they'll open a store nearby.

If Costco moved here The Villages might lose some of their minimum wage earners they hire. Oh I forgot we have good paying jobs here.

a Costco in the villages would be akin to a free restaurant for the peddlers along 441.

Costco is not really that inexpensive in fact a consumer could do better shopping sales

Costco is an ideal one stop shop store. Would never think about Sam's if one were here.

Papa: You hit the heart of it.

I think the new locations are going to be hillbourgh fl and Jacksonville .

Maybe for anyone that never needed or wanted a Sam's or a Costco's, we might need more information as to why we would want or need either of these places.

They seem like a Wal-Mart to me.

Can you enlighten us?
