Default BJ’s or Costco ?

Does anyone know if there are intentions to build a “ big box “ store next to Lowe’s on 466A or anywhere in the vicinity of The Villages.
I am a snow bird and the Sam’s club up north is 20 miles from my home but Costco and BJ’s are near me. I’m up for renewal and I’m deciding which way to go.
Thanks for any info you might have.

Easiest Costco is 45-60 minutes South on I-75 in Wesley Chapel. It's by the outlet mall and the least crowded Costco I've ever been to. We go about once a month.

That sight on 301 should be very appealing to my friends at Costo.

We've traveled 30 miles +/- down to Clermont to the BJ's there on RT 27 for the past four years.....we've always preferred BJ's over Costco.

We'll be very happy when the BJ's that's being build closer to TV opens

Well, right now Sam's Club is essentially free - just search for the discount. I think this special ends very soon though..

Sam's Club Offer

Pay 45 for a year and get a 45 sams club gift card.

I have a Bj's card through the American Legion as well. There are lots of ways to get these cards for basically nothing

On another thread someone was talking about Warm Springs and 301 but suspect you know about that "sight"

We would settle for TJ, they have a worldwide exclusive for our favorite wine.

I should have elaborated. My home post up north supplies cars to some of its because we purchase good from them and we have a tax exempt cert on file.

I've gotten personal cards from VetRewards and TroopID in the past though.
