if Costco saw having a retail outlet near TV as a smart move, it would have already happened

but, go ahead and buy online....they'll love the business

Well, you will never get to experience their meat that is better than any in TV. Their fish (same), their selection of wines (better than any in TV), their cheeses, their produce (cannot find any as good in TV). Stay in TV and that just means the Costco I go to will be less crowded.

Sam’s Club

Go to any Costco in Orlando, sit in the parking lot at any hour they are open, watch the overfilled shopping carts, numbers of children, the number of cars in the parking lot throughout the day and then think about them here. We are two person households, we do not purchase anywhere near the amounts that growing families do in cities. Costco has very definite, marketing and merchandising plan based purely on demographics in a surrounding area, They know how many cars that should be in the parking lot at any hour of the day. Unless they go to a smaller store strategy I do not think we will ever see one in TV. Some think that Sams compares but it does not. Costco is the king of big box shopping. Sams is nothing but a copy and an oversized Walmart.
Sam’s Club is Walmart with better meat....

If a COSTCO opens close to the Villages, the local Sam's Club will close, which will certainly be no big loss.

Sams is just fine. A Costco is not needed.

Never had a Costco near where we lived so always member of Sams but on the few occasions with friends going to Costco was impressed . Competition is good.

Brings out the best in businesses.

For the past 6 years, I have called, e mailed, posted on Costco FB page about the needs of this area & it's growth. I have even sent them photos of huge areas for their store, but no luck, just lip service. Somebody else wanna try?

I am a Costco lover visit Wesley Chapel once a month. We have time why are we rushing. Bought 2 cars, tires etc and our monthly trip include meat, fish, toiletries, breakfast stuff, veg, fruit and the course the man needs his beer. It’s a nice comfortable trip down 75. Sams is not for me and I find the employees are not friendly. Costco employees are always ready to help

Rumor has it Cosco is building in Ocala that means coming to The Villages is not likely

Costco is not coming to Ocala. They bought the KMART distribution center and will use it as a distribution center not a store.

If I drive to Costco can I get a 200 package of toilet paper , Sam’s 100 pack just isn’t doing it for me
Actually Costco has a deal going on right now. If you take the 200 toilet paper package you get a discount on the 200 paper towel package. I doubled my order.

We tried that one about a month ago. Very nice Costco. Better than going to Orlando. I have been sending emails to Costco for 16 years, begging them to build one near us. Don’t think it is going to happen.

I’d love to help out, but I’ve been busy sending petitions to Trader Joe’s.

The Costco is in Lutz, FL, not Wesley Chapel.

Costco's sales demographic model is a family of 4, average ticket or receipt total is $400.00 every 2 weeks.

A 2 person senior household is not likely to meet that matrix.
