I just landed here from a city that first had a Sams and then years later got a Costco. There were those of us who preferred the Costco. They seemed to have slightly upgraded products but with very similar prices on the products that were similar.

While I enjoy Sams I would love to see a Costco, but as others on here have mentioned the location shown on the map makes me wonder.

Default Spam Costco

Nice try Career Builder...OR should I say the Spammer that tried to use this as their venue.... the employees are hired by the general food vendors who in turn go through another agency... I know a person who works at Costco in Orlando and they actually buy their samples of food from Costco itself... they are for a fact not employees of COSTCO!

They most likely would not put it on Parr Drive. If one ever did show up most likely off of 44 by Brownwood area. But I am not sure that would even be the right place, need population around it,,,

I have never been to a Costco, but have always been happy with Sam's anyway.

Just went to the Costco site for future locations and nothing in Florida is planned.

Depends what you're looking for, but generally yes. Sam's tends to have greater selections in some areas, such as prepared meals. I had memberships at both and found myself going to Costco weekly, and Sam's monthly or bi-monthly. Costco usually had better brands in electronics and jewelry, better quality in produce and meats. Just my opinion.

Costco is a well run, progressive company which pays its employees a living wage with full benefits. Sam's Club is owned by the owner's of Wal-Mart. Costco ever coming to The Villages is doubtful.

One of the publix managers told me that walmart will build a store on 466a somewhere between buena vista and powell rd. You would not be able to get there on your golf cart, developer would see to that because not his land. A developer from wildwood and adeveloper from gainsville own all that farm land.

if and when the demographic and statistical criteria are met then Costco will put a store where it best suits that criteria.

All else is wishful thinking, which we all do or have for one thing or another.
