Not in most major cities, the land is too expensive. Out in the boondocks they are.

While we are waiting, Sam's Club is in Ocala exit #350..go west, it's on the right a block or two. Also, in Gainesville, Archer Rd Exit, head toward Gainesville, turn left on Clark Butler Blvd, it's on the left.

I sure hope they come. We need them to keep Sam's and the super markets honest with actual competition.

My husband talked to the manager in Wesley Chappel months ago of the possibility of them coming near us. He told him then they that are coming to Ocala area and will start construction this December. I already posted this months ago.

Why go there when there is a very large one right here on 27/441?

If that is true, and sure hope it is as would like to see Sams get a run for its money, how come it is not more widely known?

Many travel I75 to Gainesville for VA hospital. Bonus is sams, and TJs and large outdoor shopping with a multitude of restaurants is just right down the street. We go up ever 4 to 6 weeks

I've been here almost 20 years and hear the rumors, this time they really are coming🙃. I believe it when it happens.

Anyone think that the managers of COSTCO's in Wesley Chapel are having fun with Villagers? I do believe that a COSTCO will be near here sometime before 2050

You are so right. If you check their openings for the next 2 years there are NONE in FL.

Could someone tell me what’s so special about Costco? I am member of Sams club and I think it’s fine...

We did that too but since The University of Florida just opened there for the fall with a lot of "young super spreaders" we are skipping Gainsville until they shut down the school. They are all over Sam's & TJ and Whole Foods in Gainsville.

We ask the same thing about all of the club stores. We have been members of all of them at one time or the other and while they are nice for a few months we just did not see the value. Can not figure out what to do with 45 rolls of toilet paper, spices to last a year(but they go bad in 6 months), 4 pounds of coffee creamer and a majority of the time we can beat the prices on sale and digital savings. Just do not see it for 2 retire people.

Be careful what you wish for. That will be the only way you'll have one here.
