Will have to ask my contact at Racetrac about this. His horsey did win today so he should be very generous talking about stuff

Wish there was a site that compare Sam’s with Costco from a standpoint of products, food & services?

Rumors rumors and more rumors. If I had a dollar for every rumor I have heard in the 22 yrs we have been in The Villages I would have lots and lots of dollars. LOL Rumors are so much fun especially when you hear people repeat them and then add a little something

Sure there is always a plan, but we will see. By the way, I have some land to sell 20 miles south of Key West - great water views. Perfect Spot for a new store. 😉

I have shopped both and prefer Costco. Better Customer Service, Butcher shop, cleanliness of store. We have found it’s worth the trip out of the BUBBLE.

Why the need for a Costco when shopping for two usually. I use mine about once a month for meat and dog food.
