Just do not see it for 2 retire people.

If it does not work for you than dont go there.

The fruits and vegetables are excellent and we can buy in quantities that we go thru before spoiling.

Lots of other things we freeze and use as we need to so overall we save a lot of money with very little waste.

We have no choice have to be there no matter. Since we do senior hours first thing out and gone before any UF is up and running

We don't have the demographics they are looking for. Large families!

I think a Costco in Ocala would make sense. It would draw customers from Gainesville, Ocala, as well as The Villages. The broader the market area, better for all.

Perhaps but the population around here is growing rapidly so more hungry people to cater to.

Viewable from I-75 makes sense.
