We have been to both but prefer Wesley Chapel, easy drive and usually less crowded.

I think Wesley Chapel. Straight shot down I75, right off freeway, no tolls.takes 5 to 10 min longer perhaps.

Wesley chapel is the easiest, no lights straight down 75. Altamonte Springs takes forever

FYI.... Sam’s club website is offering membership for FREE. pay $45 online and get a $45 credit when you pick up your membership card. The offer is good through April.

Westley chapel. Also has an outlet mall across street plus additional shopping and restaurants.

Since we are new to TV, how far is Claremont from Sumter Landing. Looking forward to a closer Costco. Sam’s is so busy. Hate going there.

Just so you know we have arranged to build one in Claremont.

Will be quite the drive, since Claremont is a city in California...😉

Hmmm luckily we have access to the western worm hole to speed up the trip.

WesleyChapel is off the 75 so no toll roads. There is also a mall there so you can do other shopping at the same time.

We just went don’t forget the $5 rotisserie chicken and the $1.50 hotdog or $2 slice of pizza for lunch.

Sams has an app to scan and go. No check out lines to stand in. After scanning your purchases as you put them in the basket and total purchases then you get a scan bar code and head out the door. Person manning door just scans your phone

We've made the trips to all the Costco stores in the area. Wesley Chapel, several in Orlando, one near Tallahassee, and several in Tampa.

Why? Just like we saw out in Oregon where I had access to 6 Costco stores within a 30 minute drive, each had reasons to check-out.

Until you visit them, you won't have a preference or decision on being easy to get to.

That said, we like two - Wesley Chapel and Altamonte Springs.

It would be great to confirm online what is available at each location. There is one trick I learned about the Costco Business Center which is south of Orlando - by setting your zip code to that area, the online store will show you what can be delivered to your business. This Costco serves restaurants and other businesses that need food service quantities. Lots of supplies and food items a restaurant or food service might need.

Enjoy the hunt!

To skip the lines at Sam's club use the Sam's app. Scan'n'go section. Scan barcodes in your basket and head for the door.

When it is working it is great.....for us it does not work (for one reason or another ) 50% of the time.
