We live in the Villages and used to go to Costco in Altamonte but having to navigate 441 & 436 was s real pain. We found it much easier and faster to drive to the Costco at the Millinium mall at I4 and the turnpike. Pretty easy exit and short drive to it off the first exit and back in when you leave. Further, yes a few miles, faster, much, easier, much. I would recommend it it without a doubt.

With gas prices as they are now, I wouldn't waste my time or gas going to any of those. Walmart Market, and Sam's Club have the best gas prices around, most of the time, and if you check the prices, BOGO, etc around TV, not to mention the farm stands, no reason to travel to the Costcos, IMHO

We always go to Westly Chapel. Main reason is the tolls on the turnpike. Time is similar.

Definitely YOUR opinion! I figure all the $$$$ I have saved not smoking (cigarettes) or eating caviar all my life makes up for the gas cost. Also nice to get away from the bubble once every 5-6 weeks or so and see real civilization.

Here is the list.: OFFICIAL COSTCO COMING SOON LIST

I believe that list you are referencing was on some shopping bargain rumor blog website that someone posted in another Costco rumor thread a while back. Don't remember seeing it on the Costco "coming soon" list which I have checked many times but it is possible I missed it.

Found the site (linked below) and Clermont is still listed but this is the "caveat":

The Costco website page for new locations coming soon is the only official place to get information about new stores opening. However, there are rumors from various trustworthy sources around the Internet about other new Costco locations that are in the works.

Then came the "trustworthy source" RUMOR listing of "possible" stores. This is the website where all the Costco hairdressers hang out giving their secret inside information. I don't believe Clermont was ever listed on the Costco "official" page: New Costco Locations for 2021 - SavingAdvice.com Blog

I have been to.all three. All are about 55 minutes away. I prefer Orlando because itโ€™s basically straight down the turnpike and I can combine my monthly trip with visits to the Apple store/Millenia Mall/Hobby Lobby/Container Store and on and on.

We always go to the Millennial Costco. Google maps says that from our house the three closest Costco's are as follows;

Wesley Chapel- 63 miles, 67 minutes. (no tolls)
Millennial- 41 miles, 47 minutes. (T-pike tolls)
Altamonte- 35 miles, 53 minutes. (I've found this way tedious, although friends tell me they take back roads as this is their favorite)

I'll probably stick with Millennial, but might try Wesley Chapel for something different sometime.
