For me, in Del Mar, it is 51 miles to Costco in Altamonte Springs. Not much improvement to go to Clermont.

I love when people argue over things like distance, that's one hour by car the most places and I know plenty of people live in Wisconsin or Iowa who have to drive that every week to get to a supermarket

Not arguing, but the topic of the thread is about the distance to Costco.

Argue this is one of the most peaceful discussions ever on here.

you do know that there is a Sonic right in Leesburg on 441?

We just went to a Costco with our son in N.J. Please tell me what the hell is the big deal? Am I missing something?

Don’t make a remark about N.J. being something to do with it not being so great.

As far as I can see it’s NOTHING more than a personal preference to choose Costco. What a joke. Drive an hour each way to save next to nuttin. Crazy.

I only have a membership for the hearing aids. We drive to the one in Lutz. Straight shot down I75. 45 minutes from Fenney.

No fresh fish at Costco. Actually nothing fresh there but the hotdogs on the way out.

Buy local. Save gas, time and support Americans.

"COSTCO really will be close"

For Villagers north of 466, not so much. Shortest route from my house would be 35 miles and there is quite a bit of The Villages north of me.

Guess it's still Sam's club, at least its local.

Ha!

We may not have the time it'll take to wait.

I heard through a community update that Costco has been invited by Ocala several times to build and they have turned them down sighting too much competition which included Sam’s. Hearing that really surprised me.

Melly 08-20-2021 08:09 AM

Maybe old news but some new people here have not read it.

Chi-Town 08-20-2021 08:15 AM

Ocala would be better as it is more of a regular destination than Clermont. Going to a Clermont Costco would be just a trip there and back.
