Old news, been posted here several times, but they still haven't broken ground. Hopefully the next thread will have an opening date, if it's even built.

A friend of ours is in Mgmt with Costco and confirmed the Clermont location. I think he said 2023 early was expected date. He is from the area and monitoring closely to apply for position as it progresses.

A Costco in Ocala will come some day. Watch and see.

This is not the Costco location we were hoping for. Kind of far away.

44 miles from Lake Sumter Landing.

Still too far for fresh fish etc. we use a cooler but it’s not good enough. I guess Costco is not really interested in The Villager’s shopping. On the other hand, the crowds and congestion associated with every Costco store is also far away.

Actually it is 43 miles from the Arnold Palmer CC to the future Costco in Clermont.

That is why we will stick with Sams and might give BJ a try

Google maps tells me that from the intersection of 466 and Morse to Clermont is 35 miles and 48 minutes. I’d be happy to have a Costco in The Villages instead of a new BJ’s, but as it is, Sam’s Club is only ten minutes away, and I won’t be driving to Clermont.

Yes, but it looks like the Costco site is on Rt 50, near Magnolia Point, about 7 miles east of the "Clermont" Google map location, so the distance would be about 42 miles. But, if you use the turnpike route, the Costco site would be 46 miles from Rt 466 and Morse Blvd.
