Default Costco and Trader Joes

Hello Villagers,
I'll be moving on down to TV next year and was wondering from all of you that are already here in heaven if you know if the developer is planning to attract a Costco and/or a Trader Joes store in the Villages? I'm from Seattle and have already pleaded with Costco, (founded and based in Seattle), to open one near TV. I heard on my last visit that some Villagers had thought that Gary Morse was negotiating for a Costco near Brownwood.
Any thoughts?

Trader Joe's has been contacted several times and stated they had no plans to open a store in Florida because of distribution center issues. Then they opened the Naples store and now have one planned for Sarasota. So, we have hope!!!!

The closest Costco is in Wintersprings (35 miles).
