Default COSTCO coming to the area! Really!

Was at Westley Chapel store today and mentioned to an employee I wish there was one closer to The Villages. (Its less than an hour from Southern Oaks and no tolls) I was told corporate was telling them they are looking for land between Ocala and The Villages but closer to us.

When we were at COSTCO about a month ago we were talking to a Customer Service employee who said the same thing. She didn't know exactly where it was going, but was told that a new COSTCO would be going in closer to The Villages.

And trader Joe's is going to be put in right next to Costco. Apparently they have heard that the Villages is on a high density rental apartment complex kick so now is the time to build the stores?????

FINALLY! A new Costco thread! So tired of mask and gun threads. God bless the knowledgeable employees of Costco !!!!



The fine print: I hope they are right for the 50th replay of this story.
