Default Why Does TV Need Costco? Prescription Drugs

Here is a link to an interesting article of why TV needs a Costco. I am sure they would do a nice business as the article explains it all.

Interesting article---thanks for posting. I have heard some good "things" about Costco. Perhaps one will be built in the area one day.

I would love to see a Costco around here!

Their selection is much better than WallyWorld/Sam's ..... Plus it is a privately held, excellently run company that treats it's employees very very well.

I've shopped at Costco, BJ's Wholesale and Sam's Club.

Sam's Club is the absolute worst. They really have no selection, the prices aren't that great and the membership fee is higher than the other stores.

I would love to see Costco near The Villages.

Costco is a publicly held company. Shares are traded on the NASDAQ:

I don't think you'll see a CostCo coming to TV. CostCo's business (outside of prescriptions) is BULK. Retired couples with no children in the house are rarely going to buy in BULK. I am surprised that Sam's Club is here, although I do know that many companies provide discount memberships to employees & former employees, so that may be a reason, and while I may live to be surprised, I don't think you'll see a CostCo here any time soon.

BJ's and Costco have good deals on computers, books, TV's, etc. And why not buy in bulk. The bulk amount is not all that much. And it saves trips to the store. My wife and I have no problem going through the bulk amounts at BJ's.

Just curious---why not golf cart accessible.
