Per Sumter Commissioners, Costco is going to be built next to Hobby Lobby. Can it really be true?

Yes it is true. Verified by Goldwingnut. Also a perfect central location for all of TV. A super Walmart nearby. Next to Marshalls and across the street from Fresh Market. Red Lobster and Olive Garden a stone's throw away. All your needs in one location.

It's obviously not an establishment meant for you...

Good thing we have choices, no?

Will there be any retraction of comments made by many on TOTV that swore Costco was never gonna come to TV?

I can tell you for me, being new and very very part time in the Villages, I was shocked by meat prices in Publix. $6/lb for commodity lousy chicken breast, and same for cheap pork cuts. So I drove to Costco in Clermont to take a look and the prices are similar to up here in Massachusetts.

Plus as a guy that does a lot of BBQ, having whole prime briskets for under $5/lb is awesome. Other than meat I have not fascination with the place.

Where did he verify it? On his most recent call in show? Thanks

That will never work here. Do wonder if BJ will be leaving.

He verified it on his Facebook page and there is another thread on here somewhere. Not sure where it went but I'll link if I find it.

Found it, on the same page with today's posts. Probably don't need 2 threads but I think "water management plans" made the other thread title a bit confusing.

I wonder too- is there room for all three (Costco, Sam’s and BJ’S)? I know in other cities I’ve lived, Costco has always been the clear “winner” and most popular of these type of stores.

You are correct! We have choices

Never said "never". What I said was, "I'll believe it when I see it". Still holds true.

A sitting county commissioner is way more in the loop than the typical Villager. Don would not have verified a rumor.

If your favorite store offered to only charge you average 10% markup on everything for $60/year wouldn't you take it? That is Costco's value proposition in a nutshell.

The membership pays for itself in one visit or one online order for many people.
