We've only been the the one in Wesley Chapel but it's a straight easy drive.

We like Wesley Chapel, traffic is minimal, unless it’s first of April

I like Costco near the Mall at Millenia, Florida Turnpike to I4 (east or north)first exit. Plenty of other shopping and restaurants.

Another vote for Millenial Mall. Turnpike to rt 4 and you;re there. I dont recommend going there on weekends. Check out BJ's Brewhouse nearby for lunch. Also the Total Wine there has a better bourbon selection than the one on 441

Depends upon where you live in TV. We live in the Spanish Springs area and fastest Costco is near the Millenial Mall in Orlando. If you live near Turnpike Wesley Chapel is probably closer and faster.

Hopefully Clermont store will open soon. Hate going to Sams. Went there 2:00 PM on a Friday and lines were terrible.

Wesley Chapel not very crowded for a Costco. Easy drive with good lunch spots nearby.

We used to go to Altamonte and Wesley Chapel, but discovered the Costco at Millennia Mall (Orlando). It’s quick and easy. It’s now our “go to”. Less than 1 hour drive and near tons of other shopping if you need other things.

We have been to all 3 and Wesley Chapel is much easier then either Altamonte or Orlando. Drive is easy, exit is easy, traffic is less, construction is less, and the store is never very busy. For us it’s less then 1 hour door to door. I leave here at 9:00 and am there, fill with their gas and park just about as they open. Home by 11:00. Go about once a month, usually on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Where I lived in Northern Virginia it was 10 miles away and sometimes took an hour to get there.

Default Costco Millennial Mall

This one is better if you also want to go to Trader Joe's on your shopping trip. There is no close by Trader Joe's in Weasley Chapel.
