Should Ocala get a Costco?

by **saxitoxin** on Tue Jul 06, 2021 1:48 am

Hundreds of angry residents of Ocala, Florida are demanding Costco put a store in their city. Costco has, thus far, only issued a terse reply advising that the public can leave feedback on its services through costco.com. Residents previously, albeit unsuccessfully, issued similar demands to Trader Joe's.

Ocala is a town in North-Central Florida that is the (self-declared) Horse Capital of the World, the birthplace of former Lieutenant Governor "Big Jim" Williams, and the home of the metal band Wage War.

“Costco is amazing. I shopped there up north for years.” says Ocala resident Martha Guzowski.

Since as usual your pole is insufficient. I'll have to wait until llama shows up to rate that band to form an opinion. Seems like they should either keep driving to the existing locations or pull out.

I'm guessing if they convinced enough people to get memberships then all refused to renew Costco might try harder to get them back from Sam's.
