The numbers are all over the place.

We’ll have to wait few days to get the straight scoop on that.

One article earlier said 70 something.

Now it’s reported to be over 200 stores.

Either may be true, but they can’t both be.

Maybe you’ll find a list later today.

Costco is owning this niche.

We were supposed to get a Costco here in Destin a couple of years ago. There was ballyhoo all on the TV news and local papers, but it never happened. I don’t know why......................

The problem with Sam’s Club is their bakery is horrible. Just blech. Where as, Costco is pretty good.

Costco is owning this niche.

There was a time we had memberships to both Sam's and Costco. It is easy to see why Sam's is scaling back. In my personal opinion Costco executes on a far higher level than Sam's -- night and day.

Similarly, it's somewhat amazing how Walmart remains a juggernaut. For such a large chain, and after all these decades of operation, their supply chain STILL is substandard. I cannot believe how many times I have gone into a Walmart to look for a national product they routinely stock only to find they are completely out... and for weeks at a time! National brands, not some obscure off-brand item.

So, it's not hard at all to understand how Costco is cleaning their clock. Not a fan of Costco's liberal leadership, but either you can run a store efficiently, or you run your stores in a slipshod supply manner.

Four in AZ:
Scottsdale
Casa Grande
Chandler
Prescott

“company strategy” is their claim. 150 employees at the one close to me: attempts will be made to integrte them into the local (3) Walmart locations”
