Anyone else heard the rumor of Costco coming to Bryan?

What is so great about Costco? I've never been to one. Are they different than Sam's club?
quote:
Heard the same rumor from a lady at work. Have heard that a lot of new stores are planned for the area around the Bryan Target. Of course, it may be like Pappadeux's and new materialize.
quote:They're building one in Humble as we speak.
addictedtocostco.com doesn't show anything in Texas as rumored locations other than Midland/Odessa and Corpus Christi.
quote:I totally disagree. There are over 200,000 people in Brazos County. I know of quite a few people in this area that travel to Houston to go to COSTCO. The quality of merchandise is much higher at COSTCO. Better to pay a little more on something that will last a long time, than get a much lower quality product at Sam's that won't last a year.
The traffic and demographics in this county would not support a Costco.

It's going to be built at the Renaissance Festival as part of the new Disney park that is going in there now that Disney owns the TRF. This way they don't have to worry about the CS City Council not approving it because it (a)has orange or (b) doesn't have maroon in the design.
I heard that a CS City Council member tried to buy up the COSTCO franchise to keep it from happening, but was afraid that it would just land in Bryan, so he backed off.

We may or may not get a Costco, but this community is often underestimated by retailers, IMO.
quote:Can you elaborate?
The next phase of the Target shopping center is starting. It will be more of the same. Saw the plans....I'm getting so tired of the sameness everywhere.
