Is the honeymoon really over just a month in? People do seem to be coming for the cheap gas, but man...the place is a ghost town otherwise.

I stopped on a weekday and thought it was kind of empty. Hope not!

Hope the weekend brings the crowds.

I like BJs because it is closer to me than Sams or Costco.

All three have pluses and minuses.

It was perfect to me. First time I went to a store like that and was able to walk straight up and pay without waiting in line. Costco I would be waiting a while

I agree.

Sam's - Terrible location/traffic

Costco - Far away

BJ's - Limited selection and who thought the Dunkin' Donuts was a good idea

Yeah, I was heading west on 26 the other day.....I had to do a double-take. The parking lot was empty mid-afternoon.

Last time we were in there, I found it lacking. We'll let the year's membership play out (the discount gas would cover the $45 fee). We'll probably re-enlist in Sam's Club. It's much closer than Costco, we make an afternoon of it....Lunch at Jim & Nick's or Big Billy's Burger and then on to Sam's.

I'm interested in seeing what Lowe's Foods "brings to the Table" And how they plan to get in and out of that parking lot.

Being an 87,000 SF warehouse you have to pay to shop at...right next door to a 225,000 SF Wal-Mart that you don't have to pay to shop at is not helping them.

Wouldn't dare buy meat from Wal-Mart if you seen some of the stuff they do to it...

I don't think they're going to last long once Sams gets built right down the road from it.

But I hope it does, cause that building would be empty forever and that looks trashy.
