We have a Bonefish grill restraunt and it's doing good. I think anything that does come to Columbus will do good alway's has.So I think a Costco will do fine in Columbus.Because we have the population to support one.
Not only do we have the population (and income) to support it now, think of how much Columbus will grow in the future.. I hope Costco remembers that... Here's to them signing a lease this year lol

It's possible. But what are you basing that claim off of? Targeted demographic, income,population, interstate connection, traffic counts, etc? There is more to it than having a growing population and income.

What does an interstate have too do with Columbus having a Costco. We have a Samsclub and it's doing perfectly fine. We have the perfect population to support a Costco and the right income. Your one of these outsiders who just want to argure with people.and if im not mistaken your the one i got into a feud with in one of the other Columbus forums. There's know reason for us to have any claims too back it up we know our city can support a Costco and that's the bottom line. The market in Columbus is strong.

News flash, stores actually look at interstae connection and everything else I stated above. Not just population and med o an income. Columbus could have 500,000 people it's metro area, but if it does not have the correct demographic and age group in the area, they would not come, regardless of how much you think Columbus can support one. The statement you made about not having to back up your facts because you live in Columbus and know that it can support one shows that you are just stating an opinion and have no facts to back up your statement, when you are trying to make a factual claim. If Columbus can perfectly support a Costco, there would have been one annunced within 3 years. The fact of the matter is that if Columbus doesn't have the group of residents they are targetting, high traffic counts, and in general what they are looking for, then it can't support one, no mattet how much of a perfect fit people in Columbus think it is. If you were to provide facts such as what I asked about in an earlier post, then I would have said that Columbus could support one. But since you didn't, I will only say that it's a possibly.

Who cares what you think. Your so hard headed your brain is like concrete nothing sinks in. There no needs to argure the fact's with you like I said before. And you talk about how stores look at interstate connection this makes no sense. What does an interstate have to do with a Costco store locating to an area.Because Columbus has plenty of good stores without an interstate connection and such and they have done fine. And you saying that Columbus don't have the Correct demographic and age group in the area to support that's a lie.You know dude you said really dum when you try to argure the facts with us.Your wasting your time man go some place else.

I'll take that back we do have an interstate but's it's just a piece of one. But it's still an interstate.

Before you start calling people dumb, you should learn how to spell it. Anyways, I'm not arguing the facts with you, as you have not stated any yet. When you show me Costco's location criteria and how that Columbus matches that is the only way that I will say that Columbus can support one. If you say it's a perfect fit, show me why with evidence. Your opinion will not make Costco come after all. If you can't, then you are fighting a losing battle. You can't try to argue your opinion with me when I am asking for facts to back up what you said, but yet you are not providing. Simple, show me evidence and I will believe what you are saying. If you say that Columbus has the correct median income, show me what Costco's targeted income is. If you say it has the right amount of people, show me Costco's requirements. Etc. Until then, your opinion is just that. I'm not giving my opinion, I am asking for facts. Reading in fundamental.

I have no criteria to prove as of yet because it has not been announced yet but it will soon. I have heard rumors that Costco has been scouting our area. But who knows it's 2015 it's a new year Columbus has a lot of new things lined up for us this year.

Well according to this thread, they have been scouting the area since 2012, so I wouldn't believe rumors unless it was from a reliable source. I didn't say that it wasn't possible, I just wanted to know if you knew their criteria since you said that it was a perfect fit.
