But their petition specifically says to locate it in Turkey Creek or there abouts. I would like a Costco, but will not travel that far to shop there. I still have not shopped at Turkey Creek and even Costco will not get me there.

Still... It would be nice to get something like Costco on the east or north side of town. All we have out here IS Sam's/Wallyworld. And with gas prices the way they are, if retailers want customers coming through their doors they are going to have to build smaller stores closer to neighborhoods so that people don't have to drive to hell'n'gone just to shop with them.
I would suggest that somebody like Costco take a look at the soon-to-be-ex-Wallyworld store in Halls. It's big, it's gonna be empty, and folks already know how to get there.

Though Costco seems better than Wal Mart, the Responsible Shopper lists some legal problems they've had: Link...
I also wish Trader Joe's would come to Knoxville. I try to remember to write to them every couple of months with info that might seem enticing, but I never get any response.
Trader Joes would be great. It would nice to get a chance to pick up a case or two of some "Two Buck Chuck"...if it were not for some bible thumping, religious ass hats (not to mention the legislators that whore themselves out to the liquor distributors) who continue to make it illegal to sell wine in grocery stores.

I have to "import" one of my favorite decafs (Kirkland's Dark Roast) from the Costco in Lagrange, Ohio via my neighbor's sister when she comes for a visit.
It's fortunate that she'll be in town next week 'cause my cupboard is bare.

There are many of us in Fairfield Glade (Crossville) that had a petition signing sent to Costco. Knoxville is a lot closer than Nashville area especially with the gas prices.

We are members of Costco in Huntsville Ala. where my daughter lives. We go there at least twice a month for a visit. The costco Kirkland products are of better quality as are most of the other items handled by costco and there prices are mostly cheaper than Sam's here in Knoxville. When we shop in Huntsville each time we spend at least $200.00 on each visit. I hope you are successful in bringing costco to Knoxville.

Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy.
Any see that Costco? Cradle to grave. Literally.
Big box stores are generally not a good thing (put small mom and pop stores out of business and want taxpayer subsidies) but Costco is much better than WallyWorld.

Costco is better than Sam's club. While in Memphis we visited one and was told that one will be built in Knoxville but they have not broken ground yet. Hope it is soon.

Why a Costco when we have Sam's and Wal*Mart. We don't need no stinky Costco. If we need anything new it would be IKEA.
Some of us don't patronize Sam's/WalMart. Costco is an employee friendly company.

It's Costco corporate policy to expand on the basis of online petitions? I suspect their process is much more deliberate than that.

I'd rather be cycling.
