I'd happily send you one of ours, I only use the membership for rental cars

Shopping at NoVA Costco's is an absolutely miserable experience and I'll pay extra to avoid it.

Honestly, the worst part was trying to go south on a Saturday morning.

Virginia Beach is similar, but not quite as bad.

How about a Rural King for Roanoke?
EDGEMAN • 12/23/25 08:19 AM ET
They almost had one in Salem. **

Salem residents need to fight to get it back!

I've never been in a Costco. I'm not sure I've missed anything.
reestuart • 12/22/25 06:26 PM ET
It's basically the same experience.
EDGEMAN • 12/23/25 09:10 AM ET
My son is itching to take advantage of their hot dog deal.**

Roanoke already has a Sams and Costco. I'm not sure the population
reestuart • 12/22/25 03:52 PM ET

Hokie CPA • 12/22/25 05:13 PM ET

Not a bad idea...could you get them to build off I81, say near Motor Mile?**
HokieHi71 • 12/22/25 05:19 PM ET
I am positive I typed BJs and not Costco. Or I did in my mind.**
reestuart • 12/22/25 05:13 PM ET
I thought it was just me! 😬**
