On the way home from choir rehearsal, my wife and I visited the new Sam’s Club in Etobicoke about midway between my work and Sherway Gardens on North Queen. If I didn’t know it was Sam’s Club, I would have said I was in my local (Mississauga/Oakville) Costco. Same layout, pretty well the same mix of products (Though we noted some stuff that would probably be available at Walmart without having to pay a membership fee.) and about the same prices. Hmmm. It was pretty easy choice not to join up: there’s not enough to distinguish the “club” from Costco. Especially since there is also a Costco not far from my work, too. I guess the GTA hasn’t been big box store saturated yet.
