I wonder if there are any of the old addresses of the Pace Membership Warehouses, in particular, of the one I described. It could well be that the Rio took property, but an address would reveal that.

I still have it (2020) and it works/looks fine---very comfortable. Remembering the Pace, it seemed disorganized and hard to shop. I also lived next to Oklahoma City when the very first Sam's Club opened in Midwest City around 1984. I believe that was a converted K-Mart (there were no K-Marts in the city anymore--it was a TG&Y city)...That first Sam's had no air conditioning, dark dingy but packed.

On the 2nd visit, there were a bunch of guys literally walking out with merchandise that they had stolen...they were laughing about getting away with it. I was shocked at how much it had changed.
