Shopping at warehouse clubs is more popular than ever. Families want quality food at an exceptional value, and often the best way to achieve that is to purchase in bulk. Retailers like Sam’s Club understand this, and they’re making big changes to attract more customers and expand their presence through new stores. If you’re a long-time Sam’s shopper, you’ve likely noticed changes in the last several years. Sam’s Club has expanded its private-label brand, Member’s Mark, and reconfigured many of its stores. You can also purchase fresh sushi hand-rolled in clubs every day. And, of course, the rotisserie chickens will always be piping hot and ready to serve.

The news stores will open in Lebanon, Tennessee; Lathrop, California; Visalia, California; Baytown, Texas; Tomball, Texas; and Weslaco, Texas. Sam’s Club CEO Kath McLay told CNBC that the timing is right to open new stores, as families remain budget-conscious. “During times like inflation, times when people have pressure on their household budget, it’s a time when Sam’s Club can really show up,” she said. “So, I think the time is really right for us.” CNBC reported that the last new Sam’s Club location opened in Hanford, Pennsylvania, in 2017. The retailer shuttered 63 stores the following year. But Sam’s is ready for a comeback. The new locations will be 160,000 square feet. The average Sam’s store employs 150 to 175 people. So, a new Sam’s Club location is good for shoppers and job seekers. Sounds like a win/win for us. This story’s featured image is by Joe Raedle/Getty Images.
