Sam’s Club to Remodel All 600 Stores and Open 15 New Locations Per Year: Here’s What Shoppers Can Expect
In a bold move set to redefine the warehouse retail experience, Sam’s Club has announced its plan to remodel all 600 existing locations and open approximately 15 new stores annually, beginning this fiscal year. This strategic expansion and modernization aims to double membership and boost sales significantly over the next decade.
🚀 A Major Expansion Strategy
During Walmart Inc.'s 2025 Investment Community Meeting on April 9, Sam’s Club CEO Chris Nicholas revealed the company’s ambitious vision to transform the shopping experience. The initiative is centered on enhancing both physical and digital infrastructure to create a seamless and efficient environment for members.
“We’re investing with intention — in our fleet, our associates, and the member experience — to become the world’s best club retailer,” said Nicholas.
📍 New Sam’s Club Locations Coming Soon
Sam’s Club will open two new clubs in Tempe, Arizona, and Lebanon, Tennessee, marking the first-ever locations in these cities. These stores are part of a larger roadmap that includes:
- 30 new clubs in total, as previously announced in 2023.
- 15 new Sam’s Club stores per year, with a pipeline to support continued growth nationwide.

🛠️ What’s New in the Remodeled Sam’s Club Stores?
Sam’s Club isn’t just opening more stores — it's revolutionizing the in-store experience. The remodeling plan takes inspiration from the recently reopened location in Grapevine, Texas, which was renovated after tornado damage.
Here are the highlights of the new store design:
✅ Register-Free Checkout: Featuring Scan & Go technology and high-top help desks staffed with member specialists, stores are shifting toward a cashier-less model.
📦 Online Exclusives On-Site: Customers can browse and shop items previously only available online, directly from the store.

🚚 Ship-to-Home Capabilities: Shoppers can scan and ship items directly to their doorstep via the Sam’s Club app.
📱 Enhanced Digital Integration: The new layout makes it easier for members to use Sam’s Club’s digital tools, including the mobile app and in-store kiosks.
The result? A streamlined, tech-powered shopping experience that meets the needs of today’s convenience-driven consumer.
💡 Why This Matters for Shoppers
Whether you’re already a Sam’s Club member or considering joining, the upcoming changes offer significant perks:
- More locations near you
- Faster, more convenient checkout
- Exclusive access to online deals
