About Sam’s Club

Sam’s Club is a division of Walmart and is a membership warehouse club, with $64 billion in net revenue in Fiscal year 2021 serving tens of millions of members online and in nearly 600 locations across the US and Puerto Rico. We offer members quality products at exceptional value that is unmatched by traditional retail.

Instead of stocking each item in every available brand, Sam’s Club merchants do their homework for our members, stocking the right products and purchasing them in large quantities, passing on the savings to our members. We also reduce costs by maintaining a simple shopping environment, often displaying our merchandise on shipping pallets so we can move new items in as quickly as they move out. Sam’s Club also provides a variety of member benefits such as Sam’s Club Credit, Instant Savings, free health screenings, sampling demonstrations and members-only savings on fuel. Additionally, we work to make shopping with us as frictionless as possible with digital products like ‘scan and go’ that allows members to skip check-out lines entirely by scanning and paying for items on their phones.
