quantities, passing on the savings to our members. Sam’s Club also reduces costs by maintaining a simple shopping environment, often displaying their merchandise on shipping pallets so they can move new items in just as quickly as they move out.

Sam’s Club also provides a variety of member services to extend the value of membership, such as Instant Savings, Cash Rewards, 5-3-1 cashback MasterCard, free monthly health screenings, daily “Tastes & Tips” sampling demonstrations, and members-only savings on travel, prescriptions, and fuel. Sam’s Club offers several convenience services tailored to the needs of small business owners, too, including small business loans and online solutions for critical business operations like payroll and HR, legal, accounting, digital marketing, and health care needs.

Sam’s Club's founder Sam Walton was the most notable business leader of his time—but no matter how much success he achieved, he never forgot where it all started. Once a humble entrepreneur with a successful five-and-dime, Mr. Sam knew firsthand the challenges of running a small business.

Passionate for leadership through service, Mr. Sam wanted to leverage his resources to help other entrepreneurs like himself access the products and services they needed to make their small businesses succeed. That’s why in 1983, he opened the first Sam’s Club in Midwest City, Okla.

Today, Sam’s Club wants to be the most valuable membership club in the world for its members. Sam’s Club has grown to offer solutions not just for entrepreneurs and small businesses, but also for families and everyday living. As the nation’s eighth-largest retailer based on annual net sales, Sam’s Club serves millions of members at SamsClub.com and 650+ locations across the U.S. and Puerto Rico. Sam’s Club also has locations in Brazil, China, and Mexico.
