Celebration to include $23,000 in grants,
former Huskers Tommie Frazier and Eric Crouch
Sam’s Club will open its Papillion club at 9851 S. 71st Plaza
following an 8 a.m. Grand Opening ceremony Thursday, September 25.
The membership warehouse club that brought 180 new jobs to the
community will give residents and small business owners the
opportunity to access incredible savings on quality merchandise,
including products made in Nebraska.
“We are excited to bring this brand new club to Papillion,” said
Club Manager Jeremy McDowell. “We are extremely grateful for the
warm welcome we’ve received so far, and we look forward to being a
part of the community for years to come.”
The Sam’s Club team in Papillion selected several local
organizations to receive $23,000 in community giving grants. In the
last fiscal year, Sam’s Club, and parent company Walmart, gave more
than $11 million to non-profits in the state of Nebraska. The
following local organizations will be presented checks prior to
Thursday’s grand opening:
- Papillion Town and Country Humane
Society
- Bellevue Community Foundation
- La Vista Community Foundation
- Baright Public Library
- First Sergeants Organization
- Midlands Community Foundation
- Offutt Air Force Base
- Sarpy County Safety Program
Grand Opening ceremony features local officials, special
events
Mayor David Black and Sarpy County Chamber Representative Karen
Gibler will be among those in attendance at Thursday’s Grand
Opening ceremony. Students from the Papillion La-Vista South NJROTC
Color Guard will present colors and Ardente Voce will perform the
National Anthem at the grand opening.
As part of the grand opening weekend celebration, Sam’s Club
will be hosting unique events, including an extreme pumpkin carver
looking to set a Guinness World Record. Tom Nardone will be
attempting to carve the most pumpkins ever carved in one hour on
Saturday, September 27 at 11 a.m. in the club parking lot.
The club opens just in time for Papillion residents to stock up
on food and gear for their Husker Homecoming game tailgates and
viewing parties.
In that Big Red spirit, the club is bringing in former Husker
athletes for autograph signing events, including:
- Tommie Frazier will be in the club
September 26 from 3 – 5 p.m. A former Husker quarterback, Frazier
is best known for leading the Huskers to back-to-back national
championships in 1994 and 1995.
- Eric Crouch will be in the club
September 27 from 3 – 5 p.m. In 2001, as the quarterback for the
Huskers, Crouch broke school and/or NCAA records almost weekly, and
ultimately won the Heisman Trophy.
Sam’s Club will also be featuring a variety of food samples and
product demonstrations. Special showcase events including JB’s Fat
Boy BBQ rubs and spices out of Lincoln. Members will find
incredible savings on merchandise, like:
- Pork Loin Back Ribs for $2.98/lb
- A 12” Caramel Apple Pie for $7.98
- An HP 15.6” Notebook for $299
A number of health and wellness services will also be available
including:
- Free health screenings will be
offered for both members and the public monthly. Grand opening
screenings will assess cholesterol, blood pressure, vision, hearing
and a variety of other wellness areas, and will run September 25
from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and September 26 and 27 from 10 a.m. to 4
p.m.
- The Sam’s Club Pharmacy, which
is open to the public, features many $4 and $10 generic
prescriptions.
- The Optical Center offers $40

- The Hearing Aid Center features
premium technology in hearing aids and personal listening
