Sam’s Club will open its first location in Longmont Thursday,
June 30, offering more savings, services and shopping convenience
to local families and business owners. Doors open at 1200 South
Hover in Longmont following an 8:00 a.m. grand opening
ceremony.
“We’re excited to open our doors and show our commitment to this
community through the local products we carry and organizations we
support,” said Club Manager Brad Arndt. “We are also looking
forward to our members discovering the convenience of our new Scan
& Go shopping app and our enhanced Club Pickup ordering
service.”
New club innovations
The Longmont club will be one of the first Sam’s Clubs in the
country to offer the convenience of Scan & Go shopping. The
mobile app makes members’ checkout process faster and more
convenient by being able to scan UPC codes on items as they load
them into their cart. When they are done shopping and ready to
check out, they can pay directly on their phone from anywhere in
the club and bypass the checkout line.
The Longmont club will also offer Club Pickup, which enables
members to order household or business items at SamsClub.com and
will be ready for pickup in less than 24 hours.
Commitment to community
The grand opening celebration will focus on the company’s
commitment to being the club of the community by awarding nearly
$35,000 in grants to several local nonprofit organizations,
including $25,000 to the Longmont Humane Society.
In addition to the Sam’s Club Giving grant program, the company
also supports the area by sourcing products from local and regional
businesses. Sam’s Club is proud to carry almost a dozen items made
in Colorado, including products from Honey Baked Fish Company,
Boyer’s Coffee, Boulder Canyon Natural Foods, and Rice’s Lucky
Clover Honey. Through the company’s Road Show program, several
other regional businesses, like Ecocabins, EcoVessel and Alida’s
Fruits, will be featured during grand opening weekend.
Grand opening ceremony to feature local officials, special
events
Longmont Mayor Dennis Coombs and members of the Longmont Area
Chamber of Commerce will be among those attending Thursday’s grand
opening ceremony. The national anthem will be performed by the
Longmont Chorale.
To add to the excitement, Chris Harris Jr., cornerback for the
Denver Broncos, will be signing autographs for fans at the new club
Friday, July 1 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. Sam’s Club will also showcase
a variety of food samples and product demonstrations throughout
grand opening weekend.
