Brand new club part of national pilot to test app-based shop and pay option

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.
