New club supports local economy with jobs and
$10,000 given in grants
Sam’s Club associates and managers will join with local
residents and officials to open the company’s newly relocated club
at 257 Grandview Blvd. in Madison this Thursday, August 6 following
a 10 a.m. grand opening ceremony.
”We are so excited to begin operation at our beautiful new
facility,” said Club Manager David Speer. “Our new location is
11,000 square feet larger than previous, contains an expanded
produce area and a newly-designed Health and Wellness Center,
featuring a Sam’s Club Hearing Aid Center. Our members are going to
love it.”
New club gives $10,000 to local nonprofits
The grand opening celebration will focus on the company’s
commitment to being a club of the community. Sam’s Club associates
selected several local nonprofit organizations to receive $10,000
in community giving grants. Grant award winners include:
- Liberty Park
- National Coalition of 100 Black Women,
Central MS
- Special Olympics Madison
- Mississippi SIDS Alliance & Infant

“Giving back is a part of the Sam’s Club tradition and our
associates are excited to be able to help such worthy
organizations,” said Speer. “It’s another reason to be proud to
work at Sam’s Club.”
Last year, Sam’s Club and Walmart stores in Mississippi provided
$14.9 million dollars in cash and in-kind donations to nonprofit
organizations in the state. These donations represent community
grants, food donations and associate volunteer efforts from stores,
clubs and the Walmart Foundation.
Grand opening ceremony features local officials, special
events
Madison Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler and members of Madison the
City Chamber of Commerce will be among those in attendance at
Thursday’s grand opening ceremony. The Madison Police Department
will post the colors and Sam’s Club associate Tikesha Simmons will
perform the national anthem.
Sam’s Club will also showcase a variety of food samples and
product demonstrations. Special events include Vitamix Blenders,
Chef Shamy Gourmet Butters, Logo Tailgate Event, and Polk’s Meat to
name a few.
