New club part of national pilot to allow
members to bypass checkout line
Sam’s Club will open its new club in Milwaukee Thursday, Aug. 4.
The club will feature more savings, services and innovative ways to
shop for local families, business owners and students. Doors open
at 8050 North 124th Street in Milwaukee following an 8:00 a.m.
grand re-opening ceremony. This brand new club will replace the one
on Calumet Road, which opened its doors in 1991.
“We’re excited to show the community our new club and all that
it has to offer,” said Club Manager Dan Jenkins. “Our new club will
have a lot more of those local products that our community loves
and to top it off we’re excited to announce that we will be one of
the first clubs in the country to offer the convenience of Scan
& Go shopping.”
Scan & Go is an innovative mobile app designed to make
members’ checkout process faster by being able to scan UPC codes as
they load items into their carts. 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 Milwaukee club will also offer a convenient drive-thru
service called Club Pickup. This allows members to order items
online ahead of time and have them ready for pick up the next day
at no additional cost. Club Pickup also features a mobile check in
option which notifies the club when members are on their way to
pick up the order.
Grand opening ceremony to feature local officials, special
events
State Senator Lena C. Taylor and members of the Milwaukee Area
Chamber of Commerce will be among those attending Thursday’s grand
opening ceremony.
Former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Antonio Freeman will
greet fans at the club between 2-4 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 4, 2016.
Sam’s Club will also showcase a variety of food samples and product
demonstrations throughout the re-grand opening weekend.
Commitment to community
The grand opening celebration will focus on the company’s
commitment to being the club of the community by awarding $16,000
in grants to several local nonprofit organizations. Last year,
Sam’s Club and Walmart stores in Wisconsin provided more than $28
million 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.
In addition to the Sam’s Club giving program, the company also
supports the area by sourcing products from local and regional
businesses. Sam’s Club is proud to carry several regional products,
including Malcore Foods cheese curds and beef sticks, Klement’s
summer sausage and Cherryland’s Best Door County dried cherries.
Through the company’s Road Show program, Mike’s Popcorn and
BergHOFF’s EuroCAST professional cookware will be featured during
grand opening weekend. Members will also be able to enjoy various
food samples during the celebration.
