Club offers convenience, savings to area
families and businesses
Sam’s Club will open its first location in New Caney Thursday,
Jan. 26, offering more savings, services and innovative shopping
technology to local families and business owners. Located at 22296
Market Place Drive, the club will officially open following an 8
a.m. grand opening ceremony.
No membership is required to attend the celebration. Non-members
can experience the club with a one day pass available at the new
club’s Membership desk.
“Being a member of Sam’s Club means more than a membership card
in a wallet,” said Sam’s Club Manager Taylor Jones. “It means
belonging to a community of members who have exclusive access to
great products, brands and services. We look forward to not only
providing our members with amazing values but innovative shopping
options like Scan & Go and Club Pickup.”
No need to wait in line
Shopping at Sam’s Club has never been more convenient. Members
of the New Caney club can utilize the company’s new shopping app,
Scan & Go. 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.
More ways to shop
The New Caney club will also offer the drive-thru convenience of
Club Pickup - a concierge service for members who prefer to place
an online order and pick them up at a scheduled time. Sam’s Club
associates serve as personal shopping assistants for this service-
handpicking the items to fulfill the order. When members arrive at
the club, they can check in on their mobile device or use the
drive-thru kiosk to trigger the direct-to-vehicle delivery.
New club features
The Walmart-owned membership warehouse in New Caney will include
the following features:
- Full service sushi bar and expanded
seafood selection
- Fresh Island offering organic and
grass-fed beef and other premium meats
- Two spacious walk-in coolers designed
to keep dairy and produce as fresh as possible
- Upgraded café with digital ordering
station for those who want to self-order and pay upon entering the
line
- Health and Wellness Center with a
pharmacy, hearing and optical center
Commitment to community
As part of the grand opening festivities, Sam’s Club will be
awarding $25,000 in grants to several local nonprofit
organizations. The company empowers club managers and associates to
identify and support community efforts in and around the
neighborhoods they serve.
“Giving back to the communities we serve is an important part of
our culture at Sam’s Club,” Jones added. “One of the best things
about this program is our associates were part of the grant
selection process, helping us identify the organizations they felt
passionate about supporting.”
Grand opening ceremony to feature local officials, special
events
Members of the Greater East Montgomery County Chamber of
Commerce will be among those attending Thursday’s grand opening
ceremony. The New Caney High School ROTC will present the colors
and associate Tyler Tranthan will sing the national anthem.
To add to the excitement, Pro Football Hall of Famer Warren Moon
will be signing autographs for fans on grand opening day, Thursday,
Jan. 26 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Sam’s Club will also showcase a
variety of food samples and product demonstrations grand opening
weekend including Chef Shamy Gourmet Butters, Kountry Boys Sausage,
and Berghoff Eurocast Cookware.
