Sam’s Club awards nearly $25,000 in grants to
local organizations
The newest Sam’s Club in Pennsylvania will open its doors
Thursday, Sept. 14, at 261 Wilson Ave. in Hanover. The public is
invited to join the celebration, which kicks off with a grand
opening ceremony at 8 a.m.
New club features
Located in the Gateway Hanover Shopping Center, the Hanover club
will be one of the first locations in the northeast to offer the
fresh new look and feel of Sam’s Club. New features include a fresh
island that offers organic and grass-fed beef, an expanded seafood
section, and fresh sushi made daily. The focus on fresh carries
throughout the dairy and produce departments with large walk-in
coolers designed to keep products as fresh as possible. An
additional feature members will experience is the café with
self-order kiosks, expanded seating with charging stations and an
updated menu that includes premium coffee, made-to-order
sandwiches, and smoothies. Members can also continue to count on
Sam’s Club for their health and wellness needs. The new club will
provide pharmacy services as well as a hearing center and optical
department.
Shopping made simple
Members of the Hanover club can utilize the company’s
award-winning smartphone app called Scan & Go, which allows
users the option of scanning their items while they shop and simply
paying on their phone. The Hanover club will also offer the
drive-thru convenience of Club Pickup - a service for members who
prefer to place an online order and pick their merchandise up at a
scheduled time.
Commitment to community
As part of the grand opening festivities, Sam’s Club will be
awarding nearly $25,000 in grants to several local nonprofit
organizations. The Hanover club associates have already put in over
300 hours of volunteer work prior to the grand opening and are
excited to continue to serve their community not just inside the
club, but outside it as well.
“We are so excited to be able to help local organizations that
support our community,” said Hanover Club Manager Justin Herr. “I
am so proud of the great team we have in place that is passionate
about giving back and serving our members.”
Sam’s Club locations across the Northeast region have also come
together to raise $400,000 for the Special Olympics, over $100,000
of that total came from the state of Pennsylvania. The check will
be presented to the Special Olympics at the Hanover grand opening
ceremony on Thursday, Sept. 14.
Sam’s Club is also proud to support small business owners
through the company’s Road Show program. This consignment-based
program provides local, regional, and national entrepreneurs the
chance to set up shop inside Sam’s Club while providing members
access to exciting and one-of-a-kind products. Hanover’s grand
opening will feature several local products including Kunzler Meats
quality hot dogs and bacon and Hanover Foods fresh canned
vegetables. Members will also enjoy samples of Snyder’s of Hanover
pretzels, UTZ potato chips and Chef Shamy Gourmet Butters.
Entrepreneurs interested in participating in future Road Shows
should contact their local Sam’s Club manager for more details.
Grand opening ceremony to feature local officials, special

among those attending Thursday’s grand opening ceremony. Gettysburg
High School ROTC will present the colors and the Hanover High
School chorus will perform the national anthem. Other groups
