Sam’s Club to add 15 stores per year in plan to double sales

Grocery Dive reported the development on 2025-04-11. The Walmart-owned club retailer also intends to remodel all of its locations as it looks to reach more customers over the next decade.

The report places the news in a wider commercial context. Sam’s Club plans to open 15 new locations per year “for the foreseeable future” and intends to remodel all of its approximately 600 existing locations, the Walmart-owned club retailer’s top executive said during an investment community meeting on Wednesday.

For the food sector, the practical implications extend beyond the immediate announcement. Sam’s Club “has been on a journey to transform our business model, to deliver a retail experience that is free of friction and frustration, one that elevates the member’s life by anticipating what they need and giving them more than they expected. And this starts with investing in our physical footprint,” Nicholas said.

Attention now turns to how companies, customers and regulators respond. Nicholas, as well as Todd Sears, CFO of Sam’s Club, said during the event that the chain believes its efforts to remodel its locations, add new stores and build its online presence will fuel its growth during the coming decade.
