Sam's Club

For the second time in two weeks, many of our associates and communities have felt the impact of a major hurricane. We want those affected to know we stand with you and we're working quickly to help aid in relief and recovery. Walmart, Sam's Club and the Walmart Foundation are committing an additional $6 million to support urgent relief, including grants to Volunteer Florida, the Hispanic Federation, Meals on Wheels, and other local organizations across the state. Overall, more than $23 million has been committed and raised by customers and members in the past two weeks to support communities recovering from both hurricanes. Before the storm made landfall, we positioned over 300 refrigerated trucks and 500 truckloads of essential supplies in key locations. We’ve assisted more than 5,000 Walmart and Sam’s Club associates with evacuations, and we'll continue to look for ways to support them through this time. As millions face the heartbreak of losing homes and power, we’re working with nonprofits and suppliers to set up mobile units in store parking lots and provide much-needed resources, including free meals, WiFi hotspots, charging stations and laundry and shower services. To support the thousands of Floridians who evacuated, we’re also working closely with shelters to provide essential supplies. We're in this together, and we’ll keep showing up for associates in the days ahead. Here’s how to stay connected and get the latest updates: https://walmrt.us/4h0W0eb

We’re excited about re-opening our Grapevine club next week and bringing Sam’s Club back to the community. As we continue to test new initiatives, Grapevine will be an innovation center where we can blend online and offline experiences, which allows us to provide an enhanced shopping experience for our members. It’s going to be pretty special, just take a look at some of the highlights that are featured. We can’t wait to share this with the community and apply what we learn to current and future clubs. We’ll see you soon Grapevine! #TeamSamsClub https://lnkd.in/e7JyNyGe

The storm may be over, but we know there will be a long recovery ahead. We’re going to continue to be there for our communities in many different ways, and our associates continue to be at the center of it all – neighbor helping neighbor. Supporting one another and our communities is who we are, and it’s what makes us a family. #Helene #TeamSamsClub https://lnkd.in/gWR3AwVi

We’re moving quickly to make sure all our associates and members affected by Hurricane Helene are safe and supported. Together with Walmart and the Walmart Foundation, Sam's Club is committing up to $6 million for relief efforts. This includes essential supplies, food, water and grants to aid organizations.   As part of this commitment, we will match donations 1:1, up to $2.5 million at checkout in clubs across the US starting next week. We’re working directly with communities to provide crucial resources for those without power, including free meals, WiFi hotspots, charging stations, water and more.   https://lnkd.in/g25SYn39

The Blue Coat Award isn't just a prestigious title at Sam's Club; it's a symbol of who we are. Since it started in 1986, the Blue Coat Award has spotlighted associates who think and work differently, drive positive change, and achieve outstanding results. This is our highest honor, presented to those who demonstrate what it means to truly live our values, making Sam’s Club a better place to work and shop.   Consider the impactful and unique stories of recent winners: Shane Haynie mentorship and "people first" mindset, Yajaira Castro championing of digital adoption and crisis relief, Colin Chapman's relentless pursuit of removing obstacles for associates, Megan Crozier drive for record-breaking sales growth, and Vanessa Smith unwavering commitment to improving associate experiences—all showcase how excellence in various forms contributes to the greater good of our associates, members, and communities we serve.   By celebrating these extraordinary leaders, and those who came before them, we’re reminded that greatness isn’t just about accolades — it’s about making a lasting impact and continually lifting our culture.  https://lnkd.in/eXJfPHRS   #TeamSamsClub #OurPeopleMakeTheDifference

There’s something special happening at Sam’s Club – there’s an undeniable vibe. Our associates are making a difference in so many different ways, and they keep making memorable experiences for our members. After a week together in Northwest Arkansas, our Club Managers are equipped to join together with their teams to win the holidays. But it’s not going to stop there, we’re continuing our momentum to achieve even greater results together with incredible items and amazing people. #TeamSamsClub #WintheHolidays

Sam's Club is ready for the holiday with incredible items and amazing people. We were proud to celebrate both this week at the Sam’s Club Holiday Meeting. Congratulations to Vanessa Smith, who earned the Blue Coat Award, the highest individual honor at Sam’s Club. Vanessa is a key member of our member-obsessed culture, and we’re grateful for her hard work on behalf of all our associates. Our merchants keep developing new and exciting items. Our plans for food and décor for Thanksgiving and Christmas really put me in the mood today. If you’re not part of the Member’s Mark community, I recommend you check it out. Way to go, everyone!

At Sam's Club, we believe delivering a delightful experience for our members starts with investing in our frontline associates. We’ve been on a multi-year journey to make Sam’s Club a good place to work by investing in everything from wages and benefits to tools and technology. Today, I’m proud to share that we’ve made a pair of investments that reimagine our workforce compensation, providing longer-term financial predictability for nearly 100,000 hourly associates across our company, helping them build fulfilling, meaningful careers.

Investing in our associates is the best way to create unparalleled shopping experiences and be the best place to work. Our new compensation plan will help us pave the way for associates to build meaningful careers and lives with Sam’s Club. #TeamSamsClub   Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/g62UKXzJ
