Sam's Club, a subsidiary of Walmart, is an American chain of membership-only retail warehouse
clubs founded in 1983 by Sam Walton(Walmart's founder). It is the 8th largest retailer in the United
States and its major competitors include Costco Wholesale and BJ's Wholesale Club. Sam's Club
operates 599 warehouses and operates in 44 U.S. states and Puerto Rico.

Sam's Club is arranged like a warehouse and sells its merchandise in bulk. Their warehouse layout
makes it feel like you’re going on a tresaure hunt rather than actually going shopping for goods. They sell
jewelry, designer goods, sunglasses, crystal and collectibles, electronics, floral, apparel, food, and
meats. Most locations have Pharmacy, Tire and Battery, Photo, Bakery, Optical, Café and Floral
departments.

Their website sells items that are available in the warehouse and also unique items only sold online.
Samsclub.com has shocking values that are limited time deals on electronics, home, food, and other items.

Every month they roll out a new set of Member Savings. All are in store, while some are also available online.

The Business Center sells items like Restaurant Equipment and Supplies, Office Supplies, Office Furniture, and more.

Membership is required to shop at Sam's Club but not at the cafe, optical, or pharmacy area. In the
United States, Sam's Club memberships are divided into two categories: Sam's Club ($45) and Sam's
