"This is one of the fastest, most scalable transformations happening in retail today," Chris Nicholas, president and CEO, said in the release. "We're investing with intention — in our fleet, our associates and the member experience — to become the world's best club retailer."
Sam's Club will open 30 locations this year while building a pipeline to open approximately 15 new clubs each year going forward. The retailer also plans to remodel all 600 of its existing clubs featuring a digital expansion.
