BURLESON, Texas -- (Business Wire)
Sam’s Club will open a newly relocated club at 600 N. Burleson Blvd.
following an 8 a.m. Grand Opening ceremony Thursday, July 10, providing
a preferred member shopping experience to the region. The membership
warehouse club will provide residents and small business owners the
opportunity to access incredible savings on quality products, to
experience innovative technology and to share in the grand opening
excitement with local showcase events.
“We cannot wait to serve the Burleson community at our new location,”
said Club Manager David Perraut. “We’ve taken great care to make sure
our members will find the club full of exciting merchandise at an
amazing value. We also look forward to introducing our new club to our
friends and neighbors that enjoyed shopping at our club at 2440 S.E.
Loop in Fort Worth.”
Grand Opening ceremony features local officials, special events and
offerings
Mayor Ken Shetter, along with Burleson Chamber of Commerce ambassadors,
will participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony. The Burleson Fire
Department will lead the posting of the colors.
The club also looks forward to hosting a special appearance and

To add even more excitement to the celebration the club will be joined
by local favorite, Jim

printed action figure. This showcase delivers the first-ever mobile
personalized merchandise platform for 3D printing that makes fans part
of the story.

Quality products help small businesses and busy families
Sam’s Club is expanding upon its unique, shopper-friendly experience
with this Burleson club. Busy families can rely on fresh
produce, quality
meats and home meal
solutions, while office
supplies, vending machine snacks and paper
goods prepare small business members for success. Other benefits for
small business owners include early shopping hours, personal
shopping through Click
‘n’ Pull, truck-load savings and access to quality items most often
used by foodservice businesses, restaurant
owners and caterers. Click ‘n’ Pull provides an innovative way for
members to save time by using SamsClub.com to select items to be picked
up at the club.
Measuring approximately 136,000 square feet, the new club will feature a
variety of members-only amenities, including a fresh bakery, a tire
and battery center, a café and a fuel station.
A number of health and wellness services are also available. The Sam’s
Club Pharmacy,
open to both members and the public, features many $4 and $10 generic
prescriptions, as well as extraordinary savings on branded
prescriptions. In addition to everyday low prices, the Optical
Center offers $40 off each additional pair of regularly priced
prescription eyeglasses with the purchase of a complete pair of
eyeglasses at regular price. Lastly, at the Hearing
Aid Center, premium technology in hearing aids and personal
listening devices is available from a licensed specialist.
Free health screenings, open to members and the public, will be given
opening day from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m., and July 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to
4 p.m. to assess total cholesterol (risk ratio), HDL (good cholesterol),
glucose, blood pressure, body mass index and vision and hearing
screening/testing.
New club celebrates opening by providing local grants
To staff the new Burleson club, Sam’s Club has provided the opportunity
for associates to remain with the club as it transitions to a new
building. Sam’s Club and parent company Walmart currently employ more
than 154,000 people in the state of Texas and have provided more than
$111 million through cash and in-kind donations from store, clubs and
the Walmart Foundation.
“Our associates are excited to celebrate the new club by giving to
organizations that are near and dear to our hearts,” said Perraut. “I
look forward to many years in the Burleson community and appreciate the
opportunity to work together with its leaders to make this an even
better city for our children.”
In that spirit of giving back, Sam’s Club has selected several local
non-profit organizations to benefit from special grants totaling $10,000
as part of the Grand Opening celebration, including: American Lung
Association, Cariety Foundation, City of Burleson, David Bauman
Foundation, Epilepsy Foundation of Texas, Mundofox Canal 52, National MS
Society, Sam’s Search 4 a Cure and Special Olympics of Texas.
New MasterCard Brings Additional Savings to Burleson Members’ Wallets
Sam’s Club recently introduced a new credit card cash back program that
gives members the opportunity to earn 5 percent cash back on fuel, 3
percent cash back on dining and travel, and 1 percent cash back on all
other purchases, up to $5,000 annually. Available June 23, the Sam’s
Club 5-3-1 cash back program on its new co-branded MasterCard, issued by
GE Capital Retail Bank, is available to qualifying Sam’s Savings, Sam’s
Business and Sam’s Plus members. The cash back value proposition makes
the new Sam’s Club program the most competitive credit reward program in
the club category. Additionally, each credit card has an embedded chip
that makes the card more difficult to duplicate, which provides enhanced
security from fraudulent activity. Sam’s Club is the first mass retailer
to actively implement chip-enabled technology.
