Sam’s Club will open its newly relocated Niagara Falls club at 1580 Military Road following an 8 a.m. Grand Opening ceremony Thursday, November 13. The membership warehouse club has been serving the Niagara Falls community for nearly 21 years and has relocated to provide residents and small business owners additional services and savings on even more quality merchandise.

“We’re excited and ready to show off our brand new club which symbolizes our continued commitment to the community,” said Club Manager Todd Rockey. “We’re not only making an investment in this new club, we are also giving back to several community organizations.”

Associates at the new club chose several local nonprofits to receive $23,000 in Sam’s Club Community Giving grants, including one $15,000 gift to the YMCA. In the last fiscal year, Sam’s Club and parent company Walmart, gave more than $22 million to community organizations in the state of New York.

Grand Opening weekend brings grants, special appearances and events

Mayor Paul Dyster will be in attendance for Thursday’s grand opening celebration. He will be joined by the Niagara Falls High School Choir.

The club will host multiple special appearances and autograph signing opportunities throughout the weekend, including visits from:

  • Thurman Thomas, former Buffalo Bills running back, Thursday at noon
  • Sammy Watkins, current Buffalo Bills wide receiver, Saturday from 1 – 3 p.m.

Sam’s Club will also be featuring a variety of food samples and product demonstrations. Special showcase events include Chef Shamy Gourmet Butters, Euro Clean Edition Steam Mop, and luxury scarves by Wrapsody in Hues.

The new and improved Sam’s Club in Niagara Falls will also feature a number of health and wellness services including:

  • Free health screenings will be offered for both members and the public monthly. Grand opening screenings will assess cholesterol, blood pressure, vision, hearing and a variety of other wellness areas, and will run November 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., and November 14 and 15 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
  • The Sam’s Club Pharmacy, which is open to the public, features many $4 and $10 generic prescriptions.
