WUXI, China – Sam's Club today announced the grand opening of the second club in Wuxi and the 64th in China. As the first new Sam's Club location in 2026, this opening also represents the 11th Sam's Club in Jiangsu Province since the brand entered the provincial market in 2013. The new club underscores Sam's Club's determination to deepen its footprint in the Yangtze River Delta, while continuing to grow its presence in China and serve members with high-quality, high-value shopping choices.

As a pioneer of the paid membership model in China, Sam's Club leverages its global sourcing capabilities and local service expertise to inject fresh momentum into the development of Wuxi and the wider Yangtze River Delta. Wuxi, a key player in the delta's economic landscape, boasts a dynamic economy and strong consumption potential. The new club responds directly to local market vitality and the trend of consumption upgrades, while supporting Wuxi's ambition to become a leading consumption hub and elevating the region's commercial competitiveness.

Sam's Club has established deep partnerships with multiple high-quality local suppliers in Wuxi, co-developing products across fresh food, home furnishings, appliances, and apparel. By connecting its rigorous quality standards with local manufacturing excellence, Sam's Club helps bring premium "Made in the Yangtze Delta" products to member households nationwide, opening up broader market opportunities.

Differentiated Merchandise – Global Curation Meets Local Insights

Through a powerful global procurement network and deep insights of local market, Sam's Club offers about 4,000 differentiated products. For the opening, the club has prepared many highly anticipated new items, including several nationwide launches, designed to meet the quality-of-life aspirations of families across generations.

Members can discover delightful surprises such as Mario Kart toys, cuddly panda plush toys, SpongeBob SquarePants cushions, and a "Drum of Power" gold ornament inspired by the Wuxi opera drum. These "treasure hunt" finds are a key reason members love spending time in Sam's Club.

Beyond curation, Sam's Club excels at creation. The private brand Member's Mark introduces several innovative new products at the Wuxi Huishan store. The Member's Mark Sourdough Demi-Baguette, launching at this club, answers members' dual desire for authenticity and health. Using traditional sourdough techniques and Polish leaven with low-temperature slow fermentation, then baked in a stone hearth, it delivers a crispy crust and tender interior with low sugar and low fat. Another first-to-market item, the Member's Mark Red Bean Thai Milk Tea Dorayaki, pairs classic red bean filling with creative Thai-style milk tea flavor, using high-quality red beans, imported cream, and ChaTraMue Thai black tea.

Sam's Club extends its "quality and value" promise to every aspect of daily life. Take the newly launched 20-momme high-elastic mulberry silk underwear, made from top-grade 6A mulberry silk and 20-momme silk elastic crepe satin for both elasticity and comfort. As summer approaches, the club offers a range of sun protection and cooling apparel. Sam's Club raised the performance bar: UPF values measure above 100 (the national standard threshold is 50+), and the instant cooling coefficient exceeds 0.2 (national standard: 0.15). These aren't just numbers – through close collaboration with leading suppliers on materials and producing processes, Sam's Club has achieved an optimal balance of protection, lightweight comfort, and durability, solving the common complaints of stuffiness and sweatiness in sun-protective clothing.

Other first-time offerings at Wuxi Huishan include custom-formulated Coca-Cola with monk fruit, low-sugar rose-flavored latte coffee drink, Honeymoon Dessert longan and mung bean sweet soup, and Napoleon grilled beef skewers. Meanwhile, Sam's Club Global Shopping introduces new items such as Shiseido sunscreen, BISHOH bilberry eye care drink, and Konstan 2019 white wine.

For opening promotions, Wuxi members can enjoy special prices on a range of products, including L'Oréal multi-repair ampoule masks, Swisse Calcium + Vitamin D, Meatyway crispy chicken rolls, and Panasonic heat pump tumble dryers.

Omnichannel Experience – In-Club Fun + Online Convenience

The new Sam's Club is located at 108 Jinhui Road, Huishan District, Wuxi. True to the brand's signature interactive shopping experience, the club offers a spacious layout, abundant sampling opportunities, the "Sam's Kitchen" cooking demonstration area, and professional services like Optical Center and Hearing Aid Center with free testing – creating a fun and welcoming environment for the whole family.

To meet members' shopping needs anytime and anywhere, Sam's Club has built an omnichannel service system including one-hour delivery, scheduled delivery, and nationwide delivery. The one-hour delivery covers over 1,000 frequently purchased items for daily convenience. Nationwide delivery, free on orders over RMB 299, makes it easy to share the Sam's Club experience with friends and family far away.

Rooted in the Community – Empowering and Giving Back

In 2020, Walmart committed to integrating sustainability into business operations across climate action, natural resource protection, waste management, and people development.

Sam's Club actively promotes green energy. The Wuxi Huishan store features a CO₂ transcritical refrigeration system that produces nearly zero carbon emissions and captures waste heat for reuse – after compressing the refrigerant, the generated heat is recovered through a water circulation system to support store operations and staff water needs.

On the community supporting, the "Surplus Food Donation" program reduces food waste throughout the retail chain and donates surplus food to benefit communities, the environment, and operational efficiency – building a low-carbon, caring, and sustainable community. The "Big Dream Achiever" program focuses on helping young people with intellectual disabilities develop independent living and employment skills. To date, the program has provided over 500 in-store internship opportunities, enhancing their ability to integrate into the community.

As a responsible corporate citizen, Walmart China continues to pursue its purpose and business strategy in a regenerative way, operating with the highest integrity and ethical standards. The company remains committed to creating economic opportunity for members, associates, suppliers, and communities, strengthening communities, and promoting environmental sustainability to make life better for everyone.
