Attention all Sam's Club members! Get ready for a significant change that will impact your Sunday shopping experience. Sam's Club is extending its Sunday hours, and here's why it matters.
Starting this weekend, Sam's Club is listening to its members and making a bold move to accommodate their needs. Steven Zapata, the director of corporate communications, confirmed that the membership-based warehouse club is expanding its Sunday hours, effective October 12th. This decision comes as a response to the overwhelming feedback received from its loyal members.
Previously, Sam's Club warehouses operated from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays. However, the new schedule will simplify things, with most clubs adopting an 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily schedule, including Sundays. But here's where it gets interesting: there are a few exceptions to this rule, and we'll get into those shortly.
For the Plus members, who hold the highest tier membership, the early bird advantage continues. They will still enjoy exclusive early access to stores from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. daily. It's a perk that keeps them coming back for more!
In addition to the Sunday hour changes, Sam's Club is also making adjustments to its holiday hours. Traditionally, warehouses closed at 6 p.m. local time on Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, and New Year's Eve. But now, they will remain open until 8 p.m. local time on these holidays, providing members with more time to shop and celebrate.
However, there are a few holidays where clubs will close earlier or remain closed entirely. Clubs will close at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve, and they will be completely closed on Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas Day, and New Year's Day. So, plan your holiday shopping accordingly!
Now, let's dive into the specifics of the new Sunday hours. Here's a breakdown provided by Sam's Club for most of its locations:
- Curbside Pickup: 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Plus Member Shopping: 8 a.m. to 9 a.m.
- Club Shopping: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Cafe: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
- Fuel: 6 a.m. to 10 p.m.
