Sam's Club Brings Scan & Go Shopping Innovation to Longmont
Sam's Club will open its first location in Longmont Thursday, June 30,
offering more savings, services and shopping convenience to local
families and business owners. Doors open at 1200 South Hover in Longmont
following an 8:00 a.m. grand opening ceremony.
"We're excited to open our doors and show our commitment to this
community through the local products we carry and organizations we
support," said Club Manager Brad Arndt. "We are also looking forward to
our members discovering the convenience of our new Scan & Go shopping
app and our enhanced Club Pickup ordering service."
New club innovations
The Longmont club will be one of the first Sam's Clubs in the country to
offer the convenience of Scan & Go shopping. The mobile app makes
members' checkout process faster and more convenient by being able to
scan UPC codes on items as they load them into their cart. When they are
done shopping and ready to check out, they can pay directly on their
phone from anywhere in the club and bypass the checkout line.
The Longmont club will also offer Club Pickup, which enables members to
order household or business items at SamsClub.com
and will be ready for pickup in less than 24 hours.
Commitment to community
The grand opening celebration will focus on the company's commitment to
being the club of the community by awarding nearly $35,000 in grants to
several local nonprofit organizations, including $25,000 to the Longmont
Humane Society.
In addition to the Sam's Club Giving grant program, the company also
supports the area by sourcing products from local and regional
businesses. Sam's Club is proud to carry almost a dozen items made in
Colorado, including products from Honey Baked Fish Company, Boyer's
Coffee, Boulder Canyon Natural Foods, and Rice's Lucky Clover Honey.
Through the company's Road Show program, several other regional
businesses, like Ecocabins, EcoVessel and Alida's Fruits, will be
featured during grand opening weekend.

Broncos, will be signing autographs for fans at the new club Friday,

food samples and product demonstrations throughout grand opening weekend.
