New Sam’s Club Stores Opening in 2026 and Planned for 2027

If you’ve been hoping for a Sam’s Club closer to home, a new location might be opening near you. The warehouse chain is expanding, giving you more places to stock up on bulk groceries, Member’s Mark favorites and household essentials.

New Sam’s clubs have already opened in California and Tennessee, and more locations are planned in Texas.

Based on Sam’s Club’s website, government filings and local news reporting, here’s where new stores are opening, which ones you can already shop at and what we know about upcoming opening dates.

Updated October 22, 2026. Opening dates can change. Construction completion dates listed in government filings are estimates and should not be treated as confirmed grand opening dates.

Sam’s Club Is Expanding

Sam’s Club’s expansion is part of a multiyear growth plan. In April 2025, the company shared plans for 30 new locations and said it was building a pipeline to open approximately 15 new clubs annually over its planning horizon.

The company also announced plans to remodel its 600 existing clubs. The 30 location announcement covers multiple years, rather than 30 openings in a single year.
