Sam's Club is expanding its supply chain capacity across the Midwest. The warehouse club retailer, a division of Walmart Inc., plans to open two new distribution centers in early 2024 outside St. Louis and Minneapolis. The new facilities are part of a multi-year growth plan to transform the Sam's Club supply chain. The retailer intends the new distribution centers to provide customers with a better shopping experience through noticeable increases in speed and availability of products, both in-store and online. The first facility will open in the greater St. Louis area (Edwardsville, Ill.), in January 2024. The 370,000 square-foot facility will serve as a distribution center and fulfillment center, creating more than 100 jobs across the region. Hourly associate hiring for the center will begin in early December 2023. The second facility will be located in Shakopee, Minn., and will serve as a multipurpose distribution center.
