Sam’s Club promises to sell the best brands at wholesale prices – I mean, what’s not to love? These member-only retailers are a subsidiary of Walmart and operate through almost 600 warehouses throughout the United States.
Sam’s Club’s unmatched variety and low prices have made it a customer go-to or good-quality, yet reasonable, grocery, home goods, and even fuel.
However, to shop at any retailer, you need to know their open hours, which I will discuss in this article. Read on to find out when Sam’s Club opens and closes through the week and on weekends, along with their schedule during holidays.
Sam’s Club Hours
Please note that the hours I will discuss below for Sam’s Club are usually followed across the US.
However, these are generic hours and may change according to a particular location – but do not fret, as there is a way you can find out exactly when Sam’s Club in your area opens and closes (which we will discuss later in the article).
Monday To Friday
From Monday to Friday, all Sam’s Club members can shop from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. However, there is an extra perk for Plus members, who can enjoy early shopping hours from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. through the week. These early shopping hours allow Plus members to shop for deals earlier than Club members.
The cafe operates from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Saturday and Sunday
Over the weekend, Sam’s Club hours change compared to the week.
On Saturday, the Club operates for an extra hour, and all club members can shop between 9 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. For Plus members, the Club opens its doors at 8 a.m. on Saturday, where they can shop early till 9 a.m. when all members can join in. The cafe hours for Saturday are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. for all members.
On Sunday, all members can shop from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., with no early shopping hours. The same hours apply to the cafe.
Senior and Hero Hours
On Tuesdays, Sam’s Club has a separate shopping slot for seniors and heroes, who can exclusively access the Club from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. This early shopping slot allows the heroes (more on this below) and seniors to shop before regular club members enter the store.
What Are Sam’s Club Hero Hours?
In April 2020, Sam’s Club announced that it would allow first responders and healthcare workers to shop early on Sundays from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. along with its associates. Later, the day and times were revised to Tuesday between 7 a.m and 9 a.m.
Remember that when hero hours were on Sundays, there was no early shopping window for Plus members.
The step was taken after associates at a few club locations allowed first responders of the Covid-19 pandemic to enter the store with them to shop. The Club’s leadership, impressed with the thoughtful gesture, later announced that Club’s nationwide would follow “hero hours” to cater to front-line workers.
