==History==
Sam Walton opened the first Sam's Wholesale Club on April 7, 1983, in Midwest City, Oklahoma, 21 years after he founded Walmart. https://web.archive.org/web/20140202093937/http://www3.samsclub.com/newsroom/Press/515
In 1987, Walmart purchased West Monroe, Louisiana-based SuperSaver Wholesale Warehouse Club. The purchase expanded the Sam's Wholesale Club chain by 24 locations. Prior to the acquisition, the stores were owned by Alton Hardy Howard and his son John. http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/sam-s-club-history/
In 1990, Sam's Wholesale Club was renamed Sam's Club, dropping off "Wholesale". The same year, the first Sam's Club opened in Pennsylvania. https://247wallst.com/retail/2021/02/12/how-sams-club-got-its-name/
In 1993, Walmart acquired PACE Membership Warehouse from K-mart and converted a majority of PACE locations into Sam's Club stores. https://www.nytimes.com/1993/11/03/business/company-news-wal-mart-stores-to-buy-pace-warehouse-clubs.html
On February 26, 2009, Walmart Canada announced that it would be closing all six of its Canadian Sam's Club locations. https://web.archive.org/web/20160115164331/http://micro.newswire.ca/release.cgi?rkey=1702264189&view=73403-0&Start=30&htm=0 This was part of Walmart Canada's decision to shift focus towards supercentres, but some industry observers suggested that the operation was struggling in competition with Costco and the non-membership The Real Canadian Superstore, that had a well-established history in the country. Sam's Club also rebranded the two as yet unopened locations as new Walmart Super centers. https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN26279894/#:~:text=NEW%20YORK%2C%20Feb%2026%20(Reuters,opening%20more%20Wal%2DMart%20supercenters. In January 2010, it was announced that ten clubs would be closing, including four in California. At the same time, Sam's opened six new clubs at various locations in the United States. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-walmart12-2010jan12,0,7246820.story
