Sam’s Club abruptly closed 63 stores on Jan. 11, 2018, in a move that happened the same day parent company Walmart announced raises and bonuses for its employees. Word from corporate headquarters was Sam’s Club stores had been “overbuilt,” with an overlap between some locations. Some of the doomed Sam’s Club stores shut down immediately, while others will remain open for a few more weeks. Ten of the stores set to close will be converted into e-commerce distribution centers. Most of those locations have not yet been disclosed.

The bad news for Sam’s Club came at the same time as good news came for Walmart employees. The big box retailer announced it was raising wages for employees from $9 to $11 per hour. It will also expand maternity and paternity leave benefits and is offering employees a one-time cash bonus of up to $1,000.

Is Sam’s Club becoming yet another victim of Amazon? Or was it too similar to Walmart, which doesn’t require a paid membership? To help you determine the fate of your local Sam’s Club, here are all the Sam’s Club stores that are closing throughout the country.
