smart and healthy food
choices for members
Whether they’re millennials or boomers,
Sam’s Club members are seeking healthier
food options – and we deliver. Last year,
we more than doubled our organic portfolio.
And, “healthy for you” items such as breakfast
bars, squeezable fruit pouches and protein
drinks are resonating with members as well.
Creating a more rewarding
member experience
In fiscal 2015, Sam’s Club’s commitment to creating the most valued
membership organization in the U.S. contributed to growth in net sales,
operating income and enhanced member engagement. Overall net
sales increased 1.5 percent to $58 billion, while comp sales, excluding
fuel, were up 0.6 percent. Membership income grew 10.3 percent, driving
operating income growth, without fuel, of 2 percent to $1.9 billion.
The most valuable card in a member’s wallet
Delivering exceptional value is what a Sam’s Club membership is all
about, and we’re finding more ways to strengthen our member
engagement. We expect that our increased hourly wages and additional
investments in training, announced in February, will provide greater career
opportunities for our club associates and allow us to continue delivering
award-winning service to members. In addition, Plus members appreciate
the benefits of our Cash Rewards program. Response has been strong,
