Latest Sam's Club to open features convenience of Scan & Go mobile app shopping

COLUMBIA, S.C.— Sam’s Club on Thursday opened its newest location here Thursday, July 21, featuring one of the first Sam’s Clubs in the country to offer the convenience of Scan & Go shopping.

The mobile app makes members’ checkout process faster and more convenient by being able to scan UPC codes on items as they load them into their cart. When they are done shopping and ready to check out, they can pay directly on their phone from anywhere in the club and bypass the checkout line.

“We’re excited to finally open our doors and be a part of the growth in northeast Columbia,” stated Club Manager Josh Shearer. “Along with this brand new club, we bring new technology and convenience with our new Scan & Go shopping app and our enhanced Club Pickup ordering service. We can’t wait for our members to try it.”

The Columbia club will also offer Club Pickup, which enables members to order household or business items at SamsClub.com and will be ready for pickup in less than 24 hours.   

The grand opening celebration will focus on the company's commitment to being the club of the community by awarding $25,000 in grants to several local nonprofit organizations.
