Andrew Miles, President of Sam's Club China, said, "As Sam's Club develops quickly, we see more members looking for more convenient ways to experience a high-quality, inspired lifestyle. The new Baoshan Sam's Club represents the continued exploration and efforts by Sam's Club to meet the needs of its members.

At the same time, the opening of the Baoshan club is a useful exploration into the efficiency of Sam's Club. We seek to keep innovating in e-commerce, replenishment, operations and supply chain management to continuously improve efficiency, as well as leverage our successful experience to enhance the overall efficiency of Sam's Club and continuously create value for our members."

Since entering the Chinese market in 1996, Sam's Club has witnessed the growth of China's consumer environment, spending power and demand for quality, and has always adhered to the member-first philosophy. Sam's Club provides globally selected products, exciting shopping experiences and great membership value to the middle-class families in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities who highly value quality.

Differentiation that makes shopping a treasure hunt

As a global high-end membership club with 26 years of experience in the Chinese market, Sam's Club has rich global sourcing resources and in-depth local insights that have enabled it to be "half a step ahead of its members". These forward-looking insights bring differentiated products that inspire and improve the lives of members' families.

Like other Sam's Clubs, the Baoshan club offers members approximately 3,000 items through its physical store and online platform, including Member's Mark, a private label exclusive to members, as well as fresh products trusted for their safety, reliability and quality. In addition, it offers directly imported items from more than 30 countries and regions around the world, with each item carefully selected by the merchant team. It is also worth mentioning that nearly 100 new Sam's Club items have been unveiled in the Baoshan outlet, adding more surprises to the Sam's Club "treasure hunt" style shopping experience. For example, Member's Mark U.S. Select Grade Tomahawk Steak with rib bone attached is a high-end steak rarely found in regular supermarket channels because of the required cutting skills and transportation conditions. Sam's Club delivers the steak through temperature-controlled transportation to stores with its self-built international cold chain system, and introduces remarkable price advantages with its strong bargaining power. Other new items also enable members to recognize the quality and pricing advantages of Sam's differentiated products, and the value of Sam's Club membership. These items include the global limited edition of Talisker 43-year-old whiskey, rarely produced Shangri-La matsutake king mushrooms,  Burberry wool shawl and shoulder bag with great value, the flagship edition of LEGO Ferrari, global limited edition of Ferragamo luxury series eyewear, a 138-inch 4K TV from Ledman, and an intelligent mobility wheelchair from iF-Health.

Take the iconic "Sam's Home Online" as an example, it not only showcases camping and outdoor sports equipment and high-end musical instruments, but also focuses on mother and baby products, introducing well-known brands of mother and baby products with great value. These products include daily essentials including car seats, strollers, and cribs, as well as fun toys such as basketball stands, bouncing chairs, and trampolines to provide more scientific and convenient childcare solutions to new moms. Members can experience some of the Sam's Home Online products in-store, purchase them through Sam's App, and  have the products delivered to their homes. Sam's Kitchen, Health Center and Optical Center will also continue to provide members with cooking tips and health solutions. In addition, Baoshan Sam's Club will introduce a variety of popular global products and lifestyle ideas with presentations and events, such as an exhibit of paper furniture with both design and practical use, an event with "Super Wings" cartoon characters, as well as a gaming experience area. This will make shopping at Baoshan Sam’s Club an exciting and enjoyable shopping experience for family members of different ages.
