Andrew Miles, President of Sam's Club China, said, "Sam's Club has always adhered to the member-first business philosophy. Since the opening of our first Sam's Club in Chongqing in 2020, Sam's Club has been very popular among local members, which has strengthened our confidence to further develop in Chongqing and create a quality lifestyle for more members. Sam's Club has nurtured a team of people who know members and products and love to provide good service, and with their international vision and in-depth research on members' needs, they have established a reputable "Sam's Club-style" high-end membership system. Sam's Club is committed to creating a variety of quality lifestyle inspirations for its members, so that all family members – whether they are young parents, children or grandparents – feel that 'shopping at Sam's Club' is always full of surprises."

A global selection of differentiated products that continue to surprise consumers

With 26 years of experience in the Chinese market, Sam's Club understands Chinese members' habits and preferences. Taking advantage of its strong global sourcing resources and current consumer trends in the industry, Sam's Club has developed forward-looking insights making it "half a step ahead of members". Sam's Club selects about 4,000 differentiated products for middle-class families in Tier 1 and Tier 2 cities to add more inspirations to their lifestyle. Its private label Member's Mark provides fresh food that is trusted for its safety, reliability and quality. Sam's Club also directly imports products from more than 30 countries and regions around the world, demonstrating the industry-leading "Sam's Club Quality".

For example, the imported beef of Member's Mark has been highly sought after. Jiulongpo Sam's Club has introduced the U.S. Select Grade Tomahawk Steak with rib bone attached, a high-end steak variety 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.

In addition, in order to meet the members' demand for trendy and novel items, Sam's Club has introduced refreshing products including Disney's Elsa Crystal Magic Wand Gift Box, vegetable snack gift packs made of healthy rice bran oil and non-high-temperature frying, and Lego Ferrari Flagship Edition, which is a 1:8 scale true replica of the new car of the year, to bring members a surprise at every turn of their shopping trip.

Interactive shopping experience that makes it fun for families

The unique interactive shopping experience is an important reason why members love making a personal trip to Sam's Club. Jiulongpo Sam's Club is no exception and has set up several interactive experience areas, aiming to make every shopping trip a joyful one for members with their family.

The iconic "Sam's Home Online" area serves as an example of interactive shopping. Relying on its rich global sourcing resources and in-depth local insights, the merchandising team brings lifestyle inspirations to members with popular global products including high-end musical instruments, outdoor sports and camping equipment, novelty pet products, children's home and other eye-catching products.

In addition to free play and free tasting, the Jiulongpo outlet is equipped with a Sam's Kitchen with top chefs. They share their expertise on cooking beef and seafood, and give advice on wine pairings and side dishes. The Health Center, Hearing Aid Center and Optical Center provide free blood pressure, vision and hearing tests, and members can also purchase high-quality eyeglasses, hearing aids, dietary supplements and other products at competitive prices.
