Tempe, Arizona – A new gas station is set to open at the upcoming Sam’s Club location at Tempe Marketplace, with celebratory events scheduled for June 13 and June 14 from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. The grand opening of the Sam’s Club store itself is anticipated for early August 2025, marking a significant addition to the local shopping scene.
The two-day event will feature complimentary breakfast for attendees and exciting giveaways. Notably, 50 lucky Sam’s Club members will have the chance to win free gas through a random drawing that will take place on June 13 between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Furthermore, all members will be eligible to earn additional savings through their memberships, enhancing the value of becoming a part of the retailer’s community.
As part of the festivities, additional giveaways will be available throughout both days, inviting community members to participate and celebrate the opening of this new gas station. The new station will complement the massive 155,000-square-foot Sam’s Club warehouse that is poised to draw in local shoppers.
Sam’s Club at Tempe Marketplace will be the first location in Tempe, elevating the total number of Sam’s Club stores in Arizona to 14. As a membership-only retailer, Sam’s Club provides a diverse range of products including groceries, home décor, furniture, electronics, health and wellness items, and essential household products.
The opening of the store and gas station is part of a broader expansion strategy by Walmart, which aims to renovate existing Sam’s Club locations and introduce new ones across the country. This strategy includes a commitment to remodel all 600 of its current stores to enhance customer experience. One of the new features being introduced is a “register-free shopping experience,” which will be tested in various locations including Grapevine, Texas. This innovative shopping method allows consumers to scan items via a mobile app named Scan & Go, streamlining the checkout process.
In addition to the physical expansions, Sam’s Club has set ambitious goals to double its membership over the next 8 to 10 years by opening approximately 15 new clubs annually. This strategic growth is designed to meet rising consumer demands and enhance shopping convenience for its members.
The addition of the Sam’s Club gas station and store not only reflects Walmart’s ongoing commitment to expanding its presence but also signifies a valuable opportunity for residents of Tempe to access essential goods and services in one consolidated location. The community is encouraged to join in the celebrations on June 13 and 14, partake in the breakfast offerings, and enter the drawing for a chance to win free gas as a way to mark the beginning of this new chapter in their local retail landscape.
