Sam's is more upscale than Wal-Mart, but in my experience it is very much the "Wal-Mart of warehouse stores" in that it feels less nice than Costco in the same area. I'm sure it varies, that's just based on the ones I've been to.
- handrous 5y agoYeah, maybe it varies, but the local Sam's has gone way downhill over the last couple decades (I don't think income-demographics have changed much in the area over the same time-span, which makes that really odd) along with the three nearest Wal-Marts. Sam's is now firmly in the same relation to CostCo as Wal-Mart is to Target: basically the same thing, except everything about it is anywhere from a little to a lot worse (except, sometimes, the prices)
- washadjeffmad 5y agoIt is literally the Walmart of warehouse stores. Sam Walton is the originator of both Sam's Club and Wal(ton)mart. Sam's competes more with stores like BJ's and Brandsmart than Costco, which is really in a league of its own.
- loonster 5y agoThe parking lot at the costco near me is insane. Everytime I went there, I felt like I was going to get hit. Sure enough, an oldy was killed in the parking log shortly after I stopped going.
