Sam’s Club will open its newest club in Austin this Thursday, April 16.
The doors will officially open following an 8 a.m. grand opening
ceremony at the club located at 10901 Lakeline Mall Drive.
The grand opening celebration will focus on the company’s commitment to
the local community. Sam’s Club associates selected several Austin-area

fiscal year, Sam’s Club, and parent company Walmart, gave more than $111
million to non-profits in the state of Texas. The following local
organizations will be presented checks during a special VIP night prior
to the public grand opening on Wednesday, April 15 from 4 to 5:00 p.m.

“Sam’s Club is committed to the communities we serve and that means
supporting organizations that are important to our associates and
members,” said Club Manager Maurice May. “The great thing about our
grant giving program is our local associates are involved in the
selection process.”

The Cedar Park Chamber of Commerce and representatives from Meals on
Wheels of Burnet and Williamson Counties will be among those in
