NEARBY, DES PLAINES, CRYSTAL LAKE, VERNON HILLS STORES SURVIVE; WHEELING STORE CLOSING

Walmart is closing 63 Sam’s Club stores across the US, according to numerous media sources. Several stores already abruptly closed Thursday, January 11, 2018. The Sam’s Club closures come on the same day that Walmart announced it was raising starting hourly wages to $11, expanding employee benefits, and offering workers bonuses of up to $1,000.


Sam’s Club is owned and operated by Walmart, founded in 1983 and named after Walmart founder Sam Walton. Walmart was founded in 1969.

Sam’s Club’s major competitors are Costco and BJ’s Wholesale Club.

At some stores, employees were not notified of the closures prior to arriving at work on Thursday. Employees felt disrespected when they learned their store would be closing when they arrived to find their store’s doors locked, and a paper closure notice on the door.

State with Most Closures: Illinois
501 N Randall Rd, Batavia, IL 60510
21430 S Cicero Ave, Matteson, IL 60443
6600 44th Ave, Moline, IL 61265
808 S Illinois Rte 59, Naperville, IL 60540
900 S Barrington Rd, Streamwood, IL 60107
1055 McHenry Rd, Wheeling, IL 60090
460 S Weber Rd, Romeoville, IL 60446

These stores are already removed from Sam’s Club store locator map.

Ten of the closing stores nationwide will be converted into ecommerce distribution centers, and employees of those stores will have the opportunity to re-apply for positions at those locations, according to a Walmart. The remaining closing stores will stay open for several weeks before closing permanently.

Sam’s Club posted a notice about the closures on Twitter on Thursday January 11, 2018lll, reporting, “After a thorough review of our existing portfolio, we’ve decided to close a series of clubs and better align our locations with our strategy. Closing clubs is never easy and we’re committed to working with impacted members and associates through this transition.”
