“We are excited to serve the needs of the Auburn community with a new Sam’s Club,” said Aubrey Morrison, club manager. “We believe existing members in the region, as well as shoppers unfamiliar with warehouse clubs, will enjoy and find value in our selection of fresh foods, brand name electronics and jewelry. In addition, we expect to be better able to serve the growing number of small businesses in Auburn and the surrounding areas by helping them to cut costs and achieve further success.”
