New Club Continues Tradition of Selection and Services

BENTONVILLE, ARK., February, 2008 – Sam’s Club, a division of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., will open a new facility at 424 George Clauss Boulevard, Severn, MD 21144.

An exclusive tour for the news media is planned at 10:00 a.m., Tuesday, February 19 during which 13 local charities and community organizations will receive grants totaling $15,000. Business Members are invited to attend a breakfast and club preview Wednesday, February 20. Grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremonies begin at 9:45 a.m., Thursday, February 21.

“This is an exciting time in our local history and corporately,” said Judy Leonard, club manager. “We appreciate the support of our existing Members in the area, and we are looking forward to assisting them in our location and continuing to meet their needs for business and home. The Severn Club includes many ground breaking sustainability features we are proud to share with the entire Baltimore area.”

The white TPO roof is energy star rated and includes 191 skylights. The interior lights automatically and continuously dim over the sales floor as the daylight contribution increases. The skylights will help save approximately 200,000 kilowatt hours per year.

The bathrooms have water conserving fixtures. The sinks are sensor-activated, low flow faucets reducing water usage by 84%. The new Sam’ s Club is equipped to recycle tires, auto batteries, cardboard, single-use cameras, plastic waste and silver from photo processing.

Sam’s Club offers a variety of services through its third party providers, including health insurance, merchant credit card processing and travel services as well as other programs.
