Sam's Upgrades Tech, Offers App

Bentonville, AR — Sam’s Club will upgrade all of its U.S. locations with Wi-Fi by November to allow consumers greater use of mobile smartphone technology in-store.

Hundreds of product reviews will now be available to shoppers, the company reports, allowing them to research potential purchases as they move through the store.

Further, the company says it is launching an app for iPhone, Blackberry and Android platforms by September. The app will have features including access to eValues, which are extra discounts loaded directly onto the club’s Plus Membership cards, plus product information and member reviews.
