Edited to add:
 
According to Sam's Club, there were 63 stores nationwide that closed, 3 of which were here in the southeast Texas area...The one here in New Caney (22296 Market Place Dr) and two in Houston (13331 Westheimer Rd & 1615 South Loop West).
 
Read Why The CEO Says They Closed Here!!

Right now there are more questions than answers, but the Sam's Club in New Caney, that just opened a year ago, has officially closed.

There have been multiple news reports from around the country this morning about Sam's Club employees showing up to work and being turned away by management stating that their location had closed without warning. KHOU Story Here!
 
So, we drove by our local club here in Valley Ranch Town Center, and sure enough...
 
There were two managers outside turning people away.

We'll continue to reach out to Sam's for answers on why the sudden closures and report back if anything develops.

Don't panic, Sam's Club employees; there are many,many new businesses opening in our area. So sorry you are going through this right now. Emoticon
 
This newly-opened-then-closed phenomena like with Pollo Tropical and this new Sam's Club is mystifying. Weren't all the company people on the same page? Emoticon

Maybe now they can renovate it into something to do rather then a grocery store.

@NewCaneyDotCom An HEB in the same plaza as Kroger? Very doubtful, but I would take a Target for sure!

Seriously......what kind of company just shuts down dozens of stores and doesn't even notify their employees until they show up to work! That's just all kinds of wrong!!

@Prey521 Yeah, but it would not be much different in distance though, measured in feet. Unless there's typically some kind of agreement in tenant contracts that would prevent it? That's out of my realm of expertise.

@NewCaneyDotCom Correct, it's not really about distance, but about contracts. Kroger was one of the first anchor stores to open in Valley Ranch and anchor stores usually have contracts written in that state that the developer cannot enter into any agreements at that location with a competitor for a certain amount of time, or ever, as long as the store is operating.
