Introduction

A new Walmart-owned Sam's Club warehouse store is coming next year to Visalia, California if company executives have their way.

The new store will be joined in the city by Chick-fil-A, which is under parallel development.

Firstly, for perspective per ScrapeHero.com’s current store count: There are 600 Sams Club stores in the United States as of August 22, 2024. The state and territory with the most number of Sams Club locations in the US is Texas, with 82 stores, which is about 14% of all Sams Club stores in the US.

Let us explore.

Sam’s Club and Chick-fil-A, 2024

According to a recent report from ABC30.com, Sam's Club would join Chick-fil-A in a major California shopping center.

As excerpted from the report: A request for a conditional use permit will be heard at a September 23 Planning Commission meeting. If approved, both businesses would go into the Visalia Commons Shopping Center at South Mooney Boulevard and West Visalia Parkway.

Per the report, excitement is building among locals for the two proposed entities whose approvals are largely thought to be a matter of formality at this stage.

Conclusion

This is a developing story. In the event of further updates to this matter, inclusive of official company confirmations of specific opening dates for both companies if approved, I will share them here on NewsBreak.
