Sam’s opens for July 4, gives Walmart a shot at members as Costco stays closed
BENTONVILLE, Arkansas, July 4, 2026, 09:04 CDT Walmart Inc’s Sam’s Club is staying open on July 4, but Costco Wholesale Corp will be closed. That means Walmart gets a shot at one day’s extra traffic and a chance to pitch cheap memberships. The story for investors is if Sam’s Club can turn Costco shoppers into new members while the rival is shut.
