Stepping into the new Sam's Club Now, shoppers will notice lockers to safely charge their phones, a machine that dispenses free samples, and screens demonstrating the best way to make chocolate ganache.

There’s a station with fresh sushi and another display with grab-and-go meals. There’s a variety of produce, baked goods, meats and other grocery items for easy pickup.

But customers won't find the same giant jugs of cooking oil or four-packs of peanut butter they might be used to seeing at other Sam's Clubs.

Though the new store offers some bulk groceries, its new location in Dallas’ Lower Greenville neighborhood focuses more heavily on tech-savvy and innovative shopping experiences.

Sam’s Club Now is “the epicenter of innovation” for the retailer, the company said in October. At just 32,000 square feet ­– the average Sam’s encompasses 100,000 to 150,000 square feet – its merchandise mix includes between 1,000 and 2,000 products, compared to the roughly 6,000 products usually stocked in Sam’s Clubs.
