- Sam's West, Inc. operates as Sam's Club (U.S.) and is a 100% Walmart Inc. subsidiary; standalone legal-entity revenue is not published. - The Sam's Club U.S. segment net sales in Walmart filings is used as the best proxy. - Walmart Inc. Form 10-K (FY2025, period ended Jan 31, 2025) reports Sam's Club U.S. net sales = $90,238 million. - A top-down segment projection using recent multi-year growth (FY2023→FY2025 CAGR ≈3.7%; FY2025 YoY growth ≈4.7%) was applied to estimate FY2026. - A conservative growth band of 3%–6% was used to reflect likely variability, resulting in a midpoint estimate of $94.3 billion (USD).
- Official filing (Walmart Form 10-K, 2024-01-31): Reports group headcount ~2,100,000 worldwide and Sam's Club unit count 599 stores at period end; does not disclose a separate Sam's West, Inc. payroll. - LinkedIn company snapshot (2026-03): Reported headcount 48,379 members with U.S. distribution 26,214 - treated as a conservative floor and directional scale for store-level staffing. - Estimation/proxy (2026): 599 stores × assumed ~90 employees/store = 53,910; + ~4,000 estimated corporate and distribution-center employees = 57,910 → rounded to 58,000 to represent direct payroll headcount. - Company press release / website (Sam's Club press, 2026-01-12) and site footer (©2025) confirm active operations; no public disclosure of material layoffs or restructurings specifically reducing Sam's Club headcount since the 2024 10-K. - Uncertainties / caveats (2024–2026): No entity-level payroll figure in official filings; LinkedIn likely undercounts and excludes contractors/seasonal staff; per-store staffing is an assumption (typical warehouse-club range 80–120); estimate excludes third-party contractors and seasonal hires, hence Medium confidence.
- The target entity is Sam's Club. - The primary operational location for Sam's Club is identified as Bentonville, Arkansas, United States. - This is corroborated by the company's LinkedIn profile. - The address is explicitly stated as the main/corporate office and operating hub for Sam's Club. - The parent entity's location (Walmart, Inc.) is also in Bentonville but the specific Sam's Club operational address is prioritized.
