Personal Experience

This particular Sam’s Club has a special story: two years ago, a tornado destroyed the store, and it seemed it wouldn’t reopen. However, thanks to local community support, the store was approved to reopen as a Sam’s Club once again. Eager to see the new setup, I decided to visit shortly after it reopened. Finding parking was a breeze, with lots of ADA spaces located near the entrance. The wide, accessible doors made entry effortless, and I found the store’s spacious layout perfect for navigating my wheelchair comfortably. Everything was mostly within reach, but since items are sold in bulk, some could be heavy if you don’t have a lot of upper body strength. Fortunately, the helpful staff was readily available to assist, or you can shop with someone for extra support. The checkout process was equally convenient—my parents and I used the Sam’s Club App’s Scan & Go feature, which allows you to scan, pay, and get a QR code to exit without dealing with traditional checkout lines or cashiers. After completing checkout, you simply pass through a set of “doors” that scan your cart, and you’re on your way. With a security guard on-site to ensure everything runs smoothly, it was a straightforward and enjoyable shopping trip.

Final Rating: 5 out of 5

The new Sam’s Club in Grapevine excels in accessibility and ease of shopping, earning a well-deserved 5 out of 5 rating. With plenty of ADA parking, a spacious interior, and the convenient Scan & Go checkout process, this location sets a high standard for accessible shopping. Whether you’re stocking up on essentials or just exploring, this store provides a truly inclusive experience.
