Sam's Club Hours: Today’s Open & Close Times, Sunday & Saturday Hours

Sam's Club Hours Today: Opening and Closing Times

The old split between weekday, Saturday and a short Sunday no longer applies at most clubs. Sam's Club announced a simplified schedule that took effect on October 12, 2025, and it is still the schedule most shoppers will find a year later.

Sam's Club Sunday Hours: No More 10 AM to 6 PM

Before the change, Sunday was the short day: clubs opened at 10:00 AM and closed at 6:00 PM. Under the current schedule Sunday looks like every other day, 8:00 AM for Plus members, 9:00 AM for everyone and an 8:00 PM close.

Plenty of older pages still list the previous Sunday window. If a site tells you a club closes at 6 PM on Sunday, it is probably quoting a schedule that ended in October 2025.

Sam's Club Plus Member Hours and Early Shopping

Plus membership comes with one hour of early access: Plus members can shop from 8:00 AM, and the doors open to Club members and Business members at 9:00 AM. That hour is available every day of the week, Sunday included.

This is a smaller perk than the one Sam's offered when early shopping launched. Trade coverage from that period described a 7:00 to 10:00 AM weekday window and 7:00 to 9:00 AM on Saturdays. Searches for "Plus hours" or "early hours" still bring up that older window, but the club-floor time today is the 8-to-9 hour.

Curbside pickup is a separate service. Reports on the new schedule say curbside orders start at 7:00 AM, an hour before the Plus members' shopping hour.

Sam's Club Holiday Hours: Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's

The company told shoppers that hours may vary on certain holidays, and it named four days when every club is closed.

Sam's Club on Black Friday, Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day

Black Friday is November 27, 2026. We found no published Sam's Club schedule for it, so the normal 8 AM to 8 PM day is the best working assumption, with the Plus hour first. Some stores may open or close at other times, and club pages are the place to confirm.

For Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day the company's only public statement is the general one that hours may vary on certain holidays. Earlier reports of a fixed 6:00 PM close on those days could not be traced to an official source.

Sam's Club Pharmacy, Gas, Optical and Tire Center Hours

These are among the most searched questions about Sam's Club hours, and they are the part the simplified schedule does not cover. The 8 AM to 8 PM times describe the main club; the pharmacy, fuel station, optical shop and tire and battery center each carry their own times on the club's page.

We were not able to open individual club pages (the site asks visitors to verify they are human), so we are not listing a department schedule. Treat any department time you see without a club page behind it as a guess.

Sam's Club Business Member Hours

Many searches for business hours come from shoppers buying for a business who want to avoid the crowds. The early 8:00 AM hour is a Plus benefit, so the general-admission opening time of 9:00 AM is the one to plan around unless you hold Plus.

The practical tip for a business run is the same as for anyone else: use curbside pickup, which starts earlier in the morning, or go in the first hour after 9:00 AM before the lunch crowd arrives.

What Changed in October 2025, and Why Old Hours Still Circulate

The simplified schedule was announced in a company release dated October 13, 2025, which said the decision followed overwhelming member feedback.

Because Sam's Club has operated on varied weekday, Saturday and Sunday schedules for years, hundreds of pages still describe them. The fastest sign that a page is out of date is a Sunday close at 6:00 PM.

Sam's Club Café, Curbside Pickup and Delivery Times

The Café starts serving food at 10:00 AM and closes at 8:00 PM, so it opens an hour after the club doors do. If you want a hot dog or a slice with your shop, arrive in the late morning.

Curbside pickup orders now begin at 7:00 AM under the new schedule, which is why a pickup window can start before the building is open to any shopper. Use the Sam's Club app to see the slots your own club offers.

How to Confirm Your Club's Hours Before You Go

• Search for your club on samsclub.com or in the Sam's Club app and read today's line, not the summary.
• Look for a holiday banner near Thanksgiving and Christmas; clubs post modified hours there.
• Check the department you need (pharmacy, fuel, optical, tire center) separately.
• Call the club if the page is out of date; a recorded message normally lists the schedule.
