“No doubt about it, Sam’s Club is going to be a tremendous boost to our economy and keep our locals inside the county and community.  We are very fortunate to have Sam’s Club here in Easley,” Mayor Larry Bagwell said.

Sam’s Club has a longstanding commitment to give back to the communities it serves, and in that giving spirit, associates at the Easley Sam’s Club selected several local organizations to receive a combined total of $13,000 in grants from the Sam’s Club Giving Program. Grants being presented during the grand opening ceremony include: Easley Fire Department, Mary’s House, Pickens County Sheriff’s Office, Pickens County Senior Center, School District of Pickens County Student Nutrition Service Program, Shine Soup Kitchen, Butterfly Ministry for Girls and Parenting Place.
