Sam's 28 year old Wholesale Club

Except for a couple of Sears stores and small handful of Krogers, this Sam's would most likely be the next longest running large-scale retail venture in the Memphis area that's still in it's original structure and retains it's (mostly) original name. Macy's don't count: they started as Goldsmith's stores.

 

Back when it was known as "Sam's Wholesale Club", I believe you could buy a fancier membership and pay even less than the posted price. We were too poor to afford that fancy membership! This structure was built in 1985, just months before the McDonald's, and was one of the first (possibly the very first) Sam's around.
