Our club was pretty consistently the best in the market. We were pretty shocked they chose to close ours vs the lower performing clubs in the area. Also, we have to put in transfer requests which does not guarantee us a position.
Considering my location, I'm hoping I'll either be able to get into a Walmart or Sam's with my same position as a pharmacy tech. I'd really hate to start all over with a other company!
From my understanding clubs that were closed were not profitable in many years. Basically costing the company more money to keep it open then what it's worth. Yes you may of had a awesome pharmacy team that was top of your market but what about your total club? Have you been hitting membership plan, profit max Sam's Share, how has your Sam's Share been the past few years, etc. Also, to someone else's point.... if you are saying another Sam's is close by this is why. They do not want to saturate markets anymore. Focus now on e commerce. Getting products to members quickly and easily. They had to cut the dead weight.
How many long term associates were in the club's that closed?? I bet many.
No offense... but why would they move to close a top preforming club in your market? That doesn't make sense. Has to be more to the story.
To me it looks like they moved to close underperforming clubs, exit Alaska (logistics) and Washington state (Costco), and clubs that oversaturated a market (maybe this was the reason?).
Just out of curiosity did your club have the cash recycler?
