Good for hard liquor, and around holidays or special times, they have bottles with glasses or extras for the same price. They have delicious fresh bread, but since it's a bulk-buying store, make sure you have people to eat it all the day or two after you buy it. Also, lately, I have been obsessed with Smart Food White Cheddar Popcorn, which they have here for relatively cheap and a lot of it. read more

A mix of Aldi value, Kroger selection, Costco layout, and Dollar General somehow, haven't found the nutrition forward options like Costco and others have. For example, peanut butter option all have extremely unhealthy seed oils unlike Costco making the stuff with two ingredients. I did find a fantastic brewery aisle and took home a four pack of the local White Oak blueberry Holey Jeans which is a smash hit. read more

Sam's Club - Front - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Normal, Illinois

Good Sam's club location employees are pleasant and selection is good. Samples are ample!

I'm so glad Sam's and Walmart has such a non concern for senior citizens. I just had to renew my annual membership and I had to pay $60 and I can't even use the gas pumps for a discount on gas. I love the pharmacy staff, but it's not worth it anymore as a senior citizen! Not surprised because Walmart is only worried about Walmart! I was at the Walmart in Morton the other day and there was only one lane open to check out, and the self checkouts had huge lines; so much for customer service at Walmart! Sam's is a clear example of their interest in small buyers! I'm done. At 72 I am not interested in catering to companies like Walmart and obviously Sam's! read more

I was visiting Bloomington for the day and decided to stop by Sam's to see what good deals they had! I ended up leaving with the ninja creami as that was the lowest price I have seen since I've been looking at this item! I'm looking forward to making my own ice cream! There is some construction going on in the store and I asked an employee at the bakery and he said that it was for a future walk in cooler for all of the produce so that's going to be really nice and there's going to be plenty of space for that! Lots of great deals in the store are definitely worth the membership price! There are so many different types of items available for a great price, some better than others and the deals change all the time! PS I didn't buy it this time but make sure you try the Brownie and caramel sundae sometime in the near future because it is just absolutely amazing! read more

See all

I need to write this review because I did not realize this happened till yesterday. Friday we had a great in club experience, however, we had the worst at the gas pump! Let me explain....I had a small balance on my prepaid card. I deleted all the payment information and default the payment to my prepaid card. Put in exactly the amount. Email receipt was in my app and all the credit card numbers were blocked on the receipt. Did not think much of it till I can see it was charged to our credit card instead. There was not a way to check and see if Sam's got a duplicate payment or not. I don't even know how to go about getting the receipt from the gas station to see and I cannot dispute that with the credit card company unless I have prove. What be I mess! So today I decided to go there and see if my prepaid card would work. Made a couple of purchases. I only have $1.09 left after that. I guess I resolved the issue. Although it might be the prepaid card that made it difficult, Sam's should improve my shopping experience! read more

Sam's Club - Pumpkin crumb cake - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Normal, Illinois

This is my favorite store for a couple reasons I got my first FNAF book there ( would recommend) The pretzels at the food area taste like they're from heaven as well as the pizza. Just a good store in general read more

Was in a tire emergency on a Sunday afternoon and the two gentlemen working were not only helpful but went above and beyond. Genuine? Kind, helpful and quick. Saved my Sunday. read more

Sams is ok but the pharmacy and optical departments are just awful. I would advise people not to use either one. It's a clean store and they have a lot of things in stock but customer service is non existent. I go less and less all the time. read more

Been going to this store for years and even worked there for a very short time. I've never had a bad experience with staff and it is always kept clean. Otherwise, it is mostly a standard Sam's Club. If you buy in bulk or run a business, it can definitely be a money saver. The only criticism I can regularly encounter is that there are never enough tables for people eating there. The food is good and cheap, so I just tend to get carryout instead. read more

DONT BUY TIRES FROM SAMS!!!! They don't talk to the tire manufacturer so the mileage warranty on tires means nothing to them! You have to contact the tire maker yourself! Do yourself a favor and buy from a tire shop. You get what you pay for, the guy told me the mileage warranty means nothing because and I quote "we don't speak to the tire manufacturer we buy wholesale from a secondary dealer" meaning they aren't a authorized dealer. My membership is up in April, time to try costco read more

Definitely not COSTCO... we need a Costco. Standing here at customer service with one associate at the desk. It was like being frozen in time! This would never happen at Costco. They need to start looking the place and drop the attitude. Bloomington needs a Costco!! read more

Why is there no gas attendant on site? And why are the pumps that do not work not blocked off what so ever? Also the gas pumps continuously decline your membership card making it so time consuming to even get gas. read more

Okay, I'm bringing my review back up because the snack bar has consistently been competent (although, the tables could be cleaner) and the gas is often the cheapest in the area. read more

THIRTY minutes to fuel my car. I didn't wait in a line, the pump for premium fuel is just that slow. And your attendant checked on EVERYONE else but didn't bother to try and assist me. Fix your pumps, this is a long term problem with premium fuel at your station and no other gas station has this issue read more

We were in at Sams in Normal on October 28, 2020 to have tires installed on our car. The tire shop personnel were very courteous and fast. We Recommend Shop and Personnel... read more

Did you know that if you can't afford (or just don't want) to be a "plus"member ( in other words pay a higher fee) you are discriminated against and not allowed to shop before 10am even though the store is open before that time. I usually don't go grocery shopping that early, but I had company coming and wanted to grab a couple of items before they arrived. I wasn't aware of Sam's stupid policy, and didn't realize that my membership wasn't as important as someone dumb enough to fall for their scam. So, I drove all the way to the store, and they wouldn't let me in. Needless to say, I bought my groceries elsewhere! They literally would not let me in at 9:45. read more

Huge appreciation to Sam's Bakery Associates and compliments to their hiring team for selecting individuals who are creative, personable/engaging and committed to excellence in customer service. On the afternoon of Friday, June 5, my family stopped by Sams Bakery to order a birthday cake and 30 cupcakes for our daughter's upcoming birthday party. There were two associates that greeted us, took our order and explained how Sams could make our unique cake design a realty, for less (amount of money). Their pride and passion for a reputable product was exhibited in their collaboration and documentation of our order. Even though the season of COVID-19/PPE has sometimes made it difficult to connect with others....for reasons we understand.... (I.e., masks, social distancing, shields, etc) the 2 associates at Sam's Bakery on June 5th didn't allow intimacy in customer service to be compromised as they elevated their contributions/connectivity in assisting us with our order. Note: Due to the protective articles the 2 associates were wearing, we were only able to identify one of the associate's names from their badges. (Male: Kris, Female: ???) Kris/"Ms. Associate"....Thank you for all you do!! read more

The team working the tire department last weekend really took great care of me, had an emergency with no spare and they got me right in and had me back on the road in less than 2 hours. Really nice crew and they did an awesome job! read more

Sams club is great! They have a small food court, food samples as you go through the store ( on certain days), and a large quantity of goods. It's a nice place to shops if you are looking for good bulk prices. read more

This Sam's Club has horrible customer service. I ordered photo Christmas cards. The Christmas cards were six days late, which bad enough, but the customer service desk left me on hold for 20 minutes and hung on me twice when called to find if they had arrived to saVe me a 15 minute drive to picK them up. When I did reach the desk, the lady completely rude and worthless. Awful customer service. Thinking of moving to Costco after twenty years of beIng a loyal Sam's customer. read more

Cheapest gas in town. They often change their prices later in the day then most places. The store is great too. Get the free cookie for the kids in the bakery!! read more

Sam's Club - Wholesale Stores Near Me - Normal, Illinois

Had a bad experience with Steven in tires also. He threw a pen at me like a dog and was very rude. I said something to him and all he did was mumble and walk off. I called to speak with the supervisor on duty and they brushed me off. Went back 3 weeks later and nothing has changed. No matter how many years of service still doesn't give you a right to down out right nasty to paying customer. read more

The optical department at this Sam's Club is Out Of This World Amazing starting with making an appointment on the phone or just asking them a general question, to being seen and getting the eye exam. Everyone was gracious and they all followed to the letter Covid Protocol. I highly recommend them. Sam's Club Optical in Normal, Illinois is my only place to take care of my eyes. read more

Ive been a member of Sams Club for 6 years. The prices are great and the selection is fresh and plentiful. Their electronics, books, alcohol selection and odds and ends are awesome. Usually great quality and inexpensive. I love their chickens. Huge. Weekends are full of samples everywhere. A must go! read more

Vision center is awful. Doctor is super rude. Charges not as advertised. Doctor loves to waste other people's time really unpleasant rude. Just not a good or capable doctor likes to cause problems and doesn't know how to run a business. Poor attitude bad service. read more

Beware ! SAMs Club sells (or gives away for free) members personal information to telemarketers...It seems the calls come from credit card companies.... I have not been able to stop them. read more

I've been a member of Sam's since 1994. If all you do is buy toilet paper you will more than cover the cost of membership. And there is SOOO much more!!! My regular buys at Sams; cheese, TP, PT, clothes, razors, household items, kitchen items, bulk organic spices and electronics. I'm a bargain shopper and I only buy things that are best value. They also have an excellent take home pizza that's hands down the best value in the area. read more

Cole in fax& pull is a very good employee and she should be employee of the month she is that good at her job she always smiles and is knowing of her job she is the best ever way to go Cole read more

If you need bulk TP or food this is the place to go....

"Michael" at the Customer Service desk lacks empathy and is quite the passive individual, refusing to assist me in my return (of items I purchased at this very Sam's Club store) unless I practically begged him to do his job and look up my receipt via my Plus Membership card. The only reason I give it 2 stars (and not 1) is because almost every other trip to this Sam's Club, I've had a great experience. They have a bountiful selection, great prices and traditionally good customer service (better than Walmart, at least). I I highly recommend the Castle Wood Honey Roasted Turkey Breast, bottled water, large hand sanitizer (generic Germ-X), Tyson Chicken Tender(loins), and the Valley Select French Fries (30lbs box), but avoid Michael (at customer service) if you can. read more

Why pay to shop? Customer service is the worst. You the customer paid for a membership, WHY? It's worst than the regular Wal-Mart store employees. Stop. NO SAVINGS read more

I've never once found employees to be helpful here. No one smiles or greets you and that's something that bothers me. Also took away Evian water for a long time and just recently brought it back. It's not bad but avoid the little restaurant the food isn't very good. It's good if you like to buy things in bulk but very easy to spend hundreds of dollars in one trip. read more

Is rolling eyes at the customer the new motto at Sam's Club? I came in today looking to purchase my usual items for my business, which mind you spends thousands of dollars at this particular Sam's club every month and never have I ever felt so angry before. This girl who was wearing a green vest named Chelse was organizing merchandise when I came up and asked a question about an item. She rolled her eyes every time I open my mouth to ask a question and basically told me to go look for it myself because, basically her explanation is I did not look careful enough. I do not want to judge or anything but she looks and sounds like she is under the influence. I finally found another employee who was more than enthusiastic to help me locate the item. My membership, along with my employees' add-ons (6 in total) are not much but if this is how I have to feel every time I shop at Sam's Club then Id rather just go to the new Hy-vee down the street or somewhere else. Sam's Club general manager Tom, please do something about this. My email is ash.pittman78@gmail.com, please give me an explanation or if you need more details about this, please email me. I have been a member since 2000 and I would like to cont being a member but not when I get treated like crap at your store. I do not have a problem going to the next chain of command if nothing is done about this. I am sure I am not the only one who came across such rudeness from your employee. read more

Went into Sam's Club today and was informed by the greeter-gal that because I had a backpack over my shoulder, she wasn't going to let me in. Then, she changed her stance because she said that it was obviously being used as my purse so I could go in, but I had to "put it on the very bottom of the cart and do not touch it while I was in the store." I just looked at her and she was stuttering and stammering and trying to tell me that she tells people that same thing if they have a large purse or any other large bag that she deems is "too big." Errrm. Okay. Fine. I went to get my prescription at the pharmacy and really wasn't sure if I was going to get thrown out for reaching in my bag to get my billfold. I then walked around the store to see just what other people had in their carts, purse-wise. Well, wouldn't you know it? There was a couple with a big ol' bag in the front of their cart, another lady that also had a very large purse in front of her cart, and oh, wait! Another person that had a huge backpack in his cart. By this time, I was FUMING! I checked out and left that stupid store. I emailed Sam's Club and I'd better get a response. read more
