Sam's Club Grand Opening Features Holt Marching Band, Grant Recipients
Sam's Club opened their Wentzville store at Tuesday's Grand Opening event.
The Holt High School Marching Band led the crowd in a rousing cheer of "S-A-M-S!" A men's choir performed, and Petty Officer First Class Jenero Wilson sang an inspiring version of the National Anthem.
Sam's Club celebrated its Grand Opening Tuesday morning, after a "soft" opening Monday night drew a huge crowd.
The celebration culminated with Store Manager Steven Johnson snipping a blue ribbon with a pair of oversized scissors, and the Wentzville Sam's Club was open for business.
