Surprise, Arizona is Getting a Sam's Club!
Little by little the landscape of Surprise is changing. Much of it is exciting (new shopping complexes constructed within the city guidelines to look like unique villages). Some of it is sad (the farmlands just minutes away are slowly disappearing).
Probably the next BIG addition to our city is the new Sam's Club that will be opening on the SE corner of Bell and the Loop-303. Some people may not think this is a plus. Some may wish it was a Costco. But many will become avid customers.
I still haven't seen the projected Grand Opening date but it will no doubt be before the end of the year. My guess is, they will want to have it open before the holiday shopping season begins in November. They are certainly working fast now. The parking lot has finally been poured and the lights throughout installed. The building itself will no doubt go up quickly (it sometimes seems they appear overnight).
In any event, the more ammenities and retailers we get out here in the northwest valley the less we will need to travel eastward to meet our needs. Our little city is growing up. And someday, as was told to me by someone who used to work for the Phoenix planning commission, Surprise will be the center of the valley.
Those of us that already live here already know it is a special place to live and there are MANY exciting additions on the horizon.
