Sam's Club is bringing back free samples
CNN
Sam's Club is the latest warehouse chain to bring back food samples, joining rival Costco in returning to a pre-pandemic shopping staple.
Beginning this week the company is relaunching its sampling and demo program, called "Taste & Tips," across its roughly 600 US locations. The perk was discontinued in March 2020 as the pandemic hit America. It won't be exactly like pre-pandemic times, however. For now, at least, "Taste & Tips"will be available only on weekends, and it will include sealed samples in limited quantities. Sam's Club said in a press release that it's also planning "new, immersive sampling experiences," including food trucks that will hand out samples from its private label, Member's Mark.More Related News
