Northwest San Antonio’s De Zavala Road Sam’s Club is in line for a serious glow-up, with a $25 million remodel that will refresh both the interior and exterior of the busy warehouse store. The work is set to cover roughly 131,000 square feet of retail space, and state records filed this month put construction on track to begin in summer 2026 and wrap by Oct. 15, 2026.
Inside the Remodel
A report filed with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation details a long to-do list for the overhaul, including a revamped optical sales and vision center, a consolidated pharmacy area and facelifts for the bakery, poultry cooler and rotisserie chicken displays, according to MySA. The filing estimates the privately funded project at about $25 million and confirms crews will focus on roughly 131,000 square feet of the club.
Part of a National Push
The De Zavala project is just one piece of a much larger transformation Sam’s Club rolled out in April 2025, when the chain announced plans to remodel its roughly 600 clubs while expanding its footprint and tech offerings in a bid to double membership and more than double sales and profit over the next eight to ten years, according to Sam’s Club. That strategy includes broader rollouts of Scan & Go checkout and personalized, AI-powered advertising inside clubs.
Timeline and Local Details
Online records show the San Antonio filing was logged with the state on Feb. 20, and MySA reports the project is expected to kick off in summer 2026 with a firm completion date of Oct. 15, 2026. MySA also notes the outlet contacted Walmart media relations for more specifics on the remodel and did not immediately receive a response.
What Shoppers Should Watch For
Sam’s Club has not yet posted a local closure or construction-phasing schedule, so members may want to keep an eye on in-store signs and online announcements before planning major stock-up runs, especially if they rely on the pharmacy or optical services. The San Antonio remodel follows a string of recent Sam’s Club renovations across Texas and around the country, signaling a broader push to modernize store layouts and digital checkout options, according to Community Impact.
