POOLER, Ga. - March 27, 2015 - The Pooler Sam's club was recently awarded Club of the Year by Sam's Club corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.

In honor of the award, the company is throwing a party at the Pooler club this Tuesday morning to recognize the management team and associates for all their hard work.
