The Sam's Club at 4600 Highway 98 North is getting new coolers and refrigeration, with building and fire-system permits now issued.
The Sam's Club store (#6441) at 4600 Highway 98 North has pulled a set of permits for a refrigeration project. The main building permit, valued at $250,000, covers a remodel/alteration described simply as a "Refrigeration Project," with Kalos Services, Inc. listed as the contractor. It was issued in late April 2026.
Alongside it, the store has issued fire-protection permits tied to the work, including a cooler fire-sprinkler job and a fire/burglary alarm permit. Separately, the store has run its usual seasonal sparkler-sales permits. The property owner on all the records is Sams East Inc.
This is interior upgrade work at an existing store rather than new construction, so there is no new building or opening date in the records.
