Wal-Mart Stores To Close Chain's Only Mas Club

Wal-Mart Stores is closing its one Más Club membership warehouse store, which is located in Houston, the company announced.

The store at 8711 North Freeway is organized like a traditional Sam's Club, but it carries more Hispanic-focus merchandise.

The store will close Feb. 7, Wal-Mart Stores' director of communications Anne Hatfield said.

Más Club opened as a test format in 2009, she said, and the parent company came to realize that it made more sense to incorporate its best working elements, including some of the merchandise, into traditional Sam's Clubs in Houston and throughout the U.S.
