Fourth-quarter results in February will go hand in hand with an outline explain these changes, said Brian Cornell, Sam’s Club Chief Executive Officer, although he does not anticipate any “material” financial “impact.” He was quoted by Reuters as stating in an interview, "We look at this as an investment in the in-club experience. This is not a cost-cutting move for us in the short term. We really hope it will be cost neutral for our operation. It's an investment in building loyalty, enhancing the member experience and driving future growth."
