此次重新分区后的山姆大区结构为：南区、深圳区、江苏区、浙江区、上海区、北区、中区。其中，山姆南区、深圳区不变；江苏区（含安徽合肥）、浙江 区为新设大区，由东区、上海区"调配"过来，东区则不再单独存在；山姆北区则把江西南昌、湖南长沙市场划给了山姆中区。 从以上的调整来看，此次，山姆中国大区调整的重点之一，看起来就是华东市场，取消了东区，进而把江浙沪三个省区市场，彻底分开了，江苏、浙江、上 海分别独立成为一个单独的大区组织。 据报道，山姆会员店开启了一轮大区组织调整，将现有的6个大区进行了重新分区，新设江苏、浙江大区，山姆中国大区变成7个。 公开资料显示，山姆于1996年进入中国，2010年底，沃尔玛在深圳推出山姆会员网购服务。2014年底，山姆会员店全面升级其自有品牌"会员优品"。2018年 5月，山姆会员店开设独立于门店的"云仓"体系，开通基于自营电商平台的1小时"极速达"送达业务。截至2024年，山姆在全球已拥有800多家门店。 沃尔玛2026财年第一财季财报（截至2025年4月30日）显示，沃尔玛全球净销售额为1656亿美元，其中，沃尔玛中国净销售额为67亿美元，同比增长 22.5%。作为沃尔玛三大主要业 ...

智通财经APP获悉，美国零售巨头沃尔玛(WMT.US)将在五个新城市增加无人机送货服务，以扩大其在 线销售并更快地将商品送到消费者手中。据悉，沃尔玛将在北卡罗来纳州夏洛特、佛罗里达州坦帕、乔 治亚州亚特兰大、德克萨斯州休斯顿和佛罗里达州奥兰多的100家门店推出无人机送货服务。沃尔玛表 示，该公司是首个在五个州实现无人机配送规模化运营的零售商。 快速送达服务一直是沃尔玛业务增长的关键领域之一，因为消费者越来越重视便利性，也更愿意为此支 付更高费用。通过无人机配送，商品最快几分钟即可送达。沃尔玛表示，通过无人机经常配送的商品包 括新鲜水果、鸡蛋、宠物食品和冰淇淋。 沃尔玛美国首席电子商务官David Guggina表示，更快的送达窗口为消费者带来了更多灵活性。他表 示："你告诉我这个商品将在45分钟内送达，那我就能围绕这个非常明确的时间窗口来安排我的生活。" 沃尔玛预计，其在线业务将在今年实现盈利——这是在该公司投入数十亿美元与亚马逊(AMZN.US)等 电商巨头竞争之后的重要里程碑。由于运费、人工和燃油成本高昂，电子商务对零售商来说成本一直不 低。沃尔玛一直致力于通过自动化仓储和批量处理更多订单来削减成本。与此 ...

说到「沃尔玛」，很多人第一时间想到的，可能都是它遍布全美的实体大卖场，或者「山姆会员商店」。自 1962 年开设第一家门店以来，沃尔玛始终专注于实体零售经济，凭借「天天低价」的承诺，成为中低收入美 国人的首选零售商，并在 1990 年登顶美国零售业榜首。 其实，沃尔玛对电商的探索可以追溯到上世纪。1996 年，沃尔玛上线了自己的在线商店，但业内普遍认为这 更像是一场实验，而非长期战略。尽管后来成立了电商部门、收购相关企业，沃尔玛的重心依然放在实体零 售。 正如《财富》杂志所说，沃尔玛长期陷入「创新者的困境」——作为线下零售巨头，他们担心电商业务长期需 要现金流补贴，会蚕食本已成熟的实体零售，因此在电商探索上显得保守。这也让「亚马逊」抓住机会，成为 电商领域的一家独大。 ▲ 图源：华尔街日报 eMarketer 的分析师指出，在疫情爆发之前，沃尔玛的电商业务发展缓慢。但疫情开始后，美国消费者大规模 转向线上购物，这打破了沃尔玛内部「门店优先」的既得利益格局，也倒逼他们打通线上线下，迫使他们改造 并利用现有门店网络来满足飙升的在线订单需求。 《经济学人》认为，沃尔玛的最大优势就是 实体布局 。行业数据显示，沃尔玛 ...

不过，颇具戏剧性的是，这位零售业传奇人物可能不会想到，其创立的、定位中产精英的山姆会员商店，会以另一种形式在中国下沉市场生根发芽——无 数代购们正跨越数百公里，用最原始的商业模式，为这个零售巨头完成"最后一公里"的渠道下沉。 "在美国的小城镇里，有着非常大的商机，比任何人，也包括我，所想象的要多得多。"沃尔玛创始人山姆·沃尔顿在其自传《富甲美国》中的这句断言， 正在当代中国县域市场得到全新诠释。 而在这场代购热潮中，一个显著的变化已经发生：继"网上接单超市抢购""路边摆摊现场分装"之后，会员超市代购发展出了实体店模式。 代购实体店为何会兴起？代购实体店是一门好生意吗？ 综合来看，当前市场上的代购实体店主要分为三种类型：专营山姆等单一品牌商品的专卖店，集合多个品牌商品的综合店（如山姆、胖东来、盒马等）以 及水果店等传统店铺兼营的代购业务（有的仅对分装产品收取服务费）。此外还有不设货架、只做自提的提货点。 "县城分姆"的兴起与县域消费能力的增强密不可分。国家统计局数据显示，2019-2024年间，县乡社会消费品零售总额全国占比从36.8%提升至38.8%。稳 定增长的数据之下，"县城中产""县城贵妇"等下沉市场消 ...

还有晋江（福建县域经济第一）、昆山（连续18年百强县榜首）均成为新据点。这些区域人均可支配收入超6万元，家庭汽车保有量达一线城市水平，完 美匹配山姆"中产家庭、高频次、高客单"的会员画像。 门店密度激增在倒逼山姆管理架构变革。截至2025年5月，上海独占7店，北京、深圳各拥4店，而广袤的北方仅有北京、天津、沈阳等零星据点，郑州、 青岛项目预计2026年才能面世。在华东区域聚集了山姆近40%的门店，也面临更加激烈的竞争态势。 近日，多家权威媒体报道山姆会员店开启新一轮大区组织调整，原6个大区裂变为7个，新设江苏、浙江两大区，同时取消原东区建制。华东市场被拆分为 江苏、浙江、上海三个独立战区。这场变革距离山姆新帅Jane Ewing上任仅百日，也意味着山姆站上"规模效率"发展的新阶段。 向下沉城市"扩张" 山姆的扩张速度正在刷新纪录。2025年原计划新增8家门店，而实际进度远超预期，6月前已落地合肥、嘉兴、武汉等6店，全国门店总数达56家。若上海 金桥、广州荔湾等店如期落地，全年新增门店可能达到11家，创下入华29年来的开店巅峰。 其布局呈现两大特征。首先是华东加密，上海金桥店（浦东第三店）、无锡惠山店（苏南第二 ...
