Stirling Properties Officially Announces Sam’s Club is Coming to Stirling Bossier Shopping Center
Stirling Properties, developer and property manager of Stirling Bossier Shopping Center in Bossier City, Louisiana, officially announces the addition of Sam’s Club to its tenant lineup. Construction is underway on the parcel next to Academy Sports + Outdoors fronting Beene Boulevard.
The new Sam’s Club, plus fuel station, will be the first one in Bossier Parish and the 15th in Louisiana. The opening is scheduled for Summer 2014.
“Sam’s Club is a great addition to the Bossier market and Stirling Bossier Shopping Center” stated Donna Taylor, Senior Vice President of Asset Management and New Business Development for Stirling Properties. “With the addition of Sam’s Club, there is only a 3-acre site left to be developed and we anticipate we will have a great deal of tenant interest in this tract for development with the addition of Sam’s.”
Measuring approximately 136,000 square feet, the new club will feature a variety of members-only amenities, including a Fresh Bakery, a Tire and Battery Center, a Café and a Fuel Station. The Sam’s Club Pharmacy, open to both members and the public, features many $4 and $10 generic prescriptions, as well as extraordinary savings on branded prescriptions. Also, the new club will debut a new Hearing Aid Center, offering premium technology in hearing aids and personal listening devices available from a certified audiologist.
“The new Bossier City Sam’s Club will allow us to expand our service in a region of Louisiana we have served since 1986 through our Shreveport Club,” said John Bernheim, the local market manager for Sam’s Club in northern Louisiana. “We are pleased to grow east of the Red River, an area that has seen exceptional growth during the past few years.”Sam’s Club will utilize a variety of environmentally friendly-materials and energy-efficient fixtures in its construction, including daylight-harvesting skylights that reduce the amount of energy required to light the store by up to 75 percent daily. LED lighting throughout the club, including in the cooler and freezer box doors and jewelry counter, operates 70 percent more efficiently than traditional fluorescent lighting.
Also coming to Stirling Bossier Shopping Center is Dickey’s Barbeque Pit, a fast casual, quick-serve, full-service barbeque restaurant that smokes all of their meats onsite. They are scheduled to open late 2013 in the former Quizno’s space on Beene Boulevard. To date, over thirty retail, service and restaurant tenants are already in operation at Stirling Bossier, which officially opened in July 2007.
