WEST ALLIS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Sam's Club locations in West Allis and Madison have temporarily closed in advance of a permanent closure. Signs outside of the store in West Allis says that the store is closed Thursday, January 11 and then will re-open on Friday with reduced hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

According to employees, Sam's Club has offered to pay double time for people to stay and work through the end of January while they get rid of their inventory.
