In 1987, Sam's Club made its first acquisition by purchasing West Monroe, Louisiana-based SuperSaver Wholesale Warehouse Club; the purchase expanded the chain by 24 locations. The stores were owned by Alton Hardy Howard and his son John. In 1989, Sam's Club entered New Jersey with a club in Delran in a former Two Guys/Jefferson Ward store. This was Walmart's first expansion into the Northeast. [citation needed] The first Walmart discount store (now expanded into a Supercenter) in New Jersey opened in 1991 in Turnersville. [citation needed] The company entered the Pennsylvania market in 1990. [citation needed] In 1993, Walmart acquired PACE Membership Warehouse from Kmart and converted many (but not all) PACE locations into Sam's Clubs. [citation needed] Sam's Club entered the Canadian market in Ontario in 2003.
