• Walmart-owned Sam's Club is opening its own version of Amazon Go next month. It's called Sam's Club Now and is located in Dallas.
• The store has no registers, checkout lines, or cashiers. Customers must scan and pay for items using the Sam's Club Now app.
• The app saves customers' shopping lists, helps them navigate the store, and automatically eliminates scanned items from their lists as they shop. 

Sam's Club is opening a futuristic new store in Dallas, Texas, without registers, checkout lines, or cashiers.

The store, called Sam's Club Now, is about a quarter the size of a regular Sam's Club warehouse and will serve as a testing ground for new technologies, including self-service returns, digital price tags, and Scan & Go, which lets shoppers check out using a smartphone.

"This club is going to be unlike any other club we have in our portfolio," Sam's Club president and CEO John Furner said on a call with reporters. 

Here's what it's like:

To shop the store, customers must download the Sam's Club Now app.

The app is where customers will build their shopping lists and pay for items.

The app also has navigation software that can route shoppers directly to the items they need. This is meant to address what Sam's Club executives said is customers' top question.
