BJ's Wholesale Club announced that it's continuing its expansion by opening four new clubs, the first phase of its 2022 development plans.
Its newest clubs will be located in Warwick, Rhode Island, Lady Lake, Florida, Canton, Michigan, and Greenburgh, New York.
“We continue to accelerate our expansion, and we're excited to open these new locations,” said Bill Werner, executive vice president, strategy and development for BJ's Wholesale Club, in a statement. “We're always looking for ways to bring the value and convenience of a BJ's membership to more shoppers, and extending our reach is a major way of achieving that.”
The Warwick club will serve as an innovation lab for the brand. Named BJ's Market, the club will allow for testing out new assortments, displays, product demonstrations, and convenience initiatives.
The new clubs in Florida, Michigan, and New York will feature an extensive selection of fresh foods, a full-service deli, and household essentials like paper products, cleaning products, diapers, and pet supplies, as well as clothing, seasonal items, toys, technology, and a selection of local products.
Each new BJ's Wholesale Club is expected to create approximately 150 jobs for their respective communities, and BJ's Market will create around 50 jobs for the respective community.
