Specialty Food Association

BJ's Wholesale Club revealed plans to add five clubs to its growing portfolio across the U.S. The expansion includes a new club in Madison, Alabama, increasing BJ’s retail footprint to 20 states.

BJ’s will also open clubs in Mt. Juliet, Tennessee, Johnson City, New York, Lewis Center, Ohio, and North Jacksonville, Florida. These clubs add to BJ’s 2023 roster of openings, following the retailer’s newest locations in Davenport, Florida, and McDonough, Georgia, as well as the recent announcement of BJ’s first club in Tennessee slated to open this summer.

“We are always striving to bring our BJ’s membership model to new markets and even more smart-saving families,” said Bill Werner, executive vice president of strategy and development at BJ’s, in a statement. “We have seen tremendous success with our newest openings. Our expansion into Tennessee and Alabama shortly thereafter is a great example of our efforts to meet the demand for the value, convenience, and assortment that BJ’s has to offer its growing member base.”

All five newly announced locations will include a BJ’s gas station. They will also feature local and seasonal items and a selection of fresh foods, produce, a full-service deli, household essentials, and more.

The new stores will support curbside pickup, in-club pickup, same-day delivery, and standard delivery from the website.
