Membership-based retailer BJ’s Wholesale Club says it plans to open 25-30 clubs over the next two fiscal years, including several clubs set for the Dallas-Fort Worth area starting in early 2026.
“We are eager to continue our expansion by bringing unbeatable value, convenience and assortment to the Dallas-Fort Worth community,” Bob Eddy, chairman and CEO of BJ’s Wholesale Club, said in a news release. “Economic expansion and a growing population make Texas a great fit for us. We believe our unique club model, which delivers savings of up to 25% off grocery store prices every day, will resonate with the families in this area. We look forward to living our purpose of ‘taking care of the families who depend on us’ in Texas.”
BJ’s says it has a long-standing commitment to the communities where its members and team members live and work. Established in 2004, the BJ’s Charitable Foundation provides essential needs to families through local and national non-profit partnerships. The foundation focuses its giving efforts on three main pillars: hunger relief, education and health and wellness, the release said.
BJ’s also partners with Feeding America and its network of food banks to help end hunger in the communities where it operates, and for over 15 years the partnership has provided more than 125 million meals for those in need, the release said. Once open, each new club in Texas will support a local food bank with weekly donations of produce, meat and dairy products, the company said.
BJ’s also announced the following new locations set to open in 2025:
- Delray Beach, Fla.
- Warner Robins, Ga.
- Sevierville, Tenn.
- Casselberry, Fla.
The location in Delray Beach will be a BJ’s market — the second of the company’s concept clubs. BJ’s market provides a convenient, expedited grocery shopping experience that will feature top-selling fresh foods, produce, sundries and seasonal products for members, the release said.
“Our newest BJ’s market will deliver an innovative approach to grocery shopping to the Delray Beach community,” said Bill Werner, executive vice president of strategy and development for BJ’s Wholesale Club. “Members will be able to get unbeatable value on fresh food and weekly grocery needs in a quick and efficient shopping experience.”
The company’s plans for 25-30 clubs include previously announced club openings in early fiscal 2025:
- Brooksville, Fla. (opened February)
- Myrtle Beach, S.C. (opened February)
- Southern Pines, N.C. (opening March 7)
- Whippany, N.J.
- Staten Island, N.Y.
Each new club location is expected to create between 100-150 jobs in its community, the release said.
