BJ’s Wholesale Club is continuing its recent expansion with the opening of four new warehouse clubs, including its first in Indiana and another in Columbus, Ohio. Its store in Indiana means BJ’s is now present in 18 states. The new stores will raise the company’s total to 233.
BJ’s opened five new clubs and seven new BJ’s gas stations in 2021 and ended the year with 226 clubs and 157 fuel locations in 17 states. The company aims to open around 10 this year and in 2023.
“We’ve seen tremendous success in growing our footprint over the last several years, both in our core East Coast communities as well as in new markets like the greater Detroit and Pittsburgh areas,” Bill Werner, executive vice president of strategy and development at BJ’s, said. “Our expansion into the greater Indianapolis and Columbus markets allows us to bring the value of our membership to these new communities we look forward to serving.”
All four new clubs will feature BJ’s one-stop shopping experience, including an extensive selection of fresh foods; a full-service deli; household essentials like paper products, cleaning products, diapers, and pet supplies; and apparel, seasonal items, toys, tech, and local products.
