BJ’s Wholesale Club announced plans Aug. 21 for a new club location in Tyler, Texas. The club builds on the company’s debut in the Dallas-Fort Worth area earlier this year.
The new location is part of BJ’s growth strategy, with the company on track to open 25-30 new clubs every two years.
“Value is the foundation of our company. BJ’s has been delivering unbeatable savings and convenience to families for more than 40 years,” said Bill Werner, EVP of strategy and development at BJ’s Wholesale Club. “We’re thrilled by the enthusiasm we’ve seen from members in Texas and look forward to taking care of families in Tyler and the surrounding communities.”
The new Texas club joins previously announced planned locations in Foley, Alabama; Frankfort, Kentucky; Mesquite, Texas; Ocala, Lecanto and Port St. Lucie, Florida; and Portage, Indiana.
BJ’s Wholesale Club offers fresh food and produce, a full-service deli and bakery, household essentials, pet supplies, toys, consumer electronics, apparel and seasonal decor.
The company offers members options for shopping online or in-club, including curbside and in-club pickup; same-day delivery, with fresh groceries and everyday essentials delivered to members’ doorsteps in as little as two hours; ExpressPay, a mobile checkout feature in the BJ’s app that allows members to scan items as they shop and skip the checkout line; and on-site gas stations with savings opportunities through the BJ’s Fuel Saver Program.
The Tyler location is expected to create between 100-150 jobs. Team member development and training are a central focus at BJ’s Wholesale Club.
Headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, the company pioneered the warehouse club model in New England in 1984 and operates 267 clubs and 206 BJ’s Gas locations in 22 states.
