BJ’s Wholesale Club will open its new Ocala, Florida, club at 7351 SW 60th Ave. on Oct. 23.
To celebrate, the on-site BJ’s Gas will offer members $2-per-gallon regular gas for one day only on Oct. 21 from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., with a 30-gallon limit. Limited-time membership offers start at $40 for one year and include a $10 reward for each $100 transaction during the club’s first 90 days.
“BJ’s members save up to 25 percent off grocery store prices every day. We’re thrilled to bring that unbeatable value and convenience to Ocala,” said Jeff Scott, club manager of the Ocala BJ’s. “We’re excited to be part of the community and look forward to taking care of the families who depend on us.”
The club offers fresh foods, produce, a full-service deli, fresh bakery goods, household essentials, pet supplies, electronics and more, with curbside pickup, same-day delivery and shipping available through BJs.com. Members shopping in-club can use ExpressPay through the BJ’s mobile app to scan products as they shop and skip the checkout line.
