Company Overview

BJ’s Wholesale Club, headquartered in Westborough, Massachusetts, is a membership-based warehouse retailer offering a wide range of products and services primarily to small businesses and individual consumers.

In addition to its in-club offerings, BJ’s features fuel stations at many locations and operates an e-commerce platform for online ordering and home delivery.

Founded in 1984 as a division of Zayre Corp., BJ’s Wholesale Club quickly expanded throughout the Northeastern United States.

The company completed a spinoff from TJX in 1997, becoming an independent, publicly traded entity.

Today, BJ’s serves members across 17 states, with the highest concentration of clubs in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions and select locations in Florida and other southeastern states. Each club typically spans over 100,000 square feet, combining self-service aisles with club-size packaging and exclusive private-label brands. The company’s digital channel complements its brick-and-mortar clubs by offering everyday essentials, bulk items and special-order products for home delivery or in-club pickup.

BJ’s leadership team is comprised of seasoned retail and supply chain professionals focused on member value and operational efficiency. The company emphasizes a differentiated membership model, strategic partnerships with national and local vendors, and investments in technology to enhance the shopping experience and streamline distribution. Through its network of clubs and omni-channel capabilities, BJ’s Wholesale Club aims to deliver a compelling value proposition for both business and household members.
