BJ’s to make Alabama debut
BJ’s Wholesale Club is getting ready to enter its 20th state as it continues to grow its footprint in the Southeast.
The membership warehouse club retailer will open a store in Madison, Ala., on Friday, Nov. 10. The club is part of Town Madison, a mixed-use development close to Toyota Field.
The new location, which also has an on-site BJ’s Gas, is the company’s 239th club and first-ever in the state of Alabama.
Local shoppers can join the new club with BJ’s limited-time founding member offer available through Nov. 9. From Nov. 10-12, BJ’s members will also be eligible to receive a digital coupon for a free fresh or frozen Butterball whole turkey when they spend $150 in the same transaction, in-club or online.
BJ’s is opening in Alabama as it continues to expand in Tennessee, where it will open its third location, in Goodlettsville, early next year.
“We’ve seen tremendous demand in Tennessee for the unbeatable value and member benefits our BJ’s model delivers and are thrilled to continue to bring BJ’s incredible savings to more families within the state,” said Bill Werner, executive VP, strategy and development, BJ’s Wholesale Club.
BJ’s Wholesale Club is an active participant in its local communities. The BJ’s Charitable Foundation supports a range of organizations and programs across 20 states. In Madison, BJ’s is partnering with the Food Bank of North Alabama, donating nutritious, fresh foods to help local families.
“With Thanksgiving fast approaching, we are excited to have BJ’s Wholesale Club as the newest member of the Madison community,” said Shirley Schofield, CEO, Food Bank of North Alabama. “The holidays are a vital time to ensure that those in need have access to basics and our partnership with BJ’s allows us to do that.”
To date, BJ’s has partnered with Feeding America and the Feeding America network of food banks for over 15 years, providing more than 122 million meals to local families.
Headquartered in Marlborough, Mass., BJ’s currently operates 238 clubs and 169 BJ's Gas locations.
