BJ’s newest location is in …
BJ’s Wholesale Club has had a busy couple of months.
The membership warehouse club will open a new location on Nov. 4, in New Albany, Ohio. It will be BJ’s seventh store in the state of Ohio, for a total of 233 U.S. clubs.
BJ’s has been busy expanding its footprint. On Oct. 28, the retailer opened in Greenburgh, New York. The new location is BJ’s 47th in the Empire State. And at the end of September, the retailer opened its first location in Indiana, in Noblesville. In May, the company debuted a new club concept, called BJ's market, in Warwick, R.I. At 43,000 sq. ft., the new format is about half the size of a full-sized BJ’s.
BJ’s recently completed its move to a new corporate headquarters. The state-of-the-art facility incorporates modern open-space concepts and the latest technology to serve BJ’s 1,000-plus team members who work at the new location.

“Our team is excited to expand our footprint in the state of Ohio and bring a brand-new club to the Columbus area,” said Ron Hight, club manager of the New Albany BJ’s Wholesale Club. “We can’t wait to open our doors on Friday to all of our new members and bring BJ’s unbeatable value and incredible savings to our local families in this new market.”
BJ’s Charitable Foundation is proud to support the local community through its Feeding Communities program. The program is a food rescue partnership where the company donates unsold perishable food to Feeding America member food banks in its footprint, helping to get wholesome food onto the plates of families. In New Albany, BJ’s food bank partner is Mid-Ohio Food Collective.
“We are thrilled to establish a new partnership with BJ’s Wholesale Club here in the New Albany area,” said Matt Habash, president & CEO of Mid-Ohio Food Collective. “We are seeing record levels of hunger across our communities. It is always impactful and inspiring when amazing organizations reach out to help us put food on the table and work towards stabilizing families—especially during this time of year.”
Headquartered in Marlborough, Mass., currently operates 232 clubs and 163 BJ's Gas locations in 18 states.
