BJ’s Wholesale Club will open a 55,000-square-foot BJ’s Market in Delray Beach, Fla., its second small-format club location.
BJ’s stated that the format can be located effectively between its existing full-sized clubs, as it will do in Florida. As with its bigger siblings, BJ’s Market will offer many items in smaller pack sizes than are typical for other club stores. It will stock individual salad kits and half gallons of milk, and provide shoppers with access to bulk paper goods and cleaning products, as well as multipacks of pantry staples.
“BJ’s Market offers unbeatable value on groceries combined with a smaller footprint that makes for a quick shopping experience,” said Bill Werner, BJ’s executive vice president, strategy and development. “BJ’s Market is perfect for families making a weeknight grocery run or a fast weekend trip between games and activities. Our Delray Beach location is perfectly situated between our clubs in Boynton Beach, Parkland, Royal Palm Beach and Coral Springs clubs.”
Although the Delray location will be more food– and consumables-oriented than BJ’s bigger stores, it will still cover much of the assortment available in BJ’s traditional operating format, and, of course, all club members have access to the company’s online assortment.
