BJ’s Wholesale Club is keeping up its expansion march despite recently losing two board members to other retailers.
The company will open clubs in Davenport, FL and McDonough, GA, later this month. BJ’s will add its first Tennessee location in La Vergne, in metropolitan Nashville. The La Vergne club will open in the first half of this year, BJ’s stated.
“Our club openings in Davenport and McDonough are part of our continued growth within the Orlando and Atlanta markets, respectively,” said Bill Werner, BJ’s executive vp, strategy and development, in announcing the expansion plans. “Additionally, the opening of our club in La Vergne represents the first of what will be multiple locations in the greater Nashville market. We can’t wait to welcome our newest BJ’s members this year and help provide these local communities with unbeatable value and incredible savings.”
BJ’s board member Judy Werthauser resigned her board membership when she became Walmart’s executive vp and chief people officer. Tom Kingsbury resigned his BJ’s board membership after being named Kohl’s Corp. CEO.
