BJ’s Wholesale Club today announced its next growth initiative, with new store openings slated for Kentucky, Florida and Indiana later in its fiscal year.
The new clubs are part of the company’s ongoing strategic plan to open 25 t0 30 new clubs every two years. BJ’s intends to open 12 new clubs in fiscal 2026 inclusive of the company’s recent launch in Texas, where four locations are operating in the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The new clubs BJ’s announced will open their doors to consumers in Frankfort, KY, Portage, IN, and Ocala, Lecanto and Port St. Lucie, FL, the company noted. The latest expansion strengthens BJ’s presence in Florida to 46 clubs and extends BJ’s footprint in the recently launched Kentucky and Indiana markets.
“We are committed to growing our footprint in both new and existing markets to bring the value of a BJ’s Wholesale Club to even more members,” said Bill Werner, BJ’s executive vice president, strategy and development. “Coming off the strong results of our 2025 openings, the team is excited to execute on our 2026 class, deliver value and take care of the families who depend on us in these communities.”
BJ’s currently operates 267 wholesale clubs and 205 BJ’s gas stations in 22 states.
