BJ’s Wholesale Club Returns to Its Massachusetts Roots
BJ’s Massachusetts Comeback Brings New Store to Springfield
BJ’s Wholesale Club is making a bold return to its home state with a long-awaited BJ’s Massachusetts comeback.
For the first time in over ten years, the retailer will open a new location in Springfield, Massachusetts. This exciting news adds momentum to BJ’s aggressive expansion plans nationwide.
New Store, New Opportunities for Massachusetts
The Marlborough-based company already operates 25 clubs across Massachusetts. The Springfield store will mark a significant milestone in BJ’s local growth.
Moreover, the new location is expected to generate 100 to 150 jobs, offering economic benefits to the Springfield community.
BJ’s has ambitious national plans as well. The retailer intends to open 25 to 30 new stores over the next two fiscal years. Several of these will launch in Texas, further expanding BJ’s footprint.
BJ’s Expansion Already in Full Swing
The BJ’s Massachusetts comeback follows a strong first quarter for the company. BJ’s opened five new clubs already this year, including its first-ever location in Staten Island, New York.
The company credits much of its success to its grocery, perishables, and sundries division. In the first quarter alone, those categories delivered more than 4% comparable sales growth.
Strong Financial Results Support Growth
BJ’s recent financial performance shows why expansion remains a top priority. Here are the key highlights:
- Comparable club sales (excluding gasoline) grew 3.9% year-over-year
- Total net sales rose 4.7%, surpassing $5 billion
- Total revenue climbed 4.8%
- Net income jumped 34.9% compared to the previous year
- Gross profit increased to $969.5 million, up from $883.4 million in 2024
The company also achieved its 13th consecutive quarter of traffic growth, highlighting strong consumer demand.
Conclusion
The BJ’s Massachusetts comeback signals confidence in the brand’s hometown market. With new jobs and expanded offerings, Springfield shoppers have much to look forward to.
