BJ's Wholesale Club Expands In Florida

BJ’s Wholesale Club is giving residents of St. Johns, Fla., an early holiday gift as the retailer is opening a new club on December 20.

Located at 115 Beachwalk Blvd. in the Beachwalk East Shopping Center, the store is BJ’s 40th location in the Sunshine State and 248th store overall. It will feature an on-site BJ’s Gas station along with the usual assortment of fresh foods, produce, full-service deli items, fresh bakery goods, household essentials, home décor, pet supplies, toys, tech, and more found in store.

“We’re eager to bring our unbeatable value and convenience to St. Johns and the surrounding communities,” said Stephen Wolters, club manager of St. Johns BJ’s Wholesale Club. “BJ’s members save up to 25% off grocery store prices every day. We also look forward to being an active member of the community, making a positive difference as we take care of the families who depend on us.”

In the St. Johns community, BJ’s is partnering with Feeding Northeast Florida by donating unsold produce, meat, dairy, and more every week. Additionally, BJ’s Charitable Foundation is granting $15,000 to Feeding Northeast Florida to purchase new refrigeration units for two food pantries in St. Johns: Epic Cure and The Simon’s House. Funding will also support the St. Johns County School District SnackPacks Program, getting healthy meals into the hands of children who need them – and helping to alleviate the increasing demands of the much-needed program. 

“We’re grateful to BJ’s Wholesale Club for its ongoing support,” said Susan King, president and CEO of Feeding Northeast Florida. “Through our partnership, we’re able to continue our mission of addressing hunger in our community.”
