BJ's Wholesale to Open First Tennessee Location
BJ’s Wholesale Club continues its westward expansion with the upcoming opening of its first location in Tennessee.
With the grand opening set for June 14, the new store will be located in La Vergne, some 20 miles outside of downtown Nashville at 543 Industrial Boulevard. When open, this will be BJ’s 238 club and expand the retailer’s presence to 19 states.
The new club has a BJ's Gas location on-site and will open June 2 offering regular, premium and diesel fuels.
“We can’t wait to open our doors to the La Vergne community at BJ’s brand-new club,” said Christopher Kelly, club manager of La Vergne’s BJ’s Wholesale Club. “We’re thrilled to be a part of this momentous occasion as BJ’s Wholesale Club expands into the state of Tennessee, bringing the unbeatable value and incredible savings to our newest members in Rutherford County.”
At BJ’s, members can choose from a variety of shopping options including in-club shopping, curbside pickup, in-club pickup, same-day delivery and standard delivery from BJs.com. When shopping in-club, members will have access to ExpressPay through the BJ’s mobile app, a service that allows shoppers to scan products as they go and avoid the checkout line at the end of each trip.
The store will offer a product assortment that includes a vast selection of fresh foods, produce, a full-service deli, household essentials, pet supplies, home decor, apparel, toys, tech products, and various exclusive offerings.
As part of the grand opening celebration, BJ’s Charitable Foundation will support the local community through its partnership with the Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee, a program that raises awareness of hunger within the community and provides healthy meals to youth who are facing food insecurity.
“We are grateful for the support from BJ’s Wholesale Club,” said Nancy Keil, President and CEO of Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee. “As we enter the summer months, many children, who rely on schools for healthy and nutritious meals, may lose access to these services. Food insecurity is a real concern to children and families in Middle and West Tennessee, and the generosity of BJ’s Wholesale Club will help us feed thousands of children who otherwise would not receive essential meals this summer.”
In addition, BJ’s Wholesale Club is partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of Middle Tennessee through its Feeding Communities program. The program is a year-round food rescue partnership where the company donates unsold food to Feeding America member food banks in its footprint, helping to provide wholesome food to local families in need.
