BJ's Wholesale To Open New Florida Store
BJ’s Wholesale Club will open its 245th store on September 20 in Palm Coast, Fla. Located at 5857 State Route 100 in Flagler County, the retailer’s 38th Sunshine State location will be part of the new Cornerstone at Seminole Woods retail center.
BJ’s members will have access to savings on fresh foods, produce, full-service deli items, fresh bakery goods, household essentials, home décor and pet supplies. Also, the club’s gas station is now open.
“We are ready to save our newest members up to 25% off grocery store prices every day,” said Aaron Meldofsky, club manager, Palm Coast BJ’s Wholesale Club. “We’re looking forward to taking care of families who depend on us in our community.”
BJ’s has a longstanding commitment to nourishing its communities and is partnering with Feeding Northeast Florida, a food bank serving the Palm Coast community. Once the club is open, BJ’s will donate unsold produce, meat, dairy and more to the food bank every week to support families in need.
“Our continued partnership with BJ’s Wholesale Club will help to provide even more nourishment to families in our surrounding communities,” said Susan King, president and CEO of Feeding Northeast Florida. “Through BJ’s donation program, we will be able to support more families and help fulfill their basic needs.”
The new store opening following a solid second quarter in which BJ’s Wholesale officials reported net sales increased 4.8% to $5.1 billion. The gains were driven by accelerating traffic and unit growth.
Additionally, officials with BJ’s Wholesale said the retailer remains on track to reach its own brand sales penetration rate of 30% as consumers respond positively to its growing private label assortment.
