BJ’s Wholesale Club announced the opening of its second BJ’s Market on January 27, 2026. The new store, located at 14595 South Military Trail in Delray Beach, Florida, will occupy 55,000 square feet and is slated to open on January 30. The market will focus on essential fresh foods, produce, sundries, and seasonal products, offering members a convenient, grocery‑first shopping experience that complements the company’s traditional warehouse‑club format.
The move reflects BJ’s broader strategy to diversify its retail footprint and deepen its grocery‑first positioning. By adding a smaller, more accessible format, BJ’s aims to attract new members and increase visit frequency among existing members, especially in the highly competitive South Florida market. The Delray Beach location is expected to drive membership growth and reinforce BJ’s as a weekly grocery destination, aligning with the company’s goal of expanding its footprint at pace to serve more members.
Competition in the region is intense, with established players such as Costco, Sam’s Club, and traditional supermarkets vying for grocery shoppers. The BJ’s Market format offers a differentiated experience that emphasizes fresh produce and everyday essentials, positioning BJ’s to capture customers who prioritize convenience and value. The new store also supports BJ’s digital initiatives, allowing members to use the company’s mobile app for online ordering and pickup, thereby creating a seamless omnichannel experience.
Bob Eddy, BJ’s CEO, said the company “continues to perform well in a volatile environment and we are maintaining an unwavering focus on what matters most: taking care of families who depend on us.” He added that “our improved assortment, investments in value and significant growth in digital sales drove our 12th consecutive quarter of traffic growth. We are also growing our footprint at pace to serve even more members.” These comments underscore BJ’s confidence that the new market will strengthen member engagement and support long‑term cash‑flow generation.
The Delray Beach opening is a tangible step in BJ’s expansion plan, illustrating the company’s commitment to delivering a convenient, grocery‑centric experience while leveraging digital tools to enhance member convenience. The new format is expected to contribute to membership retention, foot traffic, and overall profitability, reinforcing BJ’s position as a leading value‑focused retailer in the region.
