BJ’s Wholesale Club is planning to open nine new U.S. stores in 2026, and already debuted a new location on December 17 in Casselberry, Florida—its third in December alone, following openings in Springfield, Massachusetts, and Sumter, South Carolina.
BJ’s currently has more than 250 clubs in 20-plus states. In 2025, the membership-based warehouse chain added 12 new locations in a number of states, including Georgia, Kentucky, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
“Our momentum remains strong as we continue to bring unbeatable value and convenience to new communities,” Bill Werner, BJ’s Wholesale Club’s EVP of strategy and development, told Fast Company in a statement. “We’re on track to open our first clubs in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 2026 and look forward to bringing BJ’s Wholesale Club to even more families in 2026 and beyond.”
BJ’s confirmed to Fast Company that it will open clubs in the following locations in 2026:
- Selma, North Carolina
- Delray Beach, Florida
- Chattanooga, Tennessee
- Forney, Texas
- Waxahachie, Texas
- Grand Prairie, Texas

How does BJ’s work?

Members pay an annual fee, and can shop online or in-store.
