May 22, 2026 MARLBOROUGH, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–BJ’s Wholesale Club BB #:162875 today announced its next wave of new club growth with locations in Kentucky, Florida and Indiana set to open this fiscal year.

The new clubs will be located in:

  • Frankfort, Kentucky
  • Ocala, Florida

This expansion strengthens BJ’s presence in the Florida market up to 46 clubs and grows BJ’s footprint in the recently launched Kentucky and Indiana markets.

With the announcement of these locations, BJ’s plans to open a total of 12 new clubs in the 2026 fiscal year, inclusive of BJ’s recent successful launch in Texas with four locations in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
