BJ's Wholesale Club is expanding its footprint in Texas with Waxahachie location. "We're thrilled to bring unbeatable value and savings of up to 25% off grocery store prices every day to the families in our newest community." May 1, 2026. 1:00 PM MARLBOROUGH, Mass. - BJ's Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. will open a new membership warehouse club in Waxahachie, Texas, on May 8, marking another step in the retailer's expansion into the state. The new location, at 2180 N. U.S. Highway 77, will be accompanied by a limited-time fuel promotion as the company looks to attract new members. On May 6, the club's gas station will offer regular fuel at $2 per gallon for one day only, with a 30-gallon limit. The promotion is part of a broader push tied to BJ's Texas market entry. Prospective customers can sign up for memberships ahead of the opening, with introductory offers starting at $20 for a one-year term. The promotion also includes a 10-cent-per-gallon fuel discount for the first six months, which can be combined with the one-day gas offer. The Waxahachie club will offer BJ's core assortment, including fresh foods, produce, full-service deli items, bakery goods and general merchandise such as home décor, electronics and seasonal items. The company emphasizes a "treasure-hunt" shopping experience, a hallmark of the warehouse club format, alongside pricing it says can reach up to 25% below traditional grocery stores. "At BJ's, we take care of the families who depend on us," said Pete Giordano, club manager of the Waxahachie location. "We're thrilled to bring unbeatable value and savings of up to 25% off grocery store prices every day to the families in our newest community." In addition to retail operations, the company is positioning the new club as part of its broader community engagement strategy. BJ's said it will partner with North Texas Food Bank to donate perishable items such as produce, meat and dairy on an ongoing basis. "Through our partnership with BJ's Wholesale Club, we're able to further our mission of closing the hunger gap in North Texas by providing access to nutritious food," said Trisha Cunningham, president and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank. The company noted that it has worked with Feeding America for more than 15 years, contributing more than 165 million meals through its network of food banks. BJ's is also highlighting its omnichannel capabilities as part of the new store launch. Members will have access to curbside pickup, in-club pickup, same-day delivery and shipping via its website. In-store shoppers can use the company's ExpressPay feature within its mobile app to scan items and bypass traditional checkout lines. Additional membership benefits include a 100% money-back guarantee, the ability to combine BJ's coupons with select manufacturers' coupons, and access to discounted fuel through the BJ's Gas network and Fuel Savers Program. Headquartered in Marlborough, Massachusetts, BJ's Wholesale Club operates 264 clubs and 205 gas stations across 22 states. The company has been accelerating its geographic expansion in recent years, with Texas representing a key growth market.
Lifestyles Nearly half a million meals raised by FB Society North Texas restaurants in one month. By North Texas Food Bank Apr 7, 2026 FB Society donates $148,000 to North Texas Food Bank following the inaugural "Food Bank February" campaign Dallas, Texas - What started as a month of dining for good has delivered a major win for North Texans facing hunger. FB Society, the Dallas-based multi-brand restaurant group, today announced the results of its inaugural Food Bank February campaign, donating more than $148,000 to the North Texas Food Bank (NTFB). The campaign, which ran throughout February across 16 FB Society restaurants and Legacy Hall, translates to an estimated 446,000 meals for North Texans facing hunger. Food Bank February directed 10% of net Tuesday sales at each participating location to NTFB throughout the month. Guests also had the opportunity to add personal donations to their checks, with every dollar providing the equivalent of three meals. The campaign engaged all participating locations, mobilizing teams across the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex around a shared mission. "We're proud of what this team built in year one, and grateful to every guest who joined us in supporting North Texas Food Bank," said Jack Gibbons, CEO of FB Society. "From the beginning, this was about more than a campaign. It was about showing up for the community we call home. Hunger is a real and urgent challenge in our own backyard, and Food Bank February gave us a way to make a big impact together." Caitlin Beveridge, VP of Marketing for FB Society, Julie Brown, Director of Marketing Sixty Vines, Christine Magrann, President and COO for FB Society, Brad Leist, CFO for FB Society, Jack Gibbons, CEO for FB Society, Trisha Cunningham, President and CEO for North Texas Food Bank, and Jami Sharp, Head of PR & Communications for FB Society. More than 744,000 North Texans face food insecurity, and the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex ranks third in the nation for the number of people experiencing hunger. One in six North Texans struggles to access consistent, nutritious food - and 1 in 5 are children. NTFB distributes more than 100 million meals annually through a network of 500 food pantries and community organizations across the region. "We are thankful for corporate partners like FB Society that are bridging the gap between hunger and help in North Texas," said Trisha Cunningham, President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank. "Their collaboration and gift address the significant hunger needs in our community, including the 1 in 5 children who are facing food insecurity. We are deeply grateful for FB Society's trust and will use these funds to continue to advance our mission of a hunger-free and healthy North Texas." FB Society presented the final donation to North Texas Food Bank on March 31 at Whiskey Cake in Plano, with CEO Jack Gibbons joined by CFO Brad Leist, President and COO Christine Magrann and Sixty Vines CEO Jeff Carcara.

North Texas Food Bank invites community to "Taste! At The Star" to support children facing hunger. GlobeNewswire | North Texas Food Bank Today at 6:14am PDT Dallas, TX, April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - The North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) will host its annual Taste! At The Star fundraiser on April 17 at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys. Presented by Tyson Foods, the event will bring together food lovers and community supporters for an evening dedicated to addressing childhood hunger across North Texas. The event is co-chaired by Janet Ryan, Managing Director and Private Client Advisor at Bank of America Private Bank, and Tom Walker, Chief Financial Officer of the Dallas Cowboys. Proceeds will benefit NTFB's Nourish the Future programs, which help ensure children experiencing food insecurity have consistent access to nutritious meals that support their health and academic success. "Serving as co-chair for Taste! At The Star is a meaningful opportunity to bring our community together around a critical need," said Ryan. "When children have reliable access to nutritious food, they can focus on learning, growing, and reaching their potential. This event helps make that possible for thousands of families across North Texas." Originally known as Taste of the Cowboys, the event has evolved over the past two decades into one of the region's premier culinary fundraisers. Guests will sample signature dishes from leading local restaurants while enjoying live entertainment and exciting auction experiences, all in support of the North Texas Food Bank's mission to fight hunger. "The North Texas Food Bank does extraordinary work to support families across our region," said Walker. "Taste! At The Star gives our community the chance to enjoy an incredible evening while also helping provide vital resources for children who need them most." Texas continues to lead the nation in hunger and DFW ranks third among metroplexes for the number of people who are food insecure. Within the 12 counties served by NTFB, one in five children faces food insecurity. In total, more than 254,000 children in North Texas do not know where their next meal will come from, giving the region the fourth-highest child food insecurity rate in the country. "Our vision is a hunger-free, healthy North Texas, and ensuring children have the nutrition they need is a critical part of that work," said Trisha Cunningham, President and CEO of the North Texas Food Bank. "Funds raised through last year's event helped provide access to more than 2.5 million meals for families in need through our network of schools, food pantries, and community partners. Every ticket purchased helps us continue that impact." Over the past year, NTFB provided access to more than 41 million nutritious meals for children throughout its service area. During the 2024-2025 school year, the organization distributed more than 2.6 million meals through its School Pantry Program and nearly 720,000 meals through the Food 4 Kids backpack initiative, reaching more than 5,500 children each week through 250 schools.
