BJ's Wholesale Club eyes Grove City for third Columbus-area store. Posted: Sep 28, 2026 / 10:30 AM EDT Updated: Sep 28, 2026 / 11:35 AM EDT GROVE CITY, Ohio (WCMH) - BJ's Wholesale Club is seeking to open its third central Ohio store, proposing a more than 100,000-square-foot membership warehouse and gas station on Stringtown Road in Grove City. An application submitted to the city's development department earlier this month requests preliminary approval for a 104,470-square-foot club on roughly 18 acres at 1209-1213 Stringtown Road. The site is south of Stringtown Road between Buckeye Parkway and Jackson Pike, also known as State Route 104. Plans include a members-only gas station with 18 fueling positions and a roughly 400-square-foot kiosk. Plans also reserve roughly 1.2 acres near Stringtown Road for a possible retail or restaurant building with a drive-thru or pickup window, according to the project narrative. The narrative does not identify a tenant and describes the outparcel as a potential component of the development. See the latest NBC4 headlines in the video player above. The preliminary site plan shows 422 parking spaces and as many as three access points. The proposed configuration includes one full-service entrance and one restricted to right turns in and out along Stringtown Road, plus another right-in, right-out entrance along Jackson Pike. The application also calls for pedestrian and bicycle connections along both roads. A traffic study will examine the need for turn lanes and evaluate how the development would affect nearby intersections, including Stringtown Road at Jackson Pike and Jackson Pike at White Road. The application seeks planned-unit commercial zoning for land currently split between industrial zoning in Grove City and suburban residential zoning in Jackson Township. Grove City Council would need to approve the requested zoning and preliminary development plan, before the project could proceed The filings do not provide a construction schedule or anticipated opening date.

A second regional location opened in Lewis Center in 2023. BJ's is also building a more than 500,000-square-foot distribution center in Commercial Point, which the company expects to open in early 2027. The facility will replenish ambient-temperature groceries and general merchandise throughout the company's network. Its 125-acre site also provides room for future expansion.
BJ's Wholesale Club opens massive new store in Alabama with $40 membership deal. September 24, 2026 BJ's Wholesale Club is pushing deeper into the Southeast with a 106,370-square-foot warehouse and gas station in Foley, Alabama, complete with a limited-time $40 annual membership that undercuts its bigger rivals on price. The warehouse club chain announced the opening for September 25 at 3275 Palm Beach Way in Foley, a growing city along Alabama's Gulf Coast. The new location will carry the full BJ's lineup, groceries, produce, meat, dairy, stationery, TVs, tires, alongside a fuel station for members looking to save at the pump. For shoppers weighing the warehouse club math, the introductory numbers are straightforward: $40 gets a full year of membership, and during the first 90 days after opening, members earn $10 back for every $100 spent in the store. That cash-back offer alone could pay for the membership several times over for families stocking up on bulk essentials. Foley fits a broader push into discount retail territory. The Foley warehouse is the latest move in BJ's effort to grow its footprint beyond its traditional Northeast base. The chain has been scouting locations across the South and Midwest, including a planned 104,000-square-foot warehouse in Grove City, Ohio, signaling that BJ's sees room to compete in markets Costco and Sam's Club have long dominated. Ali Maria, the club manager for the new Foley store, framed the opening around value for local families: "We're excited to bring unbeatable value and convenience to the families of Foley and are honored to be part of the community." BJ's is betting that convenience will matter as much as price. The Foley location will offer curbside pickup, in-club pickup, same-day delivery, and a mobile app that lets members skip the checkout line, features that mirror the digital investments warehouse rivals like Sam's Club and Costco have been racing to improve. Warehouse clubs keep expanding while other retailers pull back. BJ's Alabama push comes as the broader warehouse and discount retail sector continues to defy predictions of a brick-and-mortar slowdown. Discount retailers have been expanding by the hundreds across the country, opening new locations in small and mid-sized cities where consumers feel the squeeze of inflation most acutely. Costco, BJ's biggest competitor, has pursued its own aggressive growth strategy. The Kirkland-brand giant opened seven new warehouses across six states in a single month last year, and it has expanded into delivery partnerships to reach customers who prefer not to navigate a 150,000-square-foot store in person. BJ's pitch in Foley is simple: a slightly smaller box, a lower membership fee, and the same bulk-buying logic that has made warehouse clubs a staple for budget-conscious families. Whether BJ's can take meaningful share from Costco and Sam's Club in the Deep South remains an open question, but the company is clearly willing to spend on real estate to find out. Food bank partnership adds a local dimension. Alongside the retail play, BJ's announced a partnership with Feeding the Gulf Coast, a regional food bank, at the Foley location. The store will provide regular donations of produce, meat, dairy, and other products to the organization. Michael Ledger, president and CEO of Feeding the Gulf Coast, said the partnership builds on an existing relationship with BJ's in the region: "We're thrilled to partner with BJ's Wholesale Club in Foley and continue our meaningful partnership in the region. Their support and contributions are instrumental in helping create access to nutritious food and resources for those in need." Feeding the Gulf Coast operates as part of the Feeding America network. BJ's says it has provided 165 million meals through its work with Feeding America, though the company did not specify whether that figure represents a cumulative total or covers a defined time period. Costco has similarly expanded its community and logistics footprint, recently partnering with DoorDash and Uber Eats for nationwide bulk delivery, a sign that warehouse clubs are competing not just on price and selection but on how quickly they can get products to the door. For families in Foley and along the Gulf Coast, the arrival of a warehouse club with a $40 entry point and a gas station is a straightforward win. Competition among retailers is one of the few forces that reliably works in the consumer's favor, and the more of it, the better. Capital digest.
