BJ's Wholesale Club

BJ's Wholesale Club is a chain of membership-only warehouses similar to Costco and Sam's Club. However, this organization operates exclusively on the East Coast of the United States and in Ohio. This is definitely one of the competitors with Costco and Sam's Club and one of the top five warehouse membership organizations in the country by revenue. As of 2009, the company employed over 25,500 people. Employment opportunities at BJ's Wholesale Club include cashier jobs, food court attendants, frontline workers, produce clerks, member services team, tire sales and installation, maintenance, bakers, deli clerks, meat clerks, and more.

BJ's started as a Massachusetts department store chain called Zayre that began in 1984. The name BJ stands for the first two initials of the first and middle names of Beverly Jean Weich, who was the daughter of the president of Zayre. He resigned in 1987, replaced by John Levy, but the organization kept the name. It has since undergone some transition, and BJ's was acquired by two private equity firms in 2011: CVC Capital Partners and Leonard Green & Partners. In 2018, the company became publicly traded once again. The store markets a number of products under their own private labels and sells consumer goods and groceries in bulk at a discount.

As of 2017, there were more than 200 BJ's clubs in 16 states. You can find them in New Hampshire, Delaware, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maryland, Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Ohio. For the 2017 fiscal year, the chain reported revenue of $12 billion with net income of S95 million and revenue per share of $139.74.
