BJ’s Wholesale Club Expands to North Texas
A Massachusetts-based retailer competing with the likes of Costco is announcing yet another site for North Texas. BJ’s Wholesale Club is planning to open a store in Mesquite, according to a company statement, adding a spot to the city that’s east of Dallas. Already, the company is preparing four other regional sites, including Forney, Fort Worth, Grand Prairie and Waxahachie. It also said it was adding a second retail spot in Alabama.
Expansion Plans
“Our momentum remains strong,” said Bill Werner, executive vice president of strategy and development at BJ’s, in the 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 is investing in new stores as it looks to broaden its real estate footprint to reach more potential customers — and push against rival retailers. The company, which lists clubs that include the Northeast, the Midwest and the South, has announced plans to open 25 to 30 stores in its 2025 and 2026 fiscal years.
