BJ’s Wholesale’s Growth Blueprint

The company continued its strong growth trajectory with impressive performance metrics in fourth-quarter fiscal 2024. One of the primary drivers was membership growth, which reached an all-time high of more than 7.5 million members, with a strong renewal rate of 90%. The company has focused on enhancing its loyalty programs, offering gas discounts and free same-day deliveries for higher-tier members.

BJ saw strong engagement in its merchandising and digital initiatives, including an expanded product assortment and improved e-commerce experience, which contributed to a 26% year-over-year increase in digitally enabled comparable sales in the fiscal fourth quarter. Another critical factor was BJ's ongoing expansion strategy, with seven clubs and 12 gas stations opened in fiscal 2024, along with plans for 25-30 more locations over the next two fiscal years.

The company’s Fresh 2.0 strategy aims to increase shopping frequency and customer retention by positioning BJ's as a primary destination for groceries and fresh essentials. Alongside these efforts, BJ's investment in a new distribution center and digital enhancements further solidifies its long-term growth trajectory.
