It offers most of the same perks as Costco and Sam's Club, with a few unique offerings, as well. Like Costco and Sam's Club, BJ's Wholesale Club is a great place to buy groceries in bulk. But we also like that BJ's carries many items in smaller supermarket sizes, too.

BJ's Warehouse

In-store shopping: Membership is not required to enter the warehouse. You can walk all around looking at the big-screen TVs and beauty-school-sized shampoos, but you can't buy any of them without a card.

The Club Card (Personal) Membership. The Club Card Membership provides one primary membership card and a household card, included at no additional charge, that may be issued to a member of the primary member's household. Up to three (3) additional supplemental memberships may be purchased.

BJ's stores are similarly owned by BJ's Corporation and is traded on the NYSE under symbol BJ. So, neither companies are owned by another big box chain.

Membership at BJ's Wholesale is less expensive than at Costco. They also offer two membership tiers. Club Level starts out at $55/year and Club+ starts out at $110 per year.

While a lot of people think the "BJ" in BJ's Wholesale Club stands for Berkley Jensen, one of its own brand lines, that isn't true, Byrnes said. Rather, the company's initials honor Beverly Jean, the daughter of company founder Mervyn Weich. The chain, headquartered in Massachusetts, opened in 1984.

An AARP study from October 2023 agreed: Sam's Club lets shoppers save the most when buying in bulk, compared to Costco and BJ's. The downside: Sam's doesn't have the premium brands Costco often carries, they wrote.

The food court

On the other hand, BJ's doesn't have a food court. Instead, the wholesale club partnered with Dunkin' Donuts back in 2016, replacing many of its in-store food courts with Dunkin' kiosks. Good if you need a quick caffeine fix, not so good if you're craving a frankfurter.
