BJ’s announces Ohio distribution center to accommodate growth
BJ’s Wholesale Club is building a new distribution center to be located in Commercial Point, OH. The new facility, expected to open in early 2027, will join eight BJ’s clubs in Ohio.
The company’s new distribution center will expand its supply chain capacity to support its growing footprint. Over the past five years, the company has opened more than 30 clubs — its 250th club in Louisville, KY, opened Jan. 31.
BJ’s has also increased membership by over 35 percent in the same period, reaching 7.5 million members. The new facility will support ongoing expansion, allowing BJ’s to continue to deliver unbeatable value, convenience and assortment for its members.
“Our business has grown meaningfully over the years, and we continue to invest in our supply chain to better serve members,” said Krystyna Kostka, senior vice president, chief supply chain officer at BJ’s Wholesale Club. “With the opening of this new distribution center, we’ll have the agility to support our clubs more efficiently than ever.”
The more than 500,000-square-foot facility in Commercial Point will feature a future-ready solution from Swisslog, a leading provider of warehouse automation and software. This will include automated pallet storage, case-handling equipment and mixed-case pallet building for club-friendly replenishment.
