If you made it over to the new BJ’s Wholesale Club in Madison Friday, you likely saw just how much of an impact the new store has on folks here in the area — there were hundreds of cars in the parking lot and the place was absolutely buzzing.

The much-anticipated opening was met with tremendous fanfare and reception, and memberships for the new wholesale market reached into the hundreds on the store’s first day.

The Madison location is BJ’s first store in Alabama, and the Massachusetts-based company’s 20th state in which to open a store. The store, located at 165 Graphics Drive, Madison, AL 35758 started accepting new members a few months ago and opened at 8AM Friday.

BJ’s is open Monday-Saturday from 8AM to 9PM, and Sunday from 8AM to 8PM. The new store offers groceries, electronics, wine and spirits, clothing, sundries, household items, kitchenware and more. As well, BJ’s members get discounted gasoline, which in today’s economy is quite a perk.

“We’re thrilled to open the Madison club, our first location in Alabama. As we gear up for the holiday season, we can’t wait to bring BJ’s unbeatable value and convenience to this community. I want to thank both our great team for its commitment to serving our members and the community for giving us such a warm welcome.”

Tommy Metheny, club manager, Madison BJ’s Wholesale Club

From November 10 through November 12, BJ’s members will be eligible to receive a digital coupon for a free fresh or frozen Butterball whole turkey when they spend $150 in the same transaction, in-club or online.
