BJ’s Wholesale Club announced the launch of Texas operations with the Forney club’s grand opening set for Friday, April 24. To celebrate the milestone, the new BJ’s Gas location, at 11150 E US Highway 80 in Forney, will offer members gas at $2 per gallon for one day only on Wednesday, April 22.
“BJ’s Wholesale Club has been delivering unbeatable value and convenience to members for over 40 years,” said Bob Eddy, Chairman and CEO, BJ’s Wholesale Club. “Launching our Texas operations is a milestone for our company, and we know our model of saving up to 25% off grocery store prices every day will resonate with families in Forney and across the Dallas-Fort Worth area. We’re energized by the enthusiasm we’ve seen in the community and are eager to welcome families to BJ’s.”
The Forney location will be BJ’s 264th club and 202nd gas station. The company plans to open three more Texas clubs --- in Waxahachie, Southwest Fort Worth and Grand Prairie, in the coming weeks.
BJ’s is committed to nourishing the communities it serves and is driven by a powerful purpose: “We take care of the families who depend on us.” For over 15 years, the company has worked with Feeding America and its network of food banks, providing more than 165 million meals for those in need.
Locally, BJ’s is supporting Forney Food Pantry with a $25,000 grant to further support access, storage and distribution of nutritious food and hygiene supplies.
“We’re thrilled to welcome BJ’s Wholesale Club to Forney, and as a partner in alleviating hunger and nourishing hope,” said Natalie McAlanis, Forney Food Pantry Director. “The funds from this generous grant will be invaluable as we continue to work towards a community where no one goes hungry.”
