BJ's Is Coming To Wayne: Long-Anticipated Store, Gas Station On The Way

WAYNE, NJ — After two years of talks, BJ's Wholesale Club is on its way to Wayne. The upcoming opening is part of the company's 2022 development plans, the company announced Monday.

A company spokesperson said they didn't have an opening date yet, but BJ's expects to open in the township later this year.

BJ's applied in 2020 to open a 105,031-square-foot warehouse store and gas station at the Willowbrook Mall. New Jersey has 23 BJ's locations, but none are in Passaic County — the nearest to Wayne are in Riverdale, Paramus and East Rutherford.

The Wayne store will feature "an extensive selection of fresh foods, a full-service deli and household essentials like paper products, cleaning products, diapers, pet supplies and more," according to BJ's. The location will also feature a gas station.

BJ's requires a membership to shop inside its stores or online. But non-members can get a one-day pass to make purchases. Each member can also bring two guests, but the guests don't have purchasing privileges.

Non-members can use BJ's gas stations, but they won't receive membership discounts.

BJ's expects the store to bring in about 150 jobs. Anyone interested in working at BJ's can visit the company's career page.
