BJ’s Membership Club to Open New Location in Charlotte, NC [giveaway]

If you have been following me for a while, you know I’m a BJ’s Blogger Ambassador, but even if I didn’t get incentives to talk about BJ’s Membership Club I would, because I’m a huge fan!

Shopping at BJ’s helps keep the household costs down for my family of seven–you can’t imagine how much my kids eat, and don’t get me started on the amount of toilet paper we go through, lol! Not only does BJ’s have great prices, but they offer monthly coupons AND accept manufacturers coupons that you can stack to save even more money. No other wholesale club does that!

This is just one of the many reasons I’m so excited that BJ’s is opening a 2nd location in the Charlotte area. You can check it out for yourself on Friday, November 13th when BJ’s hosts a Grand Opening celebration.

To celebrate the Charlotte Grand Opening, BJ’s has provided a $50 Gift of Membership for me to giveaway to one of my lucky readers. Please scroll down to the widget at the bottom of the post for your change to win!

BJ’s Membership Club will be planning a grand opening of its newest North Carolina location at 900 Metropolitan Avenue in Charlotte on Friday, November 13 at 9 am and will run throughout the weekend.

The 101,000 square-foot club offers significant savings on high-quality, leading brands of food and general merchandise.

The opening of the club is also creating about 110 new full and part-time employment positions.

The grand opening celebration, on Friday, November 13, will include food and beverage sampling, balloon artists and face painters.

Both current Members as well as the general public are invited to visit the new club where BJ’s Team Members (employees) will be available to provide information about membership and products. Shoppers will discover the growing selection of organic foods, BJ’s exclusive, high-quality Wellsley Farms and Berkley Jensen brands, fresh bakery, full-service deli, and BJ’s Optical^® Department.

“BJ’s is excited to open in Charlotte and provide area residents with a convenient shopping location that fulfills their needs for great value, quality and selection,” said Susan Prys, general manager of BJ’s Membership Club in Charlotte. “We look forward to establishing strong relationships within the community and supporting our Adopt-A-School and nonprofit partners, too.”

Community support is a core value at BJ’s, and with that in mind, the new club has partnered with Elizabeth Traditional Elementary as part of BJ’s Adopt-A-School program. The school will receive a $1,000 donation and $1,500 in school supplies to enhance educational programs and curriculum objectives.  BJ’s has also selected the following three organizations to receive support in the form of $2,500:

• Mayor’s Mentoring Alliance is a coalition of 50 mentoring organizations that work together with a primary focus on providing positive role models for young people in areas ranging from academic assistance to leadership development. BJ’s support will be used to train new mentors through the Mentoring 101 Program.
• Urban Ministry Center is an interfaith organization dedicated to bringing the community together to end homelessness, one life at a time.The $2,500 grant will cover the cost of needed supplies for the Center’s soup kitchen.
• Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina gathers and distributes food in order to address hunger through direct service programs and a network of 400 member agencies. In addition to this $2,500 grant, in September, BJ’s provided grants to Feeding America^® and 21 member food banks totaling $600,000. Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina was one of the recipients of a $23,500 grant to help capacity building, food safety training and transportation costs for its local agencies, shelters, food pantries and other feeding programs. Furthermore, this Club will be the fourth location partnering with Second Harvest Food Bank of Metrolina for BJ’s Feeding Communities Program, which ensures that unsold food from BJ’s Clubs is safely processed and donated to local food banks. To date, BJ’s Clubs have contributed perishable food totaling more than 30 million pounds, which is the equivalent of nearly 28 million meals*.

With a focus on serving individual consumers and families, BJ’s places greater emphasis on fulfilling consumer demands for value, selection, brands and convenience:

• Value and Savings – BJ’s accepts all manufacturers’ coupons — including the ones that come in the Sunday newspaper — providing more savings on top of BJ’s everyday low prices. BJ’s Members-only coupons are offered monthly as well.
• Variety and Selection – With more than 7,500 products, BJ’s features the largest assortment of food and merchandise in the warehouse club industry. BJ’s offers products in every category as well as fresh produce, USDA Choice meats and an expanding number of certified organic foods.
• Quality and Brands – BJ’s provides high-quality products and top selling national brands including two exclusive product lines, Wellsley Farms and Berkley Jensen, which are all backed by BJ’s 100% money-back guarantee.
• The Most Payment Options – For added convenience, BJ’s offers the most payment options of any wholesale club. In addition to cash, checks and debit cards, Members can use their Visa, BJ’s Visa^®, MasterCard, American Express or Discover/NOVUS credit cards, Apple Pay and EBT to make purchases.

The Charlotte Club is open Monday through Saturday 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Sunday, 9 a.m. – 7 p.m.
