Default New BJ's in The Villages's

Coming soon to our neighborhood a new BJ's Wholesale. ( A division of Walmart similar to Costco). Will be next to Lowe's on 441 behind the WAWA Gas station.
Had one in Pompano and it was competition for Costco. Will certainly beat Sam's.

BJ's is not part of Walmart. Sam's is part of Walmart.

BJ's is a spinoff of the original Zayre's and Ames department stores.

Ouch! Hope it has a better future than they had.

Will we be able to use our golf cart to get to this new warehouse/store?

Got a guest pass for 90 days when we first moved here to the one in Orlando. Singularly unimpressed. Totally disorganized with a very poor selection compared to COSTCO and even Sam's. Don't get too excited.

The one we visited somewhere in Orlando area had a very nice deli counter and seem well organized with nice selections.

We love BJs, big in New England. Owned by the people that own Marshall’s, TJ Maxx and Homegoods. It will be great to have and to get there by golf cart is even better.

Good luck getting that 60 roll pack of TP and 70 inch TV on top of your cart.

Not a problem as the seat folds down. Made it home with 4 Adirondack rocking chairs and 2 tables on the back that we bought at Lowe’s.

All the major retail construction is going on in The Villages north of 44. Says a lot about the future of the new sections. We will give BJ a try.
