June same-store sales at Natick-based BJ’s Wholesale Club were up 5.3 percent over the same period last year, the company reported.
A 1.4 percent bump from the sale of gasoline helped the sales growth while a 0.4 percent drop due to the absence of pharmacies at BJ’s club stores held it back, the company said.
Overall June sales for the membership-based shopping club were $886.8 million, a 9.8 percent increase over June of 2006.
The company said it sold a lot of snacks and televisions in June. The company runs 174 club stores in 16 states.
