BJ's Wholesale Club Inc.

The increase in grocery sales from consumers during the coronavirus pandemic led BJ's Wholesale Club to set records for earnings in 2020, generating profits of $421 million, an increase of 125% from 2019.

BJ's Wholesale Club members looking to pay for large purchases such as TVs or appliances can soon turn to Citizens Bank for financing.

For a short stretch early on when the coronavirus pandemic began spreading, the American stock market took a nosedive. In almost all the time since, the stock market, including most of the largest public companies in Central Massachusetts, spent 2020 recovering — and then some.

BJ's Wholesale Club continues to be a major beneficiary of the coronavirus pandemic and the way it has reshaped the consumer industry.

BJ’s Wholesale Club, headquartered in Westborough, has announced the addition of curbside pickup while expanding its online shopping options.

While other businesses are struggling during the coronavirus economic downturn, Westborough’s BJ’s Wholesale Club is expanding with two new stores in New York.

The coronavirus pandemic has caused shoppers to stock up on food and other essentials while many are stuck working from home, are jobless or unable to go out to eat. BJ's Wholesale Club has been about as big of a beneficiary as any.

Sales at BJ's Wholesale Club doubled at one point early in the coronavirus pandemic as part of a rush of business to warehouse clubs, according to an industry tracker.

Central Massachusetts organizations making hires and promotions recently include Cornerstone Bank, Rollstone Bank & Trust, UMass Memorial Health Care and Covectra.

BJ’s Wholesale Club has announced a special shopping hour for healthcare workers and coronavirus first responders available without a club membership.
