BJ's Wholesale Club

This place is amazing. Everything you would expect from a big box store. Alot more selections than Sams and Costco.International Cheese Section!Shout out to Sherri is the liquor store. She made me feel like I was talking to an old friend as opposed to someone who is trying to rush you out the door.Yes, you need a membership here, as you do most bulk big box stores *rolls eyes*

I'm a big fan of wholesale clubs. We have a membership to Costco and Sam's Club. I've been to BJ's in Delaware and in Orlando because my aunts have memberships in these locations. We just got our first location here in Louisville. I actually really appreciated that for healthcare workers, first responders, veterans, teachers, government employees, and college students BJ's has special membership prices. I was able to get a membership for $25. This was for a year. It also came with a $10 reward because of the new store opening. We finally got to go today for the first time. It was really nice. We went to the gas station first and the gas station is marked to enter one way. The pumps have long hoses so it doesn't matter what side you pull up to. The parking lot was easy to navigate and not chaotic. BJ's opens into a very bright and airy space. The front of the store has customer service, quick snacks, and an eyeglass store. When you enter, you are in the technology section and you get to see all the TVs and devices. There's a lot of office supplies. Just like the other big box stores you have a variety of home items, cleaning items, food, and over-the-counter supplements available. Compared to the other big box stores there were a lot of brands and products here that I've never seen before. I was really impressed with the options when it came to tortillas. There was also a great spread for bakery items. I was very impressed with the cheese area. There was international cheese. There were appetizers and snack cheese. The vegetable prices were great as well. I picked up sugar snap peas, which were delicious with fresh hummus. they had a nice variety of spices and name brands when it came to baking products. I was very excited about the Funfetti baking mix. When it came to soap and toothpaste, there were options available here that I have never seen anywhere else. The app was very helpful during the shopping trip because they have coupons that you can add to your card. Ended up saving over $40 in the coupons. The self check out is very sensitive so be mindful if you use it. The process was easy. After we went to the liquor store and met Sherri. She was a great resource. I really appreciated this wholesaler and the ambiance of the store. It was a great experience and it'll be part of our rotation.

I'm happy that the part of town this is located is being more developed. I had not heard of this place before and so I stopped by and they allowed me to come in and explore the store. It's a bulk store, and I already have a membership with SAMs club. I tasted the hot dog and colossal cookie. Pricing was good but the taste was not. The cafe only served these two items and popcorn and pretzel. Nothing looked appetizing. I did enjoy their freestyle machine, as I don't like the Pepsi products provided at Sam's club. I did find a couple items in the store and when I went to checkout my two items they would not allow me to check out without a membership. I found that to be odd as they let me enter to explore the store but never said I couldn't purchase anything. If they were trying to win me over as a new member, they lost me there. I quickly left, as the worker said she had no problem reshelfing my two items. It is an OK place but definitely no Sams club.
