BJ’s Wholesale Club Announces Ohio Distribution Center

BJ’s Wholesale Club announced that it is building its fourth ambient distribution center, to be located in Commercial Point, Ohio. The new facility, expected to open in early 2027, will join eight BJ’s clubs in Ohio.

The company’s new distribution center will expand its supply chain capacity to support its growing footprint. Over the past five years, the company has opened more than 30 clubs – its 250th club in Louisville, Kentucky, will open on January 31st.

BJ’s has also increased membership by over 35 percent in the same period, reaching 7.5 million members. The new facility will support ongoing expansion, allowing BJ’s to continue to deliver unbeatable value, convenience and assortment for its members.

The more than 500,000-square-foot facility in Commercial Point will feature a future-ready solution from Swisslog, a leading provider of warehouse automation, robotics and software. This will include automated pallet storage, robotics, case-handling equipment and mixed-case pallet building for club-friendly replenishment.

The new distribution center in Commercial Point will serve as a hub to replenish ambient-temperature grocery and general merchandise items in the BJ’s network. The building will sit on a 125-acre site, allowing for future expansion. VanTrust Real Estate, which has developed over 11.8 million square feet in Ohio since 2014, is managing the development with its Columbus-based team.
