BJ's Wholesale competes with WalMart but is it a Blue Company?

[populistdriven]

They are opening a couple stores in my area (one next to a WalMart and one next to a Sams Club) so I checked them out ... but found no information?!

http://www.buyblue.org/ has minimal information and the corporate officers have no records on http://www.fundrace.org

Anyone with information on them?

what I have:


"Exclusive membership" has never been as common as it is at BJ's Wholesale Club. The company is the nation's #3 membership warehouse club (behind leaders Costco and SAM'S CLUB) and #1 in New England, with nearly 8 million members and about 150 locations in 16 states, mostly in the Northeast. BJ's stores sell some 6,500 products, including canned, fresh, and frozen foods (food accounts for about 55% of sales). It also sells general merchandise, including apparel, housewares, office equipment, small appliances, and gas. Unlike its major rivals, BJ's targets individual retail customers -- who account for 75% of its members-- rather than small businesses. About 50% of BJ's stores now sell discounted gas to members."

1. I'm going to be switching from Sam's Club

Where I live there's two of them less than a mile from each other. After seeing their "right wing bookstore" I decided to switch...
