MADISON – Let’s talk turkey.
Better yet, let’s talk about a free turkey. That’s what members can earn at BJ’s Wholesale Club.
BJ’s, the chain’s lone Alabama store, began gas station operations at its Town Madison location this week. It will throw its warehouse doors open to the public Nov. 10, and for three days members can earn a free fresh or frozen turkey with a $150 transaction.
But the store promises much more value than a free bird.
“We’re thrilled to open the Madison club, our first location in Alabama,” Tommy Metheny, manager of Madison BJ’s Wholesale Club, said. “As we gear up for the holiday season, we can’t wait to bring BJ’s unbeatable value and convenience to this community.
“I want to thank both our great team for its commitment to serving our members and the community for giving us such a warm welcome.”
Meanwhile, the BJ’s Charitable Foundation supports a range of organizations and programs across the 20 states where it has locations. In Madison, BJ’s is partnering with the Food Bank of North Alabama to donate food to local families in need.
“With Thanksgiving fast approaching, we are excited to have BJ’s Wholesale Club as the newest member of the Madison community,” CEO Shirley Schofield of Food Bank of North Alabama said. “The holidays are a vital time to ensure that those in need have access to basics and our partnership with BJ’s allows us to do that.”
To date, BJ’s has partnered with Feeding America and the Feeding America network of food banks for over 15 years, providing more than 122 million meals to local families.
BJ’s is headquartered in Marlborough, Mass., and, with the addition of the Town Madison store, has 239 overall in 20 states. The new club also features a BJ’s Gas on-site, which opened Thursday, and offers extra savings through BJ’s Fuel Saver Program.
BJ’s states it “helps members save time and money by offering incredible savings and unbeatable value on everything they need in a convenient one-stop shop, including a wide assortment of fresh foods, produce, a full-service deli, household essentials, pet supplies, various exclusive offerings, and much more. The club will also delight shoppers with a treasure-hunt experience that BJ’s members know and love with a variety of seasonal favorites, home décor, fashion for the family, top trending toys, hot tech, and a selection of local products.’’
From Nov. 10-12, BJ’s members can earn a digital coupon for the free whole butterball turkey when spending $150 with one in-store or online transaction.
Local shoppers can join the club with BJ’s limited-time founding member offer available through Nov. 9. Rewards are offered for signing up for a membership. The free turkey coupon will appear in members’ digital coupon gallery beginning Nov. 14, and must be redeemed by Nov. 22, while supplies last.
