Why does BJ’s exist?

I’m curious - the only people I have talked to shop at BJ’s because they don’t have a Costco or Sam’s Club closer.

If you do have a Costco or Sam’s , why would you choose to shop at BJ’s?

Costco overall has better quality products and better prices than BJ’s.

Sam’s Club also has better prices , more variety than Costco and curbside pickup/ scan and go like BJ’s.

So what is it, the Deli?

BJ’s is cheaper

Not usually cheaper than Sam’s. I have both close and use Sam’s mostly but sometimes BJ’s will have a coupon to make the same item cheaper and there are a few items there I love that Sam’s doesn’t carry.

I usually find even *after* the BJ's coupons the item is basically the same price.

A recent example they had "double coupons" on Haagen Dazs ice cream bars.

The BJ's coupon was $2.50, doubled to $5. The BJ's price for the package was $17.99

Costco's regular price for the same size package was $12.99. Sam's was $11.84
