I have been a BJs member for longer than I care to think about. I shop here weekly (sometimes more…read moreoften). There are many things to appreciate - low prices on goods, high quality store brand items, friendly people who work there, great gas prices (especially with today's fuel costs) - but there are a few things that set them apart: 1) Shelves are generally well stocked 2) When I have needed to interact with customer service I have generally been met with kindness. Recently I had an issue when trying to buy a coach that I had my eye on. Manager Loyalty met with me, said that while what I was asking for wasn't normal procedure, she would take care of me. When I came back the next day they were out of stock on what I had wanted. She and another manager found an alternative for me and did a price match. I really appreciated their extra effort, the way they turned something that had been frustrating into something that made me grateful. 3) One of the biggest reasons I won't cancel my membership is that the company's stance on DEI. In a charged political climate where we have seen companies bend a knee to the administration on supporting LGBTQ rights, as well as the supporting equity, I want my dollars to follow my beliefs. It's not just a slogan, or a t-shirt, when I talk to the staff and compliment the company on this, almost always I am met with a smile. 4) They are with in City limits. Again I want my $ to go where I live. I don't have to travel to the county to do my shopping. 5) The deal with ATT for cell phones I got there saved me money over verizon. Every time I see the sales people for ATT I let them know I took advantage of the deal in this location. There's plenty of parking, it's right off the high way but also accessible through the city.

I've been to this BJ's Wholesale location several times, and it's usually the same…read moreexperience--nothing remarkable, just business as usual. That changed on my most recent visit. I came in on Thursday, January 22nd, having a really rough day and stressed about the blizzard headed toward the DMV area. I honestly expected a typical visit, which is exactly what I got... until I got to my car. As I was unloading my groceries, a young man named Christos, who was a cart puller, came up and asked if I needed help. I declined, but thanked him and told him that small gesture had already made my day. He didn't stop there--he went on to ask a few other people if they needed help as well. This is the first time I've seen an employee go the extra mile at this location, and it really stood out. Sometimes it's the smallest gestures that can completely turn your day around, and Christos did exactly that. I wanted to highlight his thoughtfulness and let others know what a difference a kind employee can make.

Oh my goodness! I finally made it to Restaurant Depot after seeing it and driving past it plenty of…read moretimes. I have been checking them out more like stalking them on their website for months now just imagining what I would purchase from them. It was Christmas Eve and I wanted to bring some oysters for Christmas dinner the next day. I checked on one of my apps and they told me that they had the best deal so I definitely went straight there when I got off of work early. I was amazed and definitely like a kid in candy store at all of the deals they had. I've seen a lot of items that I have ate or purchased from vendors right here! So much so that I purchased an item to make my own and now I have four freezer bags full that I don't know what I'm going to do with them. I wasn't formed that I probably should have called earlier in the morning to find out if they had oysters available still. How the heck was I supposed to know that? The seafood manager was really nice and gave me that tip. Do you see all the fresh seafood that they have? I was so excited just to walk around I didn't even notice how cold it was in the refrigerator or freezer section. I would definitely go back but of course I would call ahead of time just to make sure they have the item that I need.

I've been going here for years. They have a lot of options and resources. Cleaning supplies,…read morelaundry, produce, frozen and fresh, snacks, utensils, and more. You name it they pretty much have it at a reasonable price. The lines are long, but move fast, and the employees are helpful.
