Wholesale Clubs' Expansions Spark Competition Among Brands -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Aug 20, 2025

1433 ET - Traffic to wholesale clubs is on the rise, according to a report from Placer.ai, which states that visits to Costco, BJ's Wholesale Club and Sam's Club were up 3.2%, 5% and 1.6%, respectively, in the recent quarter. As popularity among wholesale clubs has surged in recent years, companies have started expanding beyond their traditional strongholds, the report says. (Historically, Costco has dominated the West, Sam's Club has been most popular in the Midwest and South, and BJ's Wholesale Club has been more concentrated in the Northeast.) "As these chains venture beyond their historical strongholds, success will hinge on each operator's ability to adapt their proven regional strategies to new demographics while securing optimal locations before competitors," the report says.
