Joining other big-box retailers in limiting store traffic, BJ’s Wholesale Club will limit in-store traffic to 20 per cent of capacity.
BJ’s Wholesale Club is also implementing additional measures to support the health and safety of customers and employees during the current pandemic.
Starting 4 April, the retailer will limit the number of members allowed inside its clubs at any one time based on the square footage of each club. No more than 20 per cent of a store’s total capacity will be allowed in the building at any given time. Also, when possible, all members are encouraged to send only one person per household to shop.
BJ’s also has implemented new operational processes to encourage social distancing in-store, including: posting instructional signage throughout every club; dedicating employees to ensure members wait in line at an appropriate distance while checking out; and making overhead audio announcements.
