What are your thoughts? We've gotten a few email's asking if we've heard any rumors that would affect the NY/NJ area, we'll keep everyone posted. But what's the feeling around the clubs?From staff reports
South Carolina's only BJ’s Wholesale Club will close today in Greenville.
The Massachusetts-based chain announced last week that it will close the store on Woodruff Road for failing to meet sales expectations, company spokeswoman Maria Fruci told The Greenville News.
BJ's operates 178 wholesale clubs in 16 states. The Greenville store opened in 2000 and employs about 60.
Fruci told the Greenville paper the company has no plans to close any additional clubs.
BJ's members in the Greenville area will receive pro-rated membership fee refunds
Here's an article regarding the development that will overtake once BJ's vacates.

It's always scary when one the places you work for closes. I think sales are down but we are still doing better than a lot of other stores. The problem is you need to have happy employees to keep members coming back. That starts at that top with management. If the mangers are not happy, the employees are not happy, which therefor makes the members unhappy. The employees need to stop talking to the members about how bad the company is. If they keep doing that people will not want to shop there any more. Mangers need to start repremending them and let them know that their behavior is unacceptable. If thay don't like their job than by all means please do us all a favor and leave. The other thing they ned to do is stop threatening to call home office. Grow up and act like adults. If everyone is so worried about their job you would think they would try to improve their attitude and how they do their job. It's the employees that screw up all the time that are ruining it for the ones who really want to work there.
ReplyDeleteNo its not the Employees, if management is not handling things like that then its a sign that they are not doing there jobs at all. Problems start at the top.
ReplyDeleteSlackers at Portsmouth's, New Hampshire Store...
ReplyDeleteI worked at the store # 062, located at 1801 Woodbury Avenue, Portsmouth, N.H. 03801, and what I can tell about the night shift staff is not really positive...
The shift used to start at midnight and finish at 8:00 A.M.
We used to have a half hour break at 2:00 A.M. and another one at 5:00 A.M.
The problem started there with the managers :
Christopher Smith, together with Jesse Foster and Frank Dubai, used to take at least 45 minutes each break, instead of half an hour !
That was a waste of time and money for the company !
And the worst fact was that they used to tell a beginner, called Nick to punch them in, so their "over break", would never be noticed.
By doing that, they were able to be for more time at the break room, watching TV, or outside the building, using drugs...
The other manager, called Bill Martino, was connive at that situation, since he always saw what took place, but never said and did anything to stop it from happening.
And when the guys from the first shift started to come, they simply pretended that everything was all right.
Unfortunately it happens at the B.J.'s Portsmouth, N.H. store and perhaps the superiors of the company do not even know about this situation...
Is it true that the Revere Mass B.J.s is one of the worst performing stores. Would they close it if they found a better location? I'm nervous because I just got hired and that is the rumor that's running. Also the land is being sold to a new owner. Did the current owner have a heads up?
