BJ's continues to profit, was just sold, we're wondering if people throughout the country who are working for them are sharing in their successes? The industry seems recession proof...Here's the AP story on their "better-than-expected" profits, again....
(Reuters) - BJ's Wholesale Club Inc (BJ.N) posted a much better-than-expected quarterly profit on Wednesday, helped by improved margins, gasoline sales and cost-cutting.
The company, which is being sold to private equity firms Leonard Green & Partners and CVC Capital Partners CVC.UL, earned $45.7 million, or 84 cents per share, in the second quarter, up from $35.8 million, or 67 cents per share, a year earlier. It had forecast a profit of $40.5 million to $42.5 million, or 74 cents to 78 cents per share.
Earnings from continuing operations were 85 cents per share, topping analysts' average forecast of 77 cents, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
As previously reported, sales rose 11 percent to $2.98 billion. Sales at stores open at least a year rose 7.8 percent and were up 3.8 percent excluding gasoline sales.
Visits to BJ's stores were essentially flat, while the average amount spent per transaction rose by about 3 percent.
Food sales rose about 5 percent. BJ's has been adding more fresh foods and prepared meals to entice shoppers to do more of their weekly grocery shopping at the club, which charges an annual membership fee.
BJ's agreed in June to be sold for $2.8 billion in cash. The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter.

This is great news for the wholesale industry. As the past is showing in relation to this post, the economy is slowly but surely picking back up.
ReplyDeleteBjs terminated a temp employees assignment because they had to take the day off for court. Isn't it illegal to terminate employment of any kind due to court because the person would have a warrant for arrest for missing. The employee let the supervisor know in advance and was told to send her an email. She sent the email and then they ended the assignment. I know another girl who was also a temp employee and had to take her child to the doctor and then her assignment ended. Bjs is not fair to employees in that way. The girl who missed work for court wishes she just skipped court because apparently that is what the employer wanted her to do. Someone should look into how many others lost their position because of matters like this because I think it is illegal to terminate any employment due to missed work for court.
