BJ's Wholesale Club

The retailer recently opened its second BJ's Market, a smaller format store that runs about half the size of a typical BJ's Wholesale Club and is designed to expedite the grocery shopping experience for busy customers. It's also begun adding interactive screens to the alcohol departments of some locations, placed to inspire shoppers and encourage discovery.

PetSmart
