## Company history

BJ’s Wholesale Club was launched in 1984 by Zayre Corp., opening its first warehouse club in Medford, Massachusetts. The initials “BJ” refer to Beverly Jean, the daughter of the club’s first president. [32](https://newsroom.bjs.com/about-us/)[33](https://help.bjs.com/hc/en-us/articles/26880331336468-What-does-the-BJ-in-BJ-s-Wholesale-Club-stand-for) By 2002, the company had grown to 131 clubs across 15 states. [34](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/vprr/0203/02031278.pdf)

In 1997, BJ’s became an independent, publicly owned company through its spin-off from Waban Inc. [35](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1037461/0001005477-98-001281.txt)[36](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/850316/0000898430-97-003100.txt) Leonard Green & Partners and CVC Capital Partners acquired BJ’s in 2011, taking it private. [37](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1037461/000119312511261433/d237528dex991.htm) The company returned to public ownership with its 2018 initial public offering and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange as BJ.
