More Information

Eddy joined BJ’s about 18 years ago, serving in various financial roles until taking over as president and CEO in 2021. He ascended to the role after the untimely and tragic death of then-leader Lee Delaney and was appointed chairman of the board in June 2023. Today, Eddy serves as chairman of the board of directors at the National Retail Federation, as a director at Dick’s Sporting Goods, and on the College Advisory Board at Babson College, his alma mater.

The Marlborough-based company operates 253 clubs on the east coast. It has 189 gas stations, 7.5 million members, and $20 billion in annual sales. Net income was up about 2% in fiscal 2024 compared to the year before, and total revenues were up nearly 3%.

In March, the company said it would open 25-30 new clubs over its next two fiscal years. This will include several stores in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, marking the company’s first entry into Texas. Stores scheduled to open in 2025 include locations in Delray Beach, Florida; Warner Robins, Georgia; Sevierville, Tennessee; and Casselberry, Florida. Each new location will employ between 100 and 150 people, according to the company.
