Popular NC grocery store changes its hours. Here’s when to shop

A popular North Carolina grocery store chain is changing its hours for all locations.

The store, BJ’s Wholesale Club, said the extended hours would give members added convenience.

Now, shoppers can visit stores and gas stations until 10 p.m. Monday-Saturday and until 9 p.m. on Sundays, the store announced.

New hours went into effect Monday, April 6.

There are 11 BJ’s locations across North Carolina, including in Raleigh, Cary, Selma, Garner, Concord, Pineville and Mooresville.

When are BJ’s, Costco and Sam’s Club open?

BJ’s Warehouse Club now stays open longer than the other two membership clubs in North Carolina. However, both Sam’s Club and Costco Wholesale adjusted their store hours last year, either opening earlier or closing later.

• Sam’s Club, which is owned by Walmart, changed hours for most stores in October. Locations stay open until 8 p.m. daily.
• Costco Wholesale stores close at 8 p.m. weekdays, 7 p.m. Saturdays and 6 p.m. Sundays. In June 2025, Costco began allowing its Executive Members to shop earlier, at 9 a.m. daily.
