A wholesale warehouse club is looking to add a new location to Central Ohio.

BJ’s Wholesale Club is planning to expand operations in Grove City. A Preliminary Development Plan was submitted to the city earlier this month for a 104,470-square-foot store on about an 18-acre site at 1209-1213 Stringtown Road.

Included in the Wholesale Club’s proposal are 18 gas pumps, associated parking, and a possible outparcel for a restaurant with a drive-thru. Near the property corridor includes Walmart, Target, Chick-fil-A, and AMC, and an OhioHealth hospital. 

The proposal is currently in the development review process and no plans have been officially approved. Grove City will be Central Ohio’s third BJ’s Wholesale location, including one in New Albany and Lewis Center.
