WESTBOROUGH, Mass. -- 

The results are in – the vast majority of Americans (72%) would pay to skip the line in stores if they needed supplies on the same-day as their holiday gathering, according to a BJ’s Wholesale Club (NYSE: BJ) survey conducted by Wakefield Research.

The survey discovered some of the top pains of holiday shopping, but BJ’s has them covered. From cost and time savings, convenient digital shopping options, and a one-stop shop with everything members need, when they need it, BJ’s offers it all to help members live joyously this holiday season.

“Preparing for the holidays can be stressful and time consuming,” said Lee Delaney, executive vice president and chief commercial officer, BJ's Wholesale Club. “We know our members want to spend more time with family while also staying within budget. That’s why we make the holiday season as easy and affordable as possible.”

Why wait when you can skip the lines? Nearly one in four Americans have spent 30 minutes or longer waiting in line at a store to buy food or groceries during the holidays. BJ’s members can live conveniently with same-day grocery delivery to get all of their essentials delivered directly to their door.

“BJ’s is an easy and convenient one-stop shop, especially during the holidays,” Delaney said. “Our wide assortment of fresh food, décor, gifts, supplies and apparel – coupled with easy shopping options like same day delivery– helps members conveniently get whatever they need, whenever they need it.”
