The membership center gives shoppers the opportunity to purchase a founding membership through Jan. 25, 2024. Membership options start at $35. Membership center hours are Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m.-7 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m.

Once open, the roughly 100,000-square-foot warehouse shopping location will offer groceries, a full-service deli, seasonal items, home décor, electronics, apparel, and more. Members may shop in person or opt for ship-to-home, same-day delivery, curbside pickup, and in-club pickup.

The store will also have a BJ’s Gas location on site, offering discounted fuel prices to members, and a BJ’s Optical, BJ’s Travel, and an on-site tire center.

BJ’s is partnering with the Food Bank of the Southern Tier and will donate unsold produce, meat, dairy products, and more to the food bank weekly once the store opens.

A Panera Café opened in Oakdale Commons in September, and NBT Bank began construction in August on a new 2,700-square-foot branch slated to open there later this year. Dick’s House of Sport opened a 140,000-square-foot location complete with an outdoor field, climbing wall, and golf simulator in August.

Spark JC, LLC acquired the former Oakdale Mall in January 2022 and has been working to transform it into an entertainment, retail, and lifestyle hub.
