BJ’s Wholesale Club Is Opening in Grand Prairie, TX: A Full Deep Dive on What’s Coming (Spring 2026)

Big retail news for the DFW metroplex: BJ’s Wholesale Club is officially coming to Grand Prairie, Texas, with the company advertising an opening in Spring 2026.


If you’ve been wondering when it’s opening, where it will be located, what BJ’s offers (and how it compares to Costco/Sam’s), and why this is a meaningful development for Grand Prairie, here’s the full breakdown.


Quick Summary: The Grand Prairie BJ’s at a Glance

  • Projected opening: Spring 2026 

  • Where: Near the IKEA / Topgolf area, in the Mayfield/Robinson corridor (per City of Grand Prairie)

  • Address listed by BJ’s: 1021 Ikea Way, Grand Prairie, TX 75052 (BJ’s club listing)

  • Planned store size: ~104,759 sq ft (site plan agenda item)

  • Fuel on site: Site plan references fuel pumps 

  • Texas expansion: BJ’s announced plans to expand into the Dallas Fort Worth area starting early 2026 


Note on addresses: Public documents reference the Mayfield/Robinson area and a site plan item addressed as 965 Mayfield Dr, while BJ’s own club page lists 1021 Ikea Way. These can reflect adjacent parcels, final addressing, or how the retailer is labeling the location publicly, so for navigation purposes, expect the club to be in the IKEA/Topgolf corridor with BJ’s confirming exact details closer to opening.


What BJ’s Wholesale Club Is (and Why People Like It)

BJ’s is a membership-based warehouse club, similar category to Costco and Sam’s Club, with bulk grocery, household essentials, seasonal items, and often strong value on:

  • Gas savings (BJ’s commonly leans into fuel value)

  • Family-size groceries and staples

  • Paper goods, cleaning supplies, and pantry stock-ups

  • Rotating seasonal deals

BJ’s is also actively pushing membership sign-ups for the Grand Prairie opening, including a “founding member” style offer tied to the new club.


Where It’s Being Built in Grand Prairie

The City of Grand Prairie has publicly shared that BJ’s broke ground and is coming to the southwest corner of Robinson and Mayfield Road, described as being nestled between IKEA and Topgolf.

That’s a strategic placement for traffic flow and convenience, especially for residents coming from:

  • West Grand Prairie

  • Arlington/Mansfield edges

  • Irving/Las Colinas via major corridors

  • The broader DFW shopping loop


Timeline: What We Know So Far

1) Planning & Zoning / Site Plan Stage

City meeting materials identify the BJ’s project as a membership-only retail store with a large footprint and on-site fuel component.


2) Groundbreaking

Grand Prairie announced the project “officially broke ground” in July 2025.


3) Opening Window Announced

BJ’s own “new club” landing page states the Grand Prairie location is opening Spring 2026.


What This Means for Grand Prairie Residents

A new BJ’s isn’t just “another store.” For local families, it can change weekly routines in a few ways:


More price competition in the area

Warehouse clubs thrive on membership loyalty, but competition tends to influence:

  • Local pricing behavior

  • Fuel discount strategies

  • Promotional cycles for staples


A new anchor near an already-busy entertainment corridor

With IKEA and Topgolf nearby (as referenced by the city), BJ’s becomes another strong reason for people to spend time, and money in that zone.


Convenience for bulk-buying households

If you’ve got:

  • kids in sports,

  • a busy work schedule,

  • a packed household,

  • meal prep goals,

…bulk shopping can make a real difference on time and consistency.


Pro Tip: Big-Box Convenience Is Great, But Health Habits Still Need a Plan

A warehouse club can help you stock your home with better options, but the real win is when your shopping habits match your fitness goals.

That’s where we come in.
