KEARNY, N.J., Aug. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The new BJ's Wholesale Club in Kearny could save local shoppers up to $10 million a year, saving families up to 25 percent – and more -- with every day prices that are significantly less than grocery store prices. The company is sharing secrets to help members unlock the savings at the Club, with its grand opening set for Saturday, September 3.

"People can be a little intimated when they think of shopping at membership warehouse clubs," said Robert Reyes, General Manager of the BJ's Wholesale Club in Kearny. "But BJ's Wholesale Club is different. We offer far more fresh produce, dairy, meat and deli items than other clubs at prices that are lower than grocery stores. With almost twice as many products as other clubs, we're the perfect one-stop shopping destination for everything from bananas to diapers to the latest electronics. And we're committed to offering outstanding value and great quality."

To help Kearny shoppers save, the company shared the following secrets:

BJ's offers the best value of any supermarket or club.
- BJ's prices on the key items that families buy most often are always significantly less than supermarkets, saving families up to 25 percent or more.
- The company is the only major wholesale club that accepts manufacturers' coupons, offering families another great way to save.
- Its own brands, Berkley Jensen and Wellsley Farms, let families save without sacrificing quality or fun.
