NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The results for BJs Wholesale Club, Inc. (BJs or the Company or we) for the quarter and six months ended
August 1, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full fiscal year or any future period because, among other things, our business, in common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to seasonal influences. Our
sales and operating income have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year.

2. These
interim financial statements are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments we considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP).

3. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and related notes in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

4. During the
second quarter ended August 1, 2009, we granted 528,635 restricted shares and no stock options. In last years second quarter, we granted 547,233 restricted shares and no stock options. In this years first half, we granted 575,447
restricted shares and no stock options. In last years first half, we granted 547,233 restricted shares and 10,000 stock options.

Presented below is
information regarding pretax share-based compensation for this years and last years second quarters and for this years and last years first halves:

Options to purchase the following number of shares were outstanding at August 1, 2009 and August 2,
2008, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the options exercise prices were greater than the average market price of the common shares for the periods indicated.

Closure of ProFoods

Both ProFoods clubs were closed in the fourth quarter ended February 3, 2007. The operating results of these clubs are included in discontinued operations for all periods presented. We recorded a charge of $25.7 million to close these
clubs in the fourth quarter of 2006. This charge consisted mainly of fixed asset impairments of $14.0 million, lease obligation costs of $8.8 million and $1.0 million for employee termination benefits. In 2007, we settled the lease for one of the
two closed ProFoods locations, and subleased the other ProFoods location for a portion of its remaining lease term, which reduced the reserve by approximately $4.0 million. Increases to the reserve in this years first half consisted of
interest accretion charges and reductions to the reserve consisted of lease obligation payments.

2002 Closure of Three BJs Locations

On November 9, 2002, we closed both of our clubs in the Columbus, Ohio, market and a club in North Dade, Florida. In 2004 and 2005, we made lump
sum payments to settle two of the three leases. The reserve for BJs closed clubs at August 1, 2009 was related to lease obligations for the remaining closed club. Increases to the reserve in this years first half consisted of
interest accretion charges and reductions to the reserve consisted of lease obligation payments.

The charges for both ProFoods and BJs lease
obligations were based on the present value of rent liabilities under the relevant leases, including estimated real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges, reduced by estimated income from the potential subleasing of these properties. An
annual discount rate of 6% was used to calculate the present value of the obligations. The liabilities for the closed club leases are included in current and noncurrent closed store lease obligations on our balance sheet.

2008 Closure of One BJs Location

In the third quarter of 2008,
we sold our owned club in Greenville, South Carolina, and recorded a charge of $0.4 million in related exit costs. As of August 1, 2009, we have paid all liabilities and do not expect any future expenses related to this closing.

8. The following tables summarize the activity for the six months ended August 1, 2009 and August 2, 2008 associated with our 2006 restructuring activities,
which consisted of the relocation of our Franklin, MA, cross-dock facility to a new facility in Uxbridge, MA, in July 2006 (dollars in thousands):

Franklin Cross-dock Relocation

In connection with vacating the Franklin cross-dock facility, we established reserves of $2.4 million for our remaining lease liabilities for this property. The charges for this reserve were based on our rent
liabilities under the lease, reduced by estimated potential sublease rentals, and were recorded in selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses. In 2007, we subleased the Franklin facility for a portion of its remaining lease
term. The remaining liability for this facility is included in current closed store lease obligations in the balance sheet since our lease expires in January 2010. We do not expect any material future expenses related to the Franklin facility.

9. Early in 2004 we were notified by credit card issuers that credit and debit card accounts used legitimately at BJs were subsequently used in
fraudulent transactions at non-BJs locations. In response, we retained a leading computer security firm to conduct a forensic analysis of our information technology systems with a goal of determining whether a breach had in fact occurred.
While no conclusive evidence of a breach was found, the computer security firm concluded that: (1) our centralized computer system that serves as the aggregation point for all BJs credit and debit card transactions chain-wide had not been
breached and (2) any breach would have likely occurred in a more decentralized fashion involving club-level systems. On March 12, 2004, after our receipt of the computer security firms preliminary report of findings, we issued a
public statement alerting consumers to the potential security breach. On August 5, 2008, the US Attorneys Office in Boston charged 11 individuals with allegedly breaching the credit card security systems on a number of retailers,
including BJs in 2004. Some of these individuals have pleaded guilty in this and similar cases involving other retailers.

To date, we have recorded
total charges of $13.0 million to establish a reserve for claims seeking reimbursement for fraudulent credit and debit card charges and the cost of replacing cards, monitoring expenses and related fees and expenses. No charges have been



9



---

recorded in connection with this matter since 2006. As of August 1, 2009, the balance in the reserve was $3.9 million, which represents our best
estimate of the remaining cost and expenses related to this matter. This reserve is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on our balance sheet.

We are under an obligation to indemnify our credit card acquirer, Fifth Third Bank, for losses incurred in the performance of their services. Fifth Third and BJs are subject to the same claims in this matter. As
such, and to mitigate Fifth Thirds past costs of defense, during 2008 we entered into an agreement with Fifth Third whereby we share Fifth Thirds past costs of defense related to certain of the claims.

As of August 1, 2009, the amount of outstanding claims, which are primarily from credit card issuing banks, was approximately $13 million. We are unable to predict
whether further claims will be asserted. We have contested and will continue to contest the claims made against us and continue to explore our defenses and possible claims against others.

The ultimate outcome of this matter could differ from the amounts recorded. While that difference could be material to the results of operations for any affected
reporting period, it is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or liquidity.

10. Net periodic benefit cost
recognized for our unfunded defined benefit postretirement medical plan was as follows:

11. We have a $225 million unsecured credit agreement with a group of banks which expires April 27, 2010. The
agreement includes a $50 million sub-facility for letters of credit, of which $5.5 million was outstanding at August 1, 2009. We are required to pay an annual facility fee which is currently 0.15% of the total commitment. Interest on borrowings
is payable at BJs option either at (a) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin which is currently 0.475% or (b) a rate equal to the higher of (i) the sum of the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% or (ii) the agent
banks prime rate. We are also required to pay a usage fee whenever the amount of loans and undrawn or unreimbursed letters of credit outstanding exceeds 50% of the total commitment. The usage fee, if applicable, would currently be at an annual
rate of 0.125% of the amount borrowed. The facility fee and Eurodollar margin are subject to change based upon our fixed charge coverage ratio. The agreement contains financial covenants which include a minimum fixed charge coverage requirement and
a maximum adjusted debt to capital limitation. We are required to comply with these covenants on a quarterly basis. Under the credit agreement, we may pay dividends or repurchase our own stock in any amount so long as we remain in compliance



10



---

with all requirements under the agreement. We have no credit rating triggers that would accelerate the maturity date if borrowings were outstanding under our
credit agreement. We were in compliance with the covenants and other requirements set forth in our credit agreement at August 1, 2009. We expect to refinance our bank credit agreement prior to its expiration.

In addition to the credit agreement, we maintain a $25 million uncommitted credit line for short-term borrowings. We also maintain two separate facilities totaling $82
million for letters of credit, primarily to support the purchase of inventories, of which $38.5 million was outstanding at August 1, 2009. As of August 1, 2009, we also had an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $5.7 million,
which is used to support our self-insurance program for workers compensation.

There were no borrowings outstanding under our bank credit agreement
or our uncommitted credit line at August 1, 2009, January 31, 2009 and August 2, 2008.

12. During this years first six months,
we repurchased 1,880,600 shares of our common stock for $55.6 million, all of which was purchased in the first quarter. In last years first six months, we repurchased 2,357,300 shares of our common stock for $83.2 million. These amounts are
lower than stock repurchase amounts reported in the statement of cash flows by $14.8 million and $4.1 million in 2009 and 2008, respectively, due to transactions that had not settled at the beginning of each year. As of August 1, 2009, our
remaining repurchase authorization from the Board of Directors was $138.3 million.

In addition to the above repurchases, upon the vesting of certain
restricted stock awards, 44,038 shares in this years first six months and 654 shares in last years first six months were reacquired to satisfy employees tax withholding obligations. In 2009, these reacquired shares were recorded as
an additional $1.6 million of treasury stock and accordingly, reduced the number of common shares outstanding by 44,038. In the prior year, the reacquired shares were recorded as an additional $21,000 of treasury stock and accordingly, reduced the
number of common shares outstanding by 654.

13. Our unrecognized tax benefits were $6.3 million at January 31, 2009 and August 1, 2009. We have
determined that it is reasonably possible that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease by as much as $2.3 million ($1.5 million, net of federal tax benefit) within the next 12 months, due to the resolution of state income tax
audits.

14. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 157,
Fair Value Measurements (FASB 157), as amended in February 2008 by FASB Staff Position (FSP) FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157. FASB 157 provides a definition of fair value,
provides guidance for measuring fair value in U.S. GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. FSP FAS 157-2 deferred the effective date of FASB 157 for one year for all nonfinancial assets and liabilities except those that are
recognized or disclosed in the financial statements at fair value at least annually. We partially adopted the provisions of FASB 157 effective February 3, 2008. The partial adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our
financial statements. We adopted the remaining provisions of FASB 157 effective



11



---

February 1, 2009. This adoption impacts the way that we calculate fair value when conditions exist that require us to consider an impairment of
long-lived assets. However, this adoption did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 141(R), Business Combinations (FASB 141(R)). We adopted the provisions of FASB 141(R), effective February 1, 2009. This statement requires the acquiring entity in a business
combination to recognize assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose all
information needed by investors to understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. The adoption of this statement did not have an impact on our financial statements.

In December 2007, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements  an
amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51 (FASB 160). We adopted the provisions of FASB 160, effective February 1, 2009. This statement requires that noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries be reported in the
equity section of the companys balance sheet. It also changes the manner in which the net income of the subsidiary is reported and disclosed in the controlling companys income statement. The adoption of this statement did not have an
impact on our financial statements as we do not have any noncontrolling interests.

In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FASB 161). We adopted the provisions of FASB 161, effective February 1, 2009. This statement improves financial reporting about
derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures to enable investors to better understand the effects of the derivative instruments on an entitys financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. The
adoption of this statement did not have a material impact on our financial statements as we do not have any material derivative instruments.

In December
2008, the FASB issued FSP FAS No. 132(R)-1, Employers Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets (FASB 132(R)-1). FASB 132(R)-1 provides guidance on an employers disclosures about plan assets of a defined
benefit pension or other postretirement plan and will become effective at the beginning of fiscal 2010. We do not expect the adoption of this statement to have a material impact on our financial statements.

In May 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 165, Subsequent Events (FASB 165). FASB 165 establishes general
standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. We adopted the provisions of FASB 165, effective August 1, 2009. Subsequent events have been evaluated
through September 2, 2009, the date the financial statements were issued.

In June 2009, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles  a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 (FASB 168). FASB 168 establishes the FASB Accounting
Standards Codification as the source of authoritative accounting principles



12



---

recognized by the FASB to be applied in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. FASB 168
explicitly recognizes rules and interpretative releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) under federal securities laws as authoritative generally accepted accounting principles for SEC registrants. FASB 168 is effective
for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. We will amend our disclosures accordingly beginning with our interim consolidated financial statements included in our fiscal third quarter of 2009
Form 10-Q.

15. Certain amounts in the prior years financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Within
the Statement of Income we have revised the classification of a number of miscellaneous revenues that had been previously reported on a net basis in Selling, general and administrative expenses to Other revenues and
Cost of sales, including buying and occupancy costs. Additionally, the membership fees component of our previously disclosed Membership fees and other is now classified in its own line and the remainder of the former
Membership fees and other line now resides in Other revenues. Please refer to the Current Report on Form 8-K submitted on November 19, 2008 for further information on these revised classifications.

Thirteen Weeks (Second Quarter) and Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 1, 2009 versus Thirteen and Twenty-Six Weeks Ended August 2, 2008

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of our unaudited quarterly financial statements in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the date
of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Some accounting policies have a significant impact on amounts reported in these financial statements. A description of our critical accounting
policies is contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009 in the Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates section of Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Net
sales for the quarter ended August 1, 2009 decreased 5.2% to $2.51 billion from $2.64 billion reported in last years second quarter. Net sales for the first half of the current year totaled $4.77 billion, a decrease of 2.7% compared to
last years first half. These decreases were attributable to a 7.7% decrease in comparable club sales for the second quarter and a 4.8% decrease in comparable club sales for the first half of the year, in each case partially offset by sales
from new clubs and gasoline stations. Much higher retail gasoline prices throughout the first half of last year contributed to gasoline sales in 2009 that were approximately 50% below last year.

Merchandise comparable club sales increased 2.9% and 5.0% in this years second quarter and first half,
respectively, due largely to increases in food sales, particularly in perishables. Food accounted for approximately 65% of merchandise sales in this years second quarter and year-to-date periods versus 64% in last years second quarter
and year-to-date period. On a comparable club basis, food sales increased by approximately 6% in this years second quarter and increased by approximately 7% year-to-date. Also on a comparable club basis, general merchandise sales decreased by
approximately 2% in this years second quarter and increased by approximately 1% year-to-date. Comparable club merchandise sales in this years second quarter were unfavorably affected by unseasonably cool and wet weather in the Northeast,
weak discretionary consumer spending, and increased price deflation, particularly in some perishables departments.



14



---

Stronger performing departments compared to last years second quarter included candy, cereal, cigarettes, computer
equipment, dairy, deli, fresh meat, frozen, health and beauty aids, household chemicals, ice cream, paper products, pet foods, produce, snacks, and televisions. Weaker performing departments compared to last year included air conditioners, apparel,
domestics, electronics, jewelry, juices, lawn and garden, milk, oils and shortenings, prerecorded video, sporting goods, summer seasonal, tires, trash bags, and water.

Excluding sales of gasoline, customer count on a comparable club basis increased by approximately 4% in this years second quarter and increased by approximately 5% in the year-to-date period. The average
transaction amount by the same measure decreased approximately 1% in this years second quarter and was approximately flat in the year-to-date period. Second quarter traffic and average transaction amounts were unfavorably impacted by the
weather and deflation issues discussed above.

Membership fee income was $45.3 million in this years second quarter versus $44.3 million in last
years comparable period. This 2.0% increase was due to strong renewal rates and the benefit from opening more new clubs earlier this year compared to last year. Our new clubs opened to date in 2009 have also exceeded our plans in terms of
total members. For the year-to-date period, membership fee income was $89.6 million this year compared to $88.4 million last year.

Other revenues were
$13.9 million in this years second quarter versus $14.0 million last year. For the year-to-date period, other revenues were $24.9 million this year compared to $24.6 million last year.

Cost of sales (including buying and occupancy costs) was 91.24% of net sales in this years second quarter versus 92.39% in last years second quarter. The 115
basis point improvement reflected a favorable impact from decreased sales of low margin gasoline of 115 basis points and favorable merchandise margins of 46 basis points. Merchandise margins benefited from a favorable sales mix of high margin
perishables, lower freight expense due to reductions in fuel costs, and operational improvements that lowered shrinkage and salvage costs. These improvements in cost of sales as a percentage of sales were partially offset by de-leveraging of buying
and occupancy costs of approximately 45 basis points, due primarily to lower gasoline sales.

Year-to-date cost of sales (including buying and occupancy
costs) was 91.35% of net sales this year versus 92.57% last year. The 122 basis point improvement was driven by the same factors as cited for the second quarter. More specifically, the decrease reflected a favorable impact from weak sales of low
margin gasoline of 110 basis points; favorable merchandise margins of 47 basis points; and de-leveraging of buying and occupancy costs of 35 basis points.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) were 8.60% of net sales in this years second quarter versus 7.62% in last years comparable period. SG&A expense experienced de-leveraging due to gasoline
sales that were well below last year. The increase of 98 basis points was attributable mainly to increases of 62 basis points in club and home office payroll expenses, 29 basis



15



---

points in club and home office fringe benefits expenses, including bonus expenses, medical insurance costs and share-based compensation, seven basis points
in insurance costs other than medical insurance, and five basis points in advertising costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately four basis points in credit costs, due to lower gasoline sales versus last years
second quarter.

Year-to-date SG&A expenses were 8.83% of net sales this year versus 7.95% last year. The increase of 88 basis points in the
year-to-date period was driven largely by the same factors as cited in the second quarter. Club and home office payroll expenses increased by 53 basis points. Club and home office fringe benefits expenses, including bonus expense and share-based
compensation, increased by 28 basis points and other miscellaneous expenses increased by seven basis points.

Total SG&A expenses for the second
quarter increased by $14.3 million, or 7.1%, from last years second quarter. The growth in SG&A versus last year was driven primarily by increases in club payroll expenses, medical insurance costs, and IT Roadmap costs. Payroll and payroll
benefits (including stock compensation) accounted for 77% of all SG&A expenses in this years second quarter compared to 76% in last years second quarter. For the year-to-date period, total SG&A expenses rose by $31.5 million, or
8.1%. The percent growth was lower in the second quarter compared to the first quarter of this year due to a decrease in gasoline credit card costs which rose significantly in the second quarter of last year due to high gasoline retail prices.
Payroll and payroll benefits (including stock compensation) accounted for 77% of all SG&A expenses in this years first six months compared to 75% in last years first six months.

Preopening expenses were $3.8 million in this years second quarter versus $0.1 million in last years second quarter. Year-to-date preopening expenses totaled
$5.4 million this year versus $0.7 million last year. These increases reflected spending on three new clubs that opened during this years second quarter and one new club that opened in the beginning of the third quarter. Only one new club
opened in last years first half.

Net interest expense was $0.1 million in this years second quarter versus net interest income of $0.5 million
in last years second quarter. Net interest expense for the first six months of this year was $0.3 million versus net interest income of $0.6 million in last years comparable period. These changes were principally due to lower interest
rates on lower amounts of invested cash as compared to last year. Unlike last year, we borrowed under our revolving credit agreement during this years first six months. We had no amounts outstanding as of August 1, 2009.

Our income tax provision was 40.6% of pretax income from continuing operations in this years second quarter and this years first half versus 37.3% in last
years second quarter and 38.4% in last years first half. Last years lower rates included the favorable settlements of state income tax audits in the second quarter, which reduced our provision for income taxes by $2.0 million.

Income from continuing operations was $35.2 million, or $.64 per diluted share, in this years second quarter versus $36.6 million, or $.61 per
diluted share, in last years comparable period. For the first six months, income from continuing operations was $59.6 million or $1.09 per diluted share, this year versus $54.0 million, or $.90 per diluted share, last year. Last years
amounts included the favorable income tax audit settlements of $2.0 million.

Loss from discontinued operations (net of income tax benefit) was $0.1 million in this years second quarter versus
$0.2 million in last years second quarter. For the first six months, loss from discontinued operations (net of income tax benefit) was $0.2 million this year versus $0.3 million last year. These amounts consisted primarily of accretion charges
on closed store lease obligations in all periods.

Net income for the second quarter was $35.1 million, or $.64 per diluted share, this year versus $36.5
million, or $.61 per diluted share, last year. Last years second quarter results included post-tax income of $2.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, as a result of favorable income tax audit settlements.

Net income for the first six months of this year was $59.4 million, or $1.09 per diluted share, versus $53.7 million, or $.90 per diluted share, last year. These results
reflect an 11% increase in net income and a 21% increase in diluted earnings per share versus the prior year. Last years results also included the post-tax income of $2.0 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, from the previously mentioned
income tax audit settlements.

The Company operated 183 clubs on August 1, 2009 versus 178 clubs on August 2, 2008.

Seasonality

Our business, in common with the business of retailers
generally, is subject to seasonal influences. Our sales and operating income have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year.

Recent Accounting Standards

See Note 14 in Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements for a summary of recently issued accounting standards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities was $135.5 million in the first six months of 2009 versus $131.4 million in last years comparable period. The increase was
driven by higher net income in this years first six months and changes in certain balance sheet accounts which were affected by the timing of payments. Cash provided by changes in merchandise inventories, net of accounts payable, increased by
$7.5 million in the first six months of this year versus an increase of $38.9 million in last years comparable period.

Average inventory per club
increased 3.8% versus last year, due to lower than expected sales in the last two weeks of the second quarter, particularly in edible grocery and consumables. The ratio of accounts payable to merchandise inventories was 70.4% at the end of this
years second quarter versus 73.0% at the end of last years second quarter. This decrease reflected the unfavorable impact from lower gasoline sales, which have a very fast turning inventory. Excluding gasoline sales, this metric
increased slightly compared to last year.

Cash expended for property additions was $87.5 million in this years first six months versus $49.1 million in last
years comparable period. In this years first half, we opened three new clubs in Clermont, Florida; Pelham Manor, New York; and Bronx Terminal, New York. We also opened a fourth club in North Bergen, New Jersey, at the beginning of the
third quarter. In last years first half, we opened one new club. We plan on opening three more clubs in 2009. The timing of actual openings and the amount of related expenditures could vary from these estimates due, among other things, to the
complexity of the real estate development process.

During this years first six months, we repurchased 1,880,600 shares of our common stock for $55.6
million, all of which was purchased in the first quarter. In last years first six months, we repurchased 2,357,300 shares of our common stock for $83.2 million. These amounts differ from the stock repurchase amounts in the statement of cash
flows due to transactions that had not settled at the beginning of the year. As of August 1, 2009, our remaining repurchase authorization from the Board of Directors was $138.3 million.

We have a $225 million unsecured credit agreement with a group of banks which expires April 27, 2010. The agreement includes a $50 million sub-facility for letters
of credit, of which $5.5 million was outstanding at August 1, 2009. We were in compliance with the covenants and other requirements set forth in our credit agreement at August 1, 2009. See Note 11 in Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements for further details of the credit agreement. We expect to refinance our bank credit agreement prior to its expiration.

In addition to the
credit agreement, we maintain a $25 million uncommitted credit line for short-term borrowings. We also maintain two separate facilities totaling $82 million for letters of credit, primarily to support the purchase of inventories, of which $38.5
million was outstanding at August 1, 2009. As of August 1, 2009, we also had an outstanding letter of credit in the amount of $5.7 million, which is used to support our self-insurance program for workers compensation.

There were no borrowings outstanding under our bank credit agreement and our uncommitted credit line at August 1, 2009, January 31, 2009 and
August 2, 2008.

During the third quarter of 2002, we established reserves for our liabilities related to leases for three BJs clubs which
closed on November 9, 2002. In 2004 and 2005, we made lump sum payments to settle the leases for two of the three closed clubs. Our reserve of $7.5 million as of August 1, 2009 is based on the present value of our rent liability under the
lease for the remaining club, including real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges, reduced by estimated future income from subleasing the property. An annual discount rate of 6% was used to calculate the present value of the obligation.

In 2006, we established reserves for our liabilities related to leases for the two ProFoods clubs, which closed in the fourth quarter. We recorded a
charge of $25.7 million to close the ProFoods clubs, which included a charge of $8.8 million for lease obligation costs based on the present value of rent liabilities under the two leases, including estimated real estate taxes and common area
maintenance

charges, reduced by estimated future income from the potential subleasing of these properties. An annual discount rate of 6% was used to calculate the
present value of the obligations. As of August 1, 2009, the reserve for our ProFoods obligations was $3.0 million.

We believe that the liabilities
recorded in the financial statements adequately provide for these lease obligations. However, there can be no assurance that our actual liability for closed store obligations will not differ materially from amounts recorded in the financial
statements due to a number of factors, including future economic factors which may affect the ability to successfully sublease, assign or otherwise settle liabilities related to these properties. We consider our maximum reasonably possible
undiscounted pretax exposure for our closed store lease obligations to be approximately $16.5 million at August 1, 2009.

Early in 2004 we were
notified by credit card issuers that credit and debit card accounts used legitimately at BJs were subsequently used in fraudulent transactions at non-BJs locations. In response, we retained a leading computer security firm to conduct a
forensic analysis of our information technology systems with a goal of determining whether a breach had in fact occurred. (See Note 9 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.) We have recorded total charges of $13.0
million to date to establish a reserve for claims seeking reimbursement for fraudulent credit and debit card charges and the cost of replacing cards, monitoring expenses and related fees and expenses. As of August 1, 2009, the balance in the
reserve was $3.9 million, which represented our best estimate of the remaining costs and expenses related to this matter at that time. As of August 1, 2009, the amount of outstanding claims, which are primarily from credit card issuing banks,
was approximately $13 million. We are unable to predict whether further claims will be asserted. We have contested and will continue to contest the claims made against us and continue to explore our defenses and possible claims against others. The
ultimate outcome of this matter could differ from the amounts recorded. While that difference could be material to the results of operations for any affected reporting period, it is not expected to have a material impact on consolidated financial
position or liquidity.

Cash and cash equivalents totaled $37.0 million as of August 1, 2009. We believe that our current resources, together with
anticipated cash flows from operations, will be sufficient to finance our operations through the term of our credit agreement and any ensuing credit agreement. However, we may from time to time seek to obtain additional financing.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report
contains a number of forward-looking statements, including statements regarding planned capital expenditures, planned club openings, expected provision for income taxes, BJs reserve for credit and debit card claims, lease
obligations in connection with closed BJs and ProFoods clubs or crossdocks, and other information with respect to our plans and strategies, including those disclosed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations. Any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact may be deemed to be forward-looking statements. Without limiting the foregoing, the words believes, anticipates,
plans, estimates, expects and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking

statements. There are a number of important factors that could cause actual events or our actual results to differ materially from those indicated by such
forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, levels of gasoline profitability; levels of customer demand; economic and weather conditions; federal, state and local regulations; federal tax and fiscal policy; activities by organized
labor; competitive conditions; litigation; our success in settling lease obligations for closed clubs; and our success in settling credit and debit card claims. Each of these and other factors are discussed in more detail in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2009.

Any forward-looking statements represent our estimates only as of the day this quarterly report
was first filed with the SEC and should not be relied upon as representing our estimates as of any subsequent date. While we may elect to update forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do
so, even if our estimates change.



|Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

We
believe that our potential exposure to market risk as of August 1, 2009 is not material because of the short contractual maturities of our cash and cash equivalents on that date. There were no borrowings outstanding under our bank credit
agreement or our uncommitted credit line at August 1, 2009. We held no derivatives at August 1, 2009.



|Item 4. | Controls and Procedures
|------- | -----------------------

The Companys management, with the
participation of the Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of August 1, 2009. The term disclosure controls and
procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or
submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to
ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the Companys management, including its principal executive and principal financial
officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives
and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of the Companys disclosure controls and procedures as of August 1, 2009, the
Companys chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of such date, the Companys disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

No change in the Companys internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during the fiscal
quarter ended August 1, 2009 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Companys internal control over financial reporting.

We publicly announced in a press release dated August 26, 1998 that the Board of Directors authorized a program to repurchase up to $50
million of the Companys common stock. We subsequently announced that the Board authorized increases in the program of $50 million each in press releases dated September 16, 1999, May 25, 2000, and May 25, 2001; additional
increases of $100 million each in press releases dated September 26, 2001, August 20, 2002, March 1, 2005, April 5, 2006, and May 23, 2007; an increase of $250 million announced in a press release dated

No expiration dates were set under any of the Boards authorizations. From the inception of the program through August 1, 2009, we have repurchased approximately 32.7 million shares for a total of $1,011.7 million, leaving a remaining
authorization of $138.3 million. During the second quarter of 2009, there were no repurchases under the program.

The following activity represents shares
tendered to us by employees who vested in restricted stock and used shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. As such, these are non-cash transactions.
