BJ's Wholesale To Accept Food Stamps At All Clubs

BOSTON (AP) ― BJ'S Wholesale Club says it will begin accepting electronic food stamp payments at all of its 180 stores.

The Natick, Mass.-based chain said Tuesday that effective immediately, members can purchase food with government-issued food stamps through Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) payments.

BJ's president and CEO Laura Sen said the decision was a recognition of the different and changing financial needs of its members.

BJ's, which operates stores in 15 states, also accepts cash, checks and most major credit and debit cards.
