 | | Zayre unveiled BJ's Wholesale Club, as part of its growth-through-diversification effort, which already includes the original Zayre discount store arm and two off-price apparel chains. |
 | | Zayre plans to operate 25 BJ's by 1989, and expects each to generate $30 million after the first 12 months of operation, according to Mervyn Weich, president of the division. |
 | | Zayre, however, has put virtually none of its own stamp on BJ's, which, judging from the Medford store visited by DSN, closely follows the price structure, merchandise mix and store layout of the wholesale club format pioneered by the San Diego, Calif.-based Price Club. |
