Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Description of Business	Description of Business BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Company" or "BJ’s") is a leading warehouse club operator concentrated primarily on the east coast of the United States of America. As of January 29, 2022, BJ’s operated 226 warehouse clubs in 17 states. BJ’s business is moderately seasonal in nature. Historically, the Company has realized a slightly higher portion of net sales, operating income and cash flows from operations in the second and fourth fiscal quarters, attributable primarily to the impact of the summer and year-end holiday season, respectively. The quarterly results have been, and will continue to be, affected by the timing of new club openings and their associated pre-opening expenses. As a result of these factors, the financial results for any single quarter or for periods of less than a year are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be achieved for a full fiscal year. The novel coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic has severely impacted the economies of the U.S. and other countries around the world. In the preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures we have assessed the impact that COVID-19 has had on our estimates, assumptions and accounting policies and made additional disclosures, as necessary. On January 25, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the assets and operations of four distribution centers and the related private transportation fleet from Burris Logistics. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of fiscal year 2022 and the Company expects to finance the purchase price with a combination of available cash and borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility.
