1017 ET - BJ's Wholesale Club CEO Bob Eddy says the company navigated a dynamic environment last year, marked by a more cautious, value-seeking consumer, tariff-related and geopolitical uncertainties, and broader macroeconomic volatility. He continues to say that shoppers depend on the company regardless of conditions, something that was evident late last quarter ahead of Winter Storm Fern. "In the days leading up to the storm we set a daily record for gas volume that was 20% higher than our previous daily record," he says on a call with analysts. "Our team worked tirelessly to keep our clubs open and ensure that our members had access to the essential supplies they needed, from groceries and household goods to ice melt and emergency items."
