After Ikea's Success, Red Hook Gets BJ's

082808bjs.jpgRumors of another big box department store following Ikea's footsteps into Red Hook have been all but confirmed by the Brooklyn Paper, which is reporting that BJ’s Wholesale Club is "on the verge of announcing plans to move into the former site of the Revere Sugar factory." That would put the members-only retailer just down the street from Ikea and bring Red Hook residents closer to fulfilling their dream of living in a world class shopping plaza. “Will there be more? Yes. It’s inevitable,” Landon McGaw, director of sales for Massey Knakal Realty Services, told the paper. And if the project is approved after a public review process, it would be the second BJ's for Brooklyn!

the residents of red hook are against ikea. someone threw a rock at our car while we were departing the neighborhood. your area will be the same pos if you act like that.

There used to be lots of BJs on that site- except it was between the longshoremen and the working girls.

I'd like to get a BJ in Astoria. I've been there for a year now, and still no BJ.

It's inevitable because douchebags like you care more about boosting your commission than anything else.

I can tell when it's a John Del Signore post just by the titles now.
