| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying interim financial statements of BJ’s Wholesale Club Holdings, Inc. are unaudited and, in the opinion of management, reflect all normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with GAAP. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of January 31, 2026 is derived from the audited consolidated balance sheet as of that date. The Company’s business, as is common with the business of retailers generally, is subject to some seasonality. The Company’s net sales and cash flows have typically been highest in the fourth quarter holiday season and lowest in the first quarter of each fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2026.

The thirteen-week periods ended May 2, 2026 and May 3, 2025 are referred to herein as the “first quarter of fiscal year 2026” and the “first quarter of fiscal year 2025,” respectively. Operating results for the thirteen week period ended May 2, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the 52-week fiscal year ending January 30, 2027. |
| Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Policies | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements and Policies The Company’s accounting policies are set forth in the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2025. There have been no material changes to these accounting policies and no accounting pronouncements adopted that had a material impact on the Company’s financial statements aside from those identified herein. In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The disclosures required under the guidance can be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on the notes to its financial statements, and does not expect ASU 2024-03 to affect its condensed consolidated financial statements. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. ASU 2025-06 modernizes the accounting for internal-use software costs by increasing the operability of the recognition guidance considering different methods of software development, and removing the previous “development stage” model to determine when costs are able to be capitalized. ASU 2025-06 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company may apply the guidance prospectively, retrospectively, or via a modified prospective transition method. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and disclosures. (d) Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements and Policies In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements which serves to clarify, correct errors, or make minor improvements to various topics within the Codification. Generally, the amendments in this ASU are not intended to result in significant changes to current accounting principles. ASU 2025-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted, and entities may elect to adopt the amendments on an issue-by-issue basis. The Company adopted ASU 2025-12 during the first quarter of fiscal year 2026, which changes the accounting for treasury share retirements. Under the new guidance, the Company elected to recognize the excess of the repurchase price over par value entirely as a reduction from additional paid-in-capital (“APIC”), provided that APIC remains positive. This policy change is reflected within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of stockholders’ equity, and “Note 7. Treasury Shares and Share Repurchase Program.” The adoption did not impact the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income or the statements of cash flows.
