If you feel like club stores are more popular than they've ever been in Maine, it's not your imagination.

Club stores across the nation have entered a 'golden age', where places like Sam's Club and Costco are seeing more members coming through their doors to save money on everything from essentials to groceries.

There's also a matter of convenience. Club stores have really pushed to make things like carside pickup and same-day delivery options at most locations.

Believe it or not, there's only one club store that operates in Portland, Maine. That's BJ's Wholesale Club and they're undergoing some renovations in hopes of bringing more customers through the door.
