HomeSense is a chain of off-price home furnishing stores operated by TJX Companies with stores in Canada and Europe.
As of 2014, HomeSense operates over 100 stores including its "Mega-stores" which include full Winners and HomeSense stores combined. The Canadian chain is similar to TJX's HomeGoods chain in the United States.
HomeSense operates along with Winners in Canada both of which share common ownership with TJX Companies.
Homesense specializes in home furnishings, selling products that range from low end to name brand. Prices tend to be competitive to account for minor defects or discontinued lines however they also carry products that are in excellent condition. Some of their items can also be found in other department stores.
In April 2008, TJX launched the HomeSense brand in the United Kingdom. The first store to open was in Poole, and this was closely followed by stores in Cardiff, Bristol, Gloucester, Northampton and Manchester followed by Thurrock in October 2008 and Cambridge in March 2009. By the end of 2009 HomeSense are operating 14 stores and have opened an additional 6 stores between August and November in Worcester, Birmingham, Preston, Romford, Staples Corner (London) and Nottingham. HomeSense have plans for approx 150 stores in the UK & Ireland over the next 5–7 years, and has alluded to expansion in continental Europe in the future. In 2010 HomeSense plans to open stores in Reading, Chichester, Tunbridge Wells, and Chester. The HomeSense flagship store is located in Westfield Merry Hill, Dudley, England, and opened in May 2010.
