T.J. Maxx is an American department store chain. With more than 1,000 stores, T.J. Maxx is one of the largest clothing retailers in the United States.
The company is part of the TJX Companies, which also owns HomeGoods/HomeSense, and 'off-price' retail chains Sierra Trading Post in the United States, Marshalls in the U.S. and Canada, and Winners in Canada. Under the name T.K. Maxx, its parent company TJX operates stores throughout the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, Australia - trading as TJ Maxx and Trade Secret, Poland, Austria and The Netherlands. It offers men's, women's and children's apparel and shoes, as well as other areas such as toys, bath and beauty, accessories, and home products ranging from furniture to kitchen utensils.
T.J. Maxx and Marshalls operate as sister stores, and share a similar footprint throughout the country. While the two operate at near-identical price points and have similar store layouts, T.J. Maxx differentiates itself from Marshalls by having a more upscale appearance and typically features an expanded assortment of both fine jewelry and accessories. Some higher-volume stores feature a high-end designer department called The Runway.
The CEO of TJX companies is Ernie Herrman.
In 1976, T.J. Maxx was founded in Framingham, Massachusetts by Bernard Cammarata, as a nameplate of the Zayre chain of discount department stores. When Zayre sold their own nameplate to Ames, a rival discount department store, Zayre was renamed as "TJX Companies, Incorporated".
