Tj Maxx Sugarhouse (2024)

FAQs

What is the TJ Maxx scandal? ›

In March, the Center for Environmental Health released a report alleging that retailers including Ross, Burlington, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Nordstrom Rack (JWN) may have sold fast-fashion items containing "shockingly high levels of lead."

Maxx: In 1976, T.J. Maxx was founded in Framingham, Massachusetts, 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".

Unlike brands and stores that lock in their inventory six months to a year in advance, TJX and other off-price chains buy surplus merchandise to sell it right away. They also capitalize on orders that have been canceled or when companies manufacture too many items.

TJ Maxx is known for its ever-changing inventory. Stores typically receive new shipments several times a week, but the most substantial restocks often happen on weekdays. This means that if you're looking for the freshest selection, a weekday visit is your best bet.

TJ Maxx and Marshalls operate as sister stores, and share a similar footprint throughout the country.

(NewsNation Now) — Bad news for bargain shoppers: Designer brands are expected to be pulled from discount chains like T.J. Maxx, Ross and Burlington due to global supply chain issues. Designers like Levi's, Under Armour, Ralph Lauren, Carter's and Steve Madden have decided to sell their clothing at full price.

Additionally, TJ Maxx often carries higher-end designer items and a wide jewelry selection, while Marshalls has larger men's and youth sections; however, Ross is known for often offering the lowest prices between all three retailers, according to Go Banking Rates.

Ross Stores, Inc. is an American chain of off-price department stores headquartered inPleasanton, California,[4] operating under the name Ross Dress for Less. It is the third largest off-price retailer in the United States, behind T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, both of which are owned by TJX Companies.

Nordstrom Rack is probably one of the biggest competitors to TJ Maxx. Ultimately, the two stores sell very similar products.

According to the TJ Maxx website, stores receive fresh shipments “several times a week, with each delivery containing thousands of items.” Online inventory is updated almost daily, which only increases your chances of finding something you love, no matter how or when you choose to shop.

What day are markdowns at TJ Maxx? ›

TJ Maxx does markdowns on Monday or Wednesday mornings. They don't restock on Saturday and Sunday. For the best selection, shop midday on a Monday through Friday.

Our buyers are opportunistic and entrepreneurial. When a designer or manufacturer overproduces or other stores overbuy, we swoop in, negotiate the best possible price, and pass the savings on.
