TJX also oversees TJ Maxx, HomeGoods, Sierra and HomeSense stores and bills itself as an “off-price apparel and home fashion retailer.” The company was founded in 1976 and operates more than 5,200 stores in nine countries on three continents, according to its website. The company said in its fourth quarter earnings report that it currently owns and operates more than 1,250 Marshalls stores.
Marshalls will open four stores in four different states in late April, according to its website. CEO Ernie Herman said the company’s goal is to open at least 1,300 additional stores across TJX’s store portfolio in 2024.
Where will the new Marshalls store be opened?
According to the retailer’s website, new stores are scheduled to open on dates in 2026 at the following locations:
- April 23rd: 1310 Oklahoma Ave., Woodward, Oklahoma
- April 23rd: 850 3rd Avenue, Brooklyn, New York
- April 23rd: 900 DeKalb Plaza Blvd., Fort Payne, AL
- April 30th: 1610 Church St., Conway, SC
In addition to the stores listed, Marshall’s recently opened stores in Texas, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Florida.
What does Marshalls sell?
Similar to TJ Maxx, Marshalls sells products across multiple categories, including clothing, home, and beauty. Other items include Halloween decorations, pet toys, cosmetics, luggage, and more.
In 2019, TJX launched Marshalls.com, an e-commerce site for Marshalls, allowing customers to shop online.
The brand’s first two stores opened in Massachusetts in 1977, and the company acquired Marshall’s in 1995, according to the TJX website. At the time, Marshalls was the second largest off-price retailer in the United States with 496 stores.
