TJX Companies is best known for operating the brands TJ Maxx and TK Maxx in the US and Europe respectively. But the Massachusetts-based retail giant also operates several other off-price retailers in North America, such as Marshalls, Sierra and Winners. The Maxx fascias are based on the provision of a rapidly changing, extensive assortment of discounted brand-name merchandise. This is sold through its large-format stores, although it does have several smaller inner-city locations. The wider group concept aims to create a constantly updating, vibrant shopping environment, which encourages customers to visit its stores or website frequently to hunt for bargains. The retailer was slow to launch an online store, but it now has a Maxx website across all its territories.

Discount variety retailer TK Maxx has relaunched its online business more than two weeks after it stopped taking orders having made “significant changes” to operate safely.
Pets at Home has backed the CaRe20 fundraising initiative, donating £100,000 to the cause.
Retail always has been and always will be a people industry. People are the heart and soul of this sector and help make it such a vibrant and dynamic trade for us, as journalists, to have the pleasure of covering.
John Lewis Partnership and TK Maxx parent company TJX Europe have pledged their support to the CaRe20 fundraising campaign.
