TJX is a global off-price retailer that sells brand-name apparel and home goods at consistently low prices. It sources excess inventory from manufacturers and other retailers—such as department store cancellations, overproduced items, and closeouts—and then resells it through its chains, including T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, and HomeGoods, with over 4,800 stores worldwide. The product approach uses merchandise bought at a lower cost and offered to consumers at higher margins, avoiding promotional pricing and relying on a steady flow of discounted stock. The company differentiates itself by maintaining everyday low prices rather than running frequent sales, leveraging a large network of buyers to continually refresh inventory, and pursuing ethical business practices across its operations. TJX’s goal is to provide value to customers by offering high-quality, name-brand items at low prices while growing its global store footprint and upholding responsible corporate citizenship.

The store will be at the Canyon Ridge Plaza on the East Hill, 26015 104th Ave. SE., next to the new Burlington store, whose grand opening is Friday, May 8. Both businesses are at the former TOP Food and Drug store location. TJ Maxx is moving from 25406 104th Ave. SE, which is near Staples. "We're thrilled to be in the Kent community," said Nancy Carpenter, TJ Maxx president said in a May 4 press release.

The grand opening is from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. May 14. Regular store hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Sunday. A company spokesperson gave the following response when asked by the Kent Reporter why the store is moving down the street. "We are always assessing and reviewing our real estate strategies, and our decision to relocate this store reflects that thinking," according to a May 4 company email. In celebration of its new location, TJ Maxx will contribute $10,000 to Habitat for Humanity Seattle-King County. The 25,383-square-foot-store will feature easy to shop layout, bright and spacious dressing rooms and single line queue for faster checkout.

David Yurman's fight against jewelry dupes. Alessia Monastero February 27, 2026News In February 2026, luxury jewelry maker David Yurman Enterprises LLC ("David Yurman") filed a copyright infringement complaint against The TJX Companies Inc. ("TJX") in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. While David Yurman is well-known for designing luxury jewelry, watches, and accessories, TJX is the parent company of the discount retailers T.J. Maxx and Marshalls. According to the complaint, TJX sold jewelry at its stores that allegedly copied the distinctive cable and sculpted cable designs which David Yurman holds registered copyrights. A listing of registered copyrights relating to David Yurman's cable pieces can be found here in the US and here in Canada. David Yurman argues that its designs "bear distinctive and original elements and features that have become synonymous with the DAVID YURMAN brand..." and argues that these dupes are indistinguishable from its authentic products. While various TJX stores sell non-luxury items, many do also offer discounted luxury items, which further leads to confusion amongst consumers. David Yurman's filing seeks various forms of relief, including a court injunction to stop further sales of the infringing items, monetary damages, and an order requiring TJX to destroy remaining inventory of the copied jewelry. While trademark protection has been at the core of various luxury brand disputes, this case focuses on copyright protection for artistic expression in jewelry design. Yurman argues that its sculptural cable designs are original works of creative expression that qualify for copyright protection. The complaint further cites instances of consumers sharing on social media their "David Yurman finds", further emphasizing the close similarity between the products and risk for confusion amongst consumers. By targeting a major discount retailer like TJX, David Yurman's latest lawsuit highlights the company's broader strategy of policing its intellectual property across the marketplace, including at established brick-and-mortar retailers. The outcome of this case will likely be watched closely by designers and retailers alike, as it may influence the scope of copyright protection with respect to preserving design exclusivity in an industry where imitation products and the "dupe economy" continue to grow.
Telsey Advisory has raised its price target on The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:TJX) to $175 from $170, maintaining an Outperform rating. The analyst cited the off-price retailer's strong performance despite ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty. TJX reported fourth-quarter 2025 results exceeding expectations, with comparable sales rising 5% and full-year net sales surpassing $60 billion for the first time. Full-year comparable sales also increased 5%, whilst profitability improved and earnings per share grew at double-digit rates. CEO Ernie Herrman said the company is investing in marketing, new store formats and remodels to maintain customer interest. TJX operates Marmaxx and HomeGoods in the US, alongside divisions in Canada, Europe and Australia, focusing on its treasure-hunt shopping experience.
Lowe's and TJX Companies reported contrasting quarterly results, with TJX shares climbing whilst Lowe's declined despite both beating estimates. Lowe's posted adjusted earnings per share of $1.98, beating the $1.94 estimate, with revenue of $20.58 billion up 10.9% year-over-year, largely through acquisitions. However, comparable sales rose just 1.3% and operating margin contracted 41 basis points. The company's fiscal 2026 guidance disappointed, with midpoint EPS essentially flat versus fiscal 2025 at $12.50, reflecting continued housing market pressures. TJX delivered stronger results with adjusted EPS of $1.43 versus $1.39 expected and 5% comparable sales growth. The off-price retailer expanded margins 60 basis points to 12.2% and surpassed $60 billion in annual revenue. TJX guided to 2-3% comparable sales growth for fiscal 2027.
