Get ready for some exciting retail news! Marshalls, the beloved off-price retailer, is expanding its empire with nine new stores across the nation. But this isn't just any ordinary expansion; it's part of a bold vision set by TJX CEO Ernie Herrman, who aims to dominate the off-price market.
But here's the catch: these new stores are just a fraction of the company's ambitious growth plan. Back in 2024, Herrman announced a goal to open over 1,300 new stores globally across the TJX family, which includes T.J. Maxx, HomeGoods, Sierra, and HomeSense. And they're well on their way, with a net increase of 34 stores in the US alone this year, and more to come before 2025 ends.
So, where can you find these new Marshalls stores? Mark your calendars for these grand openings:
- October 23: Roseville, Minnesota, and Winsted, Connecticut
- October 30: Marshall, Missouri, and Bishop, California
- November 6: Madisonville, Kentucky
- November 13: Luray, Virginia, Calhoun, Georgia, and Leesburg, Florida
These locations are just the tip of the iceberg, as Marshalls has also recently expanded into South Dakota, Alabama, Tennessee, Illinois, and New Mexico.
Marshalls offers a wide array of products, from clothing and home decor to beauty items and even Halloween decorations. And with the launch of their e-commerce site in 2019, shoppers can now browse and buy from the comfort of their homes.
The brand's history is just as fascinating. Marshalls, acquired by TJX in 1995, has its roots in Massachusetts, where its first two stores opened in 1977. At the time, it was the second-largest off-price retailer in the US, and it's only grown since then.
