In fact, TJ Maxx is opening six new stores in August, spread across four states and the District of Columbia.

Consumers love that TJ Maxx offers great deals on quality brands at serious discounts, with bargains so good they feel like shopping hacks. See all the places that are getting a new TJ Maxx this month and find out if one is near you.

TJ Maxx's expansion plans

These new openings are part of a larger expansion plan to bring an additional 1,300 new locations across various TJX brands to the global market. This includes other stores from across their portfolio, including Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra, and HomeSense stores.

These new stores offer significant potential to the discount department store chain to take over territory previously dominated by more expensive department stores. Here are the cities that are expecting new locations soon.

Guilford, Connecticut

The store in Guilford Commons opens on Aug. 21, and shoppers can celebrate the grand opening at the new location from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. This one is replacing one in the Clinton Town Center shopping plaza that will close on Aug. 18

Washington, District of Columbia

A new TJ Maxx is coming to Friendship Heights on Aug. 28. This news might be a relief to locals who have been wondering about the closed signs in the window of the Marshalls across the street. The two are sister stores owned by the same parent company, TJX, and the new location will likely meet the needs of customers who previously frequented Marshalls.

Dickinson, North Dakota

A new TJ Maxx will open on Aug. 24 in Dickinson. This will be the sixth location in the state and will bring the discount department store finds to a new market that would otherwise have a far drive to shop in person.

Shopping pro tip: This month's best deals

August is here, and with it comes the final stretch of summer. It’s a great time to soak up the season and scoop up hot deals before they fade. Look for savings on:

  • Travel and getaway must-haves
  • Back-to-school basics
  • Clearance swimwear and warm-weather styles
  • For grocery savings, grab peak-season produce, like tomatoes, cucumbers, melons, and berries

As retailers shift their focus to fall, August is the last chance to snag summer essentials at unbeatable prices. Shop smart now before the season (and the savings) slip away.

Saratoga Springs, Utah

This new location coming to Utah will be opening on Aug. 24. The Salt Lake City region already has a dozen stores in the area, so it will be interesting to see if the new locations offer different fare than the others nearby.

Tooele, Utah

According to Indeed postings, several TJ Maxx stores in Utah are seeking to hire associates. The pay rate posted is between $13–$15.50 per hour, so job seekers may want to apply before the grand opening of the two new locations in the state.

The location in Toole will be opening its doors on Aug. 24.

Glen Allen, Virginia

Bottom Line

TJ Maxx isn't shrinking away from brick-and-mortar stores. In fact, the company is hoping to gain further traction by moving into department store deserts that are seeing other stores pack up and leave.

They're betting on the e-commerce market topping out, and customers returning to in-person shopping for things like clothes, furniture, and other items. So, if you've got a new TJ Maxx coming to your area, it might be time to grab your best cash back credit card and see what they've got in store.
