Big brand-name department stores such as Macy's and JCPenney are pulling back and closing stores in this struggling economy. But lucky for shoppers, discount retailers like TJ Maxx are still increasing their location footprint. 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

- 1919 Boston Post Road, Ste 310
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

- 5300-B Wisconsin Ave. N.W.
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

- 446 18th St. West
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
/images/2025/08/20/tj-maxx-discount-retail-storefront.jpg)
- 1233 North Lake Dr., Suite E
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
/images/2025/08/20/night-view-of-tj-maxx-store-entrance.jpg)
- 945 North Main St., Suite F
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

- 9850 Brook Road
The good news for Virginia shoppers is that the new TJ Maxx in Glen Allen is already open. It opened its doors on Aug. 10, and to mark the opening, the company committed to donating $10,000 to the Virginia Home for Boys & Girls.
How many TJ Maxx locations are there?

Uncertain times call for a review of expenses that goes beyond simple cost-cutting. Here are some steps for you to consider:
- Build a 6-month emergency fund. Prioritize this above other financial goals.
- Compare rates on big ticket items like auto insurance to make sure you aren't overpaying.
- Delay major purchases when possible.
- Consider a side hustle that can generate income with minimal startup costs.
During challenging economic periods, try to focus on what you can control. And remember that financial resilience isn't built overnight.
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
