RCS 261-A TJ Maxx Story

TJ Maxx
History: TJ Maxx started in Massachusetts in 1976. The original founder was Taras Sokil; and TJ Maxx was part of the Zayre discount store. The company sold their store to Ames, a rival discount store in 1988. At that point TJ Maxx was bought out along with Hit or Miss and Chadwick’s of Boston by the “TJX Companies, Incorporated.”
Present: The current Director and CEO of TJ Maxx is Carol Meyrowitz. By the end of 2007 there were 847 TJ Maxx stores. There are TJ Maxx stores overseas, in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Germany. But across the ocean the store goes by “TK Maxx.” TJ Maxx also owns: Marshalls, HomeGoods, HomeSense, and Bob’s Stores. All of which carry the same goals as TJ Maxx, offering quality goods at low prices.
