TJX Company Stores – Affordable Current Fashion
Fashion is important to most people in today’s society. Whether asking a 16-year old high school girl or a ten-year-old football player, most people want to wear the trends of the week. Keeping up with the Kardashian fashion can be costly, but also parents keeping children happy and dressed fashionably extremely stressful. In the past, I worried about shopping for myself, my husband, and our children. I want my family to have the Kardashian style but do not want to pay top dollar on clothing for my family of five. By discovering TJX Company stores, all my problems were solved. With a growing business, multiple stores, great pricing, clearance, brand name products, and wide variety, TJX Company stores are the best places to shop for the current Kardashian trends.
TJX Company stores include T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, Sierra Trading Post, Winners, and HomeSense. TJX Companies Inc. is the leading off-price merchandiser in the U.S. and worldwide. The company currently has 4,000 stores in nine countries, across three continents. With multiple stores under the same ownership, retailers have more than 2,000 locations in the United States and keep growing to meet the demands of bargain shoppers. There are more than 500 HomeGoods stores nationwide. While traditional department stores and retailers have been struggling lately, T.J. Maxx and Marshalls have thrived. The corporate plans on opening thousands of new stores. With these companies growing, it has become just as convenient to shop at a TJX Company location as shopping at the mall.
Most people believe the mall is the best place to shop for any needs, I personally disagree. Shopping is my favorite hobby. I have enjoyed shopping as far as I can remember. Through my experience, I believe TJX Company stores have much lower pricing. Some may wonder how TJX stores sale their merchandise at great prices and think something has to be wrong with the products. That is definitely not the case, last year I bought my daughter Jordan True Flight shoes from Champs in the Barboursville Mall for $50 just to find them at Marshalls a week later for $25. While at Marshalls, I bought the same shoes in a different color and there was no difference from the shoes I had purchased at Marshall then the ones from Champs. The shoes purchased from Champs and Marshalls are still in good condition. In fact, I will now hand both pairs down to my younger daughter to wear when she is able. I truly believe first-hand the products sold at TJX stores are the same quality as products sold in big name department stores. TJX corporate employees negotiate throughout the year for the hottest brand name and designer fashions of the season for families and to accessorize the home. The company employees also buy from many vendors. When, a designer overproduces or other stores overbuy, TJX corporate employees negotiate a price with those department stores and then sale the products at TJX Company stores. TJX stores sale their merchandise for 20% - 60% below full-price retailers. TJX Company stores are not classified as an outlet store, but simply an off-price retailer. If shoppers still have not jumped on the bandwagon, just look at a few examples. Commonly bought Richly Scented candles are sold on Amazon for $22.02, but T.J. Maxx sales them for $7.99. The popular Adidas prime backpack is sold on Amazon for $41.55, while T.J. Maxx sales that item for $39.99. Who loves The North Face brand? Amazon sales The North Face men’s jacket for $199, but the same jacket is sold at T.J. Maxx for $129.99. These are only a few of the many bargains at TJX. I believe any product shoppers find at a retail store or online can be found at one of the TJX Company stores for a much lower price.
To get the best quality merchandise at the best price, it is imperative to shop TJX’s clearance racks and at specific times of the week or a specific time of the year. While clearance racks may be 20% - 60% off, TJX Company stores also have clearance. Regular pricing starts well below department store prices, which makes TJX Company clearance racks unbelievably affordable. While shopping at TJX locations, white tags are regular bargain price, red tags are clearance price, and yellow tags are final clearance prices. Looking for a good price on shoes? Clear out season occurs two months every year, January and July. Shoppers can find extremely low prices during those months. With that being said, there is always a clearance aisle for all merchandise throughout the year. In addition to getting the best buys in January and July, early in the week is the best time to shop for clearance items at these stores while later in the week and into the weekend is the best time if shopping for new arrival items. Along with the hottest fashions of the week, popular brand name products are necessity. While most the time brand name products are extremely expensive, TJX Company stores carry many brand name products for discounted pricing. No two stores are the same and products vary from week to week. Monday Marshalls may sale pink and black Nike jumpers, but by Thursday they no longer have jumpers, but are selling red Nike dresses. Marshalls tends to carry more name brands like American Eagle, Hollister, Forever 21, Kate Spade, Jordan, Nike, Under Armour, and many more (“Kyle”). Marshalls offers many brand name children’s clothing. Most parents can find cute Jordan, Nike, and Under Armour clothing in infant and toddler sizes. TJ Maxx carries a couple brands that Marshalls does not. Still with a lower price, but yet more expensive, shoppers will find other brands, such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Dooney & Burke, Hollister, and Vera Bradley (“Kyle”). I prefer to shop at TJ Maxx for accessories such as purses, fashion jewelry, and shoes. I could easily spend hours in HomeGoods, shopping for anything home related from pictures to hang in the living room to outdoor decorations. Home renovators can redo an entire home strictly using products sold at a local HomeGoods location. I have never had a bad experience while shopping at HomeGoods. In my opinion, every TJX Company store has its own perks. Depending on what I am shopping for will determine which TJX location is best for that shopping spree.
TJX Company stores have a wide variety. T.J. Maxx has an expanded selection of jewelry, while HomeGoods is often called a home section on steroids. TJX Company Inc. believes life’s better with surprises. That is why surprises are in the stores every day; no two stores are ever the same. TJX Company retailers buy seasonally, with new name brand and designer fashions arriving several times a week. “If you love it, you better buy it!” These stores do not hold replenishment stock in the back room and often the store managers do not know what is coming until delivery truck doors are opened. Whether personal fashion style is classic, understated, eclectic, or super-trendy, shoppers will be Kardashian ready with money still left in their pockets.
