TJX Companies Inc. considers itself “a global, off-price, value retailer.” Its divisions include T.J. Maxx, Marshalls, HomeGoods, and Sierra Trading Post in the United States; Winners, HomeSense, and Marshalls in Canada; and T.K. Maxx in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Germany, and Poland, as well as HomeSense in the UK.
As Beth Kowitt reports for Fortune:
“Is T.J. Maxx the best retail store in the land? The off-price chain has built a fantastically loyal following. How have they done it? We got inside the playbook of parent company TJX. Its annual sales — now $27.4 billion, or more than those of Estée Lauder, Hilton Worldwide, and Hershey combined — have risen 50% over the past six years. Its profits have almost tripled, to $2.1 billion. Its shareholders have been the beneficiaries of 18 consecutive years of earnings-per-share growth. In its nearly-four-decade history, it has had only one year of negative same-store sales. And it does all this by selling blouses…pots and pans…and bedding, sunglasses, sriracha seasoning, yoga mats, and the occasional $1,250 Stella McCartney dress.”
