Along with its sister companies Marshalls and HomeGoods, TJ Maxx has managed to stay afloat as traditional retailers and department stores struggle, thanks to its loyal fan base and savvy business model. Its parent company, TJX Cos., consistently reports positive quarterly sales growth, including most recently in August, when it reported that comparable sales grew by 2% in the second quarter of 2019. According to the shopping expert Michelle Madhok, TJ Maxx's primary appeal is the opportunity it offers for discovery. It's a place where shoppers come seeking bargains for items on their shopping list and uncover unexpected deals.“The fun thing about TJ Maxx is the hunt,” Madhok, who runs the shopping website SheFinds.com, told Business Insider. “It's for someone who likes novelty in shopping. If you know exactly what you want, you can go on Amazon and get it delivered. TJ Maxx is for someone who enjoys the activity of shopping.”Another expert tip is to hit TJ Maxx on Wednesdays, which is when most of the stores restock with new products, Madhok said. Shoppers can also plan around the retailer's annual sales in January and July. With such an expansive product assortment, it can be tough to identify the best bargains.
