"TJ Maxx and Marshalls are two of the best-known discount department stores in the US, but they are not the same, as I discovered this holiday season. While the two stores are owned by the same parent company, The TJX Companies, each has a different mission. TJ Maxx calls itself "a one-stop for quality, value, and the coveted brands you know and love,""
"During visits to the stores in New York City in December, I noticed the difference in quality between the two, but that wasn't the only contrast. The Marshalls I visited was more crowded, perhaps contributing to my feeling it was in disarray, while TJ Maxx was emptier, but also felt more organized. Marshalls and TJ Maxx stores vary between locations, so while my experience was consistent with my previous visits to the stores, it may not be true of all locations."
TJ Maxx focuses on higher-end brands, jewelry, and accessories and positions itself as a one-stop for quality, value, and coveted brands. Marshalls emphasizes an expanded men's department and a larger shoe department with styles for women, men, and kids. Visits in New York City during December revealed a contrast: Marshalls appeared more crowded and in disarray with smaller selections, while TJ Maxx appeared emptier, better organized, and stocked with higher-quality products. Store conditions vary by location and experiences may differ. Some items at TJ Maxx were more expensive. The TJX Companies did not respond to a request for comment.
