FRAMINGHAM, Mass. — The parent company of T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, which have taken a bigger share of clothing spending by selling popular brands at deep discounts, plans to expand even faster and test a new home store that's different from its highly successful HomeGoods chain.
TJX Cos. says it will add 1,800 stores for a global total of 5,600 over the long term. TJX has been one of the bright spots in retailing since the Great Recession.
