T.J. Maxx closed at least two US locations in 2026, including a three-floor Newbury Street store in Boston and the Ellsworth Place location in Silver Spring, Maryland. The Boston store closed on Jan. 5 after nearly a decade, with a Massachusetts WARN notice listing 117 affected workers; roughly 60 workers lost positions at the Maryland store after its decade-long tenure. Earlier reporting also identified a Cumberland, Maryland, closure at 1262 Vocke Road. The closures come as parent TJX Companies expands its portfolio of more than 1,300 T.J. Maxx stores and brands including Marshalls, HomeGoods, HomeSense and Sierra. TJX plans to increase its pace of new store openings to 4% starting in fiscal 2028 and has set a long-term global target of 7,500 locations, while maintaining comparable-sales growth guidance of 3% to 4%. Second-quarter net sales rose to $15.18 billion from $14.4 billion a year earlier, and comparable sales increased 4%, although the Marmaxx division grew 1%.
