<h2 class="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading">Background on TJ Maxx: How did it come to be? </h2>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">TJ Maxx was <a href="https://www.tjx.com/company/history" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">founded</a> in 1976 by Bernard (Ben) Cammarata. Ben was asked by the Zayre Corporation to help launch a new line of stores offering everything from apparel to home decor. That new off-price chain would be known as TJ Maxx. In 1987-1989, Zayre regrouped and relaunched as the TJX Companies, which includes its sister store Marshall&#8217;s. Ben Cammarata served as CEO during that time, but retired in 2015. The current CEO of TJX is Ernie Herrman.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">In addition to Marshall&#8217;s, TJX created HomeGoods, HomeSense, and TK Maxx, the UK-version of TJ Maxx. HomeSense is essentially the Canadian version of HomeGoods; the former celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2016, while the latter turned 25 in 2017. </p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size">TJ Maxx opened its 1,000 store in 2012, and Marshall&#8217;s opened its 1,000 store in 2015. TJ Maxx launched its e-commerce site in 2013, and Marshall&#8217;s released theirs just last year. Sometimes they are referred to at the same time under the moniker Marmaxx. </p>
