FAQs

Is Ross Dress for Less owned by TJ Maxx? ›

Ross Stores, Inc. is an American chain of off-price department stores headquartered inPleasanton, California,[4] operating under the name Ross Dress for Less. It is the third largest off-price retailer in the United States, behind T.J. Maxx and Marshalls, both of which are owned by TJX Companies.

Unlike brands and stores that lock in their inventory six months to a year in advance, TJX and other off-price chains buy surplus merchandise to sell it right away. They also capitalize on orders that have been canceled or when companies manufacture too many items.

We take advantage of a wide variety of opportunities, which can include department store cancellations, a manufacturer making up too much product, or a closeout deal when a vendor wants to clear merchandise at the end of a season, as well as lots of other ways to bring our customers great value.

TJ Maxx was founded in 1976, and together with Marshalls in the U.S., forms Marmaxx, the largest off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions in the U.S. With stores across the country, including Puerto Rico, TJ Maxx also operates an e-commerce site, tjmaxx.com, which launched in 2013.

Additionally, TJ Maxx often carries higher-end designer items and a wide jewelry selection, while Marshalls has larger men's and youth sections; however, Ross is known for often offering the lowest prices between all three retailers, according to Go Banking Rates.

TJ Maxx is known for its ever-changing inventory. Stores typically receive new shipments several times a week, but the most substantial restocks often happen on weekdays. This means that if you're looking for the freshest selection, a weekday visit is your best bet.

Here's where it gets interesting: T.J. Maxx was conceived as a sister store to the already established Zayre discount department store chain. So, why "TJ"? Well, the "T" doesn't really stand for anything specific, nor does the "J".

TJ Maxx actually manufactures their own clothing and has licensing rights to use designer brand names. Most of these items will say “TJX Europe, Watford” on the tag but not always. It takes a trained eye to know which items are actually from a designer brand and which ones are a designer knockoff manufactured by TJX.

All other terms of our policy remain the same:

Original condition means the item is not washed, worn (aside from trying it on), damaged or altered and returned with all hangtags and original packaging where possible. Any item not meeting the condition standards of this policy will be returned at the customer's expense.

What happens to designer clothes that don't sell? ›

Burning stock is said to be the most cost-effective way for luxury brands to protect exclusivity and avoid devaluing their image. Luxury fashion is a status symbol, so burning excess inventory—as opposed to selling it at a discount—maintains the brand's value and sense of exclusivity.

Outside of North America, TJ Maxx is known as TK Maxx. The name was modified to avoid confusion with the British retail chain T. J. Hughes. The European headquarters are based in Watford, Hertfordshire.

Under Armour (UA), Ralph Lauren (RL), Carter's (CRI) and Steve Madden (SHOO) are among the brands that have said in recent weeks they're retreating from discount chains, sometimes called “off-price” stores. Levi's (LEVI) is also walking away from discount stores.

1. The company dates back to 1919. It was founded by two brothers, Max and Morris Feldberg, and was called the New England Trading Company.

Marshalls was acquired by TJX in 1995, and together with TJ Maxx, forms Marmaxx, the largest off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions in the U.S. Marshalls has stores across the U.S., including Puerto Rico.
