The TJX Companies has closed at least four TJ Maxx stores in 2026, according to Inc., even as the off-price retailer continues to grow its overall store base. The closures include locations in Gilbert, Arizona; Boston, Massachusetts; Silver Spring, Maryland; and Cumberland, Maryland. TJX CFO John Klinger said on the company's latest earnings call that strong comparable growth has given the retailer the ability to place stores closer together than previously thought, and that smaller-format stores allow expansion in densely populated urban areas. During the second quarter of fiscal 2027, TJX reported net sales climbed 5% year over year, consolidated comparable sales increased 4%, and diluted earnings per share rose 24% to $1.36. In the fiscal quarter ended Aug. 1, 2026, TJX increased its total store count by 23 locations to 5,285 stores and grew total square footage by 0.4% compared with the prior quarter, and it plans to accelerate store openings to 4% beginning next year with a long-term goal of 7,500 locations globally.
