T.J. Maxx Sets Opening Date for Southbury Plaza Location

T.J. Maxx, the nation’s largest off-price retailer, has announced doors will unlock for the grand opening of their new Southbury location at 8 a.m. on Sunday, April 1.

The 21,990-square-foot store located in the Southbury Plaza will replace Border’s, which vacated the plaza last year. According to the retailer, the Southbury location will feature a stylish, easy-to-shop layout with a lot of designer accessories and salon and spa products. 

Grand opening hours will run from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on April 1. Regular store hours will be 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays.

In addition to providing a new shopping option for local residents and area workers, the store will add approximately 60 full-and part-time jobs to the area, according the retailer.

“With the addition of the Southbury store, T.J.Maxx is meeting consumer demand for quality, designer merchandise,” said President Richard Sherr in a news release issued Wednesday. “Our newest store will offer shoppers the same designer names they know and trust at prices well below department stores.”

In celebration of its new Southbury location, T.J.Maxx present a $5,000 check to Safe Haven, a women's shelter based in Waterbury that also has a Southbury office.

“We are excited to be a part of the Southbury community and thrilled to be able to give back to the area,” said, Laura McDowell, T.J.Maxx spokeswoman.

T.J. Maxx is the second sizeable addition to the Southbury Plaza in the past six months, joining Panera Bread, which opened its doors in December 2011.
