TJ Maxx Plans to Shutter a Massachusetts Location in Early 2026

TJ Maxx, which is headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts, will be closing a Boston location in early 2026. The U.S. Sun reports the exact date is January 3, 2026. The Newbury Street store closure will leave 100 employees without jobs. However, the company stated that the employees have the option to transfer to another location. According to The U.S. Sun and Boston.com, a spokesperson for TJ Maxx said the following regarding the upcoming closure:

We are always assessing and reviewing our real estate strategies and our decision to close this store reflects that thinking. The Boston area has been the home for our headquarters for nearly 50 years and continues to be a very important market for us.
