Marshalls will grow its U.S. presence with the opening of seven new retail stores between October 15, 2026, and October 29, 2026. This expansion comes as part of a broader strategy by parent company The TJX Companies to scale its global retail operations.

Why it matters

These additions reflect a continued commitment from the retailer to increase brick-and-mortar accessibility for consumers across the country. The growth supports the company's long-term goal of scaling its international portfolio to reach new markets.

As of August 2026, The TJX Companies operated 1,267 Marshalls stores in the U.S. and 112 in Canada. The company currently manages more than 5,200 total stores across 10 countries.

The players

The TJX Companies

This is a global off-price retailer that operates brands including Marshalls and T.J. Maxx.

Marshalls

This is a chain of American off-price department stores that sells apparel, home fashions, and lifestyle goods.

The details

The new stores will feature the brand's selection of apparel, home goods, and seasonal items including Halloween decorations and pet supplies. The expansion includes locations in Malone, New York; Mercedes, Texas; Virginia, Minnesota; Lawrence, Massachusetts; Concord, New Hampshire; Circleville, Ohio; and Nacogdoches, Texas.

Timeline

  1. The first T.J. Maxx stores opened in Massachusetts in 1977.

  2. TJX Companies was formed in 1987.

  3. The company acquired Marshalls in 1995.

  4. Marshalls launched an e-commerce website in 2019.

  5. Seven new Marshalls stores will open between October 15, 2026, and October 29, 2026.

Market Landscape

This move follows the goal of The TJX Companies to open at least 1,300 additional global locations across its portfolio. These openings reinforce the company's competitive position as an off-price retail leader against other large-scale domestic retailers.

Shoppers in the affected regions will gain local access to the retailer's assortment of home and fashion goods starting in late October. Customers can expect standard off-price pricing structures consistent with existing store locations in the national network.

The takeaway

Retailers continue to balance physical store expansions with e-commerce options to reach a wider demographic. Consumers should check local listings in late October to confirm exact opening dates for new stores in their specific areas.

What happens next

The seven new locations are scheduled to hold their respective grand openings between October 15, 2026, and October 29, 2026.
