“TJX Cos History
The TJX Companies, Inc. traces its history back to 1919 when brothers Max and Morris Feldberg founded New England Trading Company in Boston, Massachusetts. This business prospered and in 1929 the Feldbergs opened their first retail store, devoted to selling ladies hosiery. Twenty years later, their one store had grown into a chain of women’s apparel stores that stretched from New England to Washington D.C. In the mid-1950’s, the next generation of Feldbergs – Stanley and Sumner – set out to build upon what their fathers had established – and the Zayre discount department store chain was born. Zayre Stores stood for offering convenience, selection and outstanding value for the whole family.
In the mid-70’s, a young and talented merchant, Ben Cammarata, was offered an opportunity to build a new off-price chain, and under his leadership, T.J. Maxx was born. With the success of T.J. Maxx, the Company grew into The TJX Companies, Inc., which today is the leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions in the United States and worldwide, offering great fashion, quality, and brand names at excellent values, every day.”
