TJ Maxx is TK Maxx in Europe. Hannah Docter-LoebTJ Maxx is an American discount store dating back to the 1970s, and the company opened its first European location in the 90s. But the UK was already home to a discount store called TJ Hughes, which opened in the early 1900s. TJ Maxx changed its European-branch name to TK Maxx to avoid confusion. My first week, my boots broke, and my TK Maxx replacements have lasted me the entire trip.

☆ Prince Harry said he loves shopping annual discounts at TK Maxx, but the retailer says it doesn't 'do sales'

Prince Harry expressed a fondness for discounted clothes in his new memoir, "Spare." In it, he said he would shop the "once-a-year sale" at TK Maxx, the UK equivalent of T.J. Maxx in the US. But parent company TJX said it doesn't "do sales," instead offering "savings all year round." "We don't actually do sales," a TJX spokesperson told Express, though the company is "delighted" that the Duke of Sussex is a fan of the brand. Still another problem with Prince Harry's story is that neither Gap nor J.Crew appear to be carried at TK Maxx — searches for each on the company's website yield no results, and Insider has asked for clarification from all three brands.
