FRAMINGHAM, Mass., July 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Homesense, a
new off-price home concept from The TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:
TJX), will open its initial U.S. store this August in Framingham, MA. With four store openings
planned by the end of 2017, Homesense will offer on-trend,
high-quality home merchandise at a great value.
Homesense will offer a shopping experience that complements its
sister chain, HomeGoods, by offering expanded departments such as
large-scale furniture, lighting and art, as well as new departments
like a general store. While sharing the same name, the Homesense
concept in the U.S. will differ from stores bearing the same name
in Europe or Canada. Rooted in inspiration and discovery,
shoppers will be invited to uncover exciting finds from around the
world with a greater depth of merchandise in certain categories to
fuel inspiration, such as:
- A broad assortment of furniture. – Customers may find oversized
upholstery, such as sectionals and sofas, futons and day beds, as
well as leather furniture and expanded at-home workplace
essentials, such as desks, bookcases and filing cabinets.
- Accent décor conceptually displayed to entice the senses and
inspire new discovery. – This may include oversize rugs up to 14
feet long, as well as rounds, runners and scatters; a wide variety
of hanging chandeliers and brightly lit lamps displayed
individually in dedicated cubbies so that shoppers can more easily
picture them in their own home; and a chair gallery where shoppers
may discover everything from dining chairs to bar stools as well as
pillows, poufs and ottomans of different sizes and shapes for
comfortable, stylish lounging options.
- Expansive displays of art, mounted for gallery-style shopping.
– Free-standing fixtures and oversized easels to complement the
in-store gallery wall and help customers visualize the fit in their
spaces.
- Entertaining options for holidays and other special occasions.
– Customers may find unique bar and game room furniture, such as
card tables, pool tables, foosball tables and more, and an expanded
selection of gifting items and wrapping essentials, making
Homesense a go-to stop for at-home entertaining.
- A "General Store" with all things organization, cleaning and
home improvement. – Customers can discover hardware merchandise for
the home, such as mailboxes, door stops, toolkits and fireplace
needs; storage options like cubbies, storage lockers and more; and
outdoor options like garden storage and furniture covers.
"Just as our customers enjoy shopping both TJ Maxx and
Marshalls, we are confident that loyal customers and new shoppers
alike will be excited about shopping both Homesense and HomeGoods,"
said John Ricciuti, President of
HomeGoods and Homesense in the U.S. "As the U.S. home market
continues to grow, we are excited to bring consumers an expanded
selection of quality merchandise at incredible prices, along with a
new shopping experience in which they can discover and curate the
home of their dreams."
The first Homesense store will open on August 17 in Framingham, MA, with special grand opening day
hours of 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Regular store hours are Monday through Saturday, from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m., and Sunday from 11:00
a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
