Stores under the umbrella of discount retail giant TJX reopened for business in Connecticut this week.
Marshalls, TJ Maxx and HomeGoods stores across the state reopened their doors on Monday following a ten-week shutdown due to the coronavirus pandemic.
More than 1,600 TJX stores had already reopened for business during the second half of May.
“As the COVID-19 pandemic has evolved, our company has continued to prioritize the health and well-being of our associates, customers and the communities we serve,” TJX CEO and President Ernie Herman wrote in a letter dated May 9.Â
The company closed stores in nine countries, as well as distribution centers and offices worldwide during the second week of March.
For locations that do reopen, strict guidelines will be in place. “We care deeply about the health and well-being of our valued associates and customers, and for this reason, expect all customers who shop in our stores to wear a face covering,” Herman said in the announcement.
The websites for TJ Maxx and Marshalls have been open for limited online sales.
All three TJX brand stores in Connecticut are open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sunday.
