A national retailer is bringing two stores in one to Chesterfield.
TJX Companies, the Massachusetts-based company that owns T.J. Maxx, Marshalls and HomeGoods, plans to open a T.J.Maxx/HomeGoods combination store May 26.
The 52,000-square-foot store will open in Chesterfield Towne Center on Midlothian Turnpike and Huguenot Road.
“It was a great opportunity to have two brands under the same roof,” said Philip Tracey, spokesperson for HomeGoods.
The company has 46 other combo stores, but this will be the first in the Richmond area. It will be the second HomeGoods to open locally. The first opened in Glen Allen in October 2009.
T.J.Maxx’s store on Carmia Way off Midlothian Turnpike will relocate to be part of the new combo store, leaving a big box vacancy in the old location.
“We relocated the store because we wanted to enlarge the store and offer our customers more selection,” said Thea Horton, spokesperson for T.J.Maxx.
“We also wanted to provide one-stop shopping for our customers.”
The company plans to hire about 60 full- and part-time employees to staff the store, half of whom will be from the T.J.Maxx store.

Is Chesterfield’s idea of “economic development” having blight move from one location to another?
And, if the deal drags on, maybe here’s an idea for repurposing Cloverleaf Mall … a penal colony !
