history
The TJX Companies was founded in 1956 under the name Zayre Corp. founded. One of the co-founders, Stanley Feldberg, was president of the company until 1978 and then a member of the board of directors until his retirement in 1989. He died in 2004. After the sale of the Zayre brand, TJ Maxx remained as the core of the company's brands. In 1990 the company expanded abroad for the first time with the takeover of the Canadian chain Winners. Two years later, the new Home Goods brand was launched in the USA. In 1994, the brand entered the UK under the TK Maxx brand, and shortly thereafter also in Ireland. In 1995 the Marshalls brand was taken over and merged with TJ Maxx to form the Marmaxx subgroup. The following year, TJX Companies was included in the US index of the largest companies, Standard & Poor's 500. In 1998 the sixth brand, AJ Wright, was launched, followed by another, HomeSense, in Canada in 2001. In 2003 Bob's Stores was taken over and sold again in 2008. At the end of 2010, the company announced the end of the AJ Wright brand and some of the stores were re-flagged to other brands in the group. In 2012 it became known that around 46 million credit and debit card numbers had been copied into the Group's computer systems in 2007 .
