ANOTHER major retailer has closed store doors as big box stores struggle nationwide.
TJ Maxx is closing down a Minnesota location, with its final days coming in October.
The closure, which was confirmed by signage on the store's front doors, will be on October 8. This is almost exactly ten years after the location was opened for business.
The Midway store was the last TJ Maxx location in the St. Paul area of Minnesota and employed around 75 people.
"Our T.J. Maxx store at the Midway Marketplace, 1410 University Avenue West, in St. Paul, is expected to close by October 8, 2023. We are always assessing and reviewing our real estate strategies, and our decision to close this store reflects that thinking. We have offered the approximately 55 store Managers and Associates working at this location positions at nearby stores," TJ Maxx said to Bring Me The News.
"We are grateful for the loyalty of our Minnesota customers and invite them to visit our nearby stores to continue to find great values."

Midway was also the location of St. Paul's last Walmart which closed down in 2019.
In the wake of the TJ Maxx closure, and other store closures in recent years, the Midway area is waiting on a revitalization attempt by Minnesota United owner Bill McGuire.
That venture has been long delayed.
Minnesota isn't the only area struggling with store closures. Nationwide retailers have been closing their doors due to struggles with theft and foot traffic.
