In Bangor ME, there is a Tjmaxx'n more.  It's a Tjmaxx but with more stuff in bigger departments.  Many products in the kitchen & home aisles had HomeGoods price tags!  

That store is located in a former Zayre/Ames...

Yes, the Zayre look is clearly visible.  Zayre and Tjmaxx were part of TJX.  

That store was one of the first Zayre in Maine.  It became Ames after the acquisition.  Then Ames moved to the larger vacant Rich's.  Tj maxx jumped on the former Ames/Zayre location.  

TJX probably knew well the Zayre locations.  So when an Ames store closed, they would pick the location to re-enter that market but with Tjmaxx instead of Zayre.

Here's a shot of the renovation-in-progress TJ Maxx in Bristol, CT on Route 6. To my knowledge, this store's facade has remained original from the mid-1960s when this plaza was built. This is also the last building to have received a renovation in this dramatically revitalized plaza.

*Sigh* The renovations have been going on in that plaza for so long. I went to the plaza the same day I  took those pictures of the abandoned mall 3 1/2 weeks ago. I thought they would've been finished with TJ MAXX by now. Since your pic was taken the have ripped the front off the building. Here's a picture I took 7/11/06.

The company originally evolved from the Zayre discount department store chain, which opened its first branch of T.J. Maxx in 1976 and its first BJ's Wholesale Club in 1984. In 1988, when Zayre sold their own nameplate to Ames, a rival discount department store chain, the company then renamed itself to TJX Companies, Incorporated."

I was gonna take pix of the new one in Bristol, CT the other day, but some dork who works for the realty company that owns the plaza asked me not to take pix of the plaza. They moved from the old D&L Building into part of the old Super Stop & Shop. They remodeled the building. It doesn't even look like the old S&S.  Ocean State Job Lot is gonna move into the old TJ MAXX. Job Lot was the last tenant in the old Stop & Shop.

They only used half of the old Stop and Shop for TJ Maxx? Is TJ Maxx big inside?

I bet the TJ Maxx logo was taken off the old location and put on the new one, since the old location's storefront was remodeled not long ago. In fact the new TJ Maxx looks exactly the same as the old one. I'm guessing the rest of the plaza looks the same now.

The new TJ MAXX is the same size of the old one, but the building is configured differently than the old one. (The layout is different).

I also forgot TJ's has it corporate office in a suburb of Boston, which is why the store has a Redsux and Crapriots bias. *GRR*

It's only distinguishable as a TJ Maxx due to the front wall of the store, and the enter/exit stickers on the front doors.

I honestly don't know why TJ Maxx was in such a hurry to move their Waterbury, CT store from Wolcott Street to the old Shaw's in The Brass Mill Commons. They ended up with a smaller location than their old Wolcott Street store and by TJ Maxx standards it is undersized. If they had waited to move to the Brass Mill Commons until the end of 2014 they could've taken the old Office Max. It would've give tem a larger store than their old Wolcott Street location and it would've been more in-line with the size of a typical TJ Maxx store.

TJ MAXX in Bristol, Connecticut is remodeling. The store hasn't even been open 10 years yet. This fall it will be 6 or 7 years that they've been open. They moved from one part of the Bristol Plaza to the other in part of the old Stop & Shop which was very briefly Ocean State Job Lot.
