I will say that "TJ Maxx" has been one of my major go-to stores for new, discounted merchandise…read more Since they are a subsidiary of Marshalls (which focuses on more discounted products) and HomeGoods (which is primarily non-clothing/apparel), all of their stores are unique in their own way. Located directly on Madison Ave and adjacent to Hazel Ave at the Madison Marketplace shopping center in Fair Oaks, this TJ Maxx store has been in operation dating back to around 2008-09. It neighbors many major retailers such as Raley's, Dollar Tree, Jamba Juice, Chipotle, and much more.
On any given day, the parking lot can fill up quickly but in the few dozen times I have shopped here, I have not had any issues. As for the hours of operation, they are open 7 days a week from 9:30am-9:30pm. Upon entry, you will notice how open, well-lit, and spacious the interior layout is. The registers and checkout are to the immediate left while the fitting rooms are in the middle right hand side of the store. And if you need to use the restroom, they offer both a men's and women's restrooms towards the rear part of the store.
As for the merchandise itself, TJ Maxx specializes in a variety of men's, women's, children's, and baby apparel as well as shoes, socks, hats, and loungeware. Additionally, their selection of beauty products, handbags, jewelry, accessories, and luggage is quite impressive. Finally, they carry a decent amount of home products that include candles, towels, sheets, comforters, bath, kitchen, furniture, outdoor items, and even a very sizable amount of food products. I have found TJ Maxx to be the hybrid store as they have much of what Marshalls offers (at slightly higher prices) as well as HomeGoods (at slightly lower prices).
To sum things up, the Fair Oaks "TJ Maxx" is one of their better locations in the greater Sacramento area. I've purchased a ton of name brand apparel over the years. This includes major labels such as Calvin Klein, Tommy Bahama, Adidas, Polo, Nike, Tommy Hilfiger, and much more. And considering you're paying much less than you would be at say a Macy's or Nordstrom, your money can go much further. When you factor in the above average customer service, reasonable prices, well-stocked merchandise, and a decent shopping experience, I am giving them a respectable four-star rating.
