is this company even alive anymore?

Ive been to a number of states lately and I cant find a single TJ Maxx anywhere. Murakumo-Elite (talk) 06:01, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Dude I work at one... We are alive and busier then EVER. (99% sure it's because of the recession.) (We do have prices lower than anyone.) SE KinG. ^{User page.} _Talk. 01:42, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Stores are experiencing double digit increases in sales from last year. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.206.104.181 (talk • contribs) 03:38, 25 June 2009

TK Maxx vs T.K. Maxx

Why TK Maxx without periods, whereas the T.J. Maxx article has periods? In the "TJX Companies, Incorporated" template, T.K. Maxx has periods, but the TK Maxx article title and the article itself don't. 86.152.203.212 06:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if this is the actual reason, but I think the use of fullstops ("periods" in the US) in acronyms and abbreviations is pretty much an American thing. I'm not saying it doesn't happen over here, but in my job for example, house style when writing to clients is always "Mr A B Citizen" rather than "Mr. A. B. Citizen". I know that USA, NBC, VP never take periods even in America, but there's a range of uses for periods that don't appear in Britain: apt., oz. 91.109.225.17 (talk) 21:57, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

The official name of the company, according to its owners TJX, appears to be "T.K. Maxx" (see http://www.tjx.com/business/businesses_tkmaxx.html), but this is styled as "T.K.Maxx" (no space) in signage and on the company's own web sites, and is often styled "TK Maxx" (without periods) in line with UK convention. Using a mixture of styles in the article doesn't seem helpful, so I've updated it to use what appears to be the official name ("T.K. Maxx") throughout, and mentioned the alternative styles for clarity. mooncow 18:18, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

"T.J.Maxx" versus "T.J. Maxx"

I was on their website and I didn't see anywhere where "T.J. Maxx" was used (with the space). Should this article be renamed "T.J.Maxx"? Jesant13 (talk) 23:19, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

That's a good question. The official name of the company, according to its owners TJX, appears to be "T.J. Maxx" (see http://www.tjx.com/business/businesses_tjmaxx.html), but this is styled as "T.J.Maxx" (no space) in signage and on the company's own web sites.

Maxx") throughout, and mentioned the alternative styles for clarity. mooncow 18:20, 28 November 2015 (UTC)

Date confusion?

Article says, "In 2003, T.K. Maxx became locked in a dispute over its plans to open a store at Piccadilly Circus, London. It had signed an agreement in February 2009...", if the agreement was signed in 2009, how could the dispute start in 2003? It seems this section must be wrong from common sense point of view, but I don't know how to correct it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.150.129.146 (talk) 21:44, 26 June 2014 (UTC)

Agreed, looks like a typo. Sources all agree dispute was in 2009. Fixed. mooncow 18:07, 28 November 2015 (UTC)
