TJ Maxx & HomeGoods

I had never been to TJ Maxx & HomeGoods before until I dropped by the one in Georgetown… and omigosh, it’s pretty sweet. I have gotten so many random HIGH QUALITY things there…
Marisa, who is the manager of HomeGoods is awesome. I purchased two vintage-​looking wire rolling racks. One had a busted wheel, and Marisa took them with her to hardware stores to see if she could find a match… Shocking, right? I don’t think that I’ve EVER had such amazing customer service from any retail store (not even a luxury department store).
I’ve bought organizers, storage totes, laundry accessories, hangars, simplehuman products, OXO, and the like here for really great prices!!!
Definitely worth a look!

I have not met a bad day that has not been made better without a trip to TJ Maxx. Welcome to my happy place!
I will travel miles for a great deal so I am no stranger to TJ Maxxes of both near and far. That being said, the Georgetown location remains king in my mind. It is twice as big, twice as clean, and three times as stocked as any other store you will encounter on your bargaining travels.
As Keiko mentioned — they carry a ton of specialty organic food items that you can find for about a bazillion dollars at fine markets around town. My favorite snack labels to pick up here are the Buddha Bowl Popcorn and I recently found a few bags of Maui Sweet Onion chips which are literally my favorite export from Hawaii!
I’m mostly attracted to their houseware sections where you can find everything from copper Moscow Mule cups to those cute little chicken shaped egg spatulas they sell at Bed Bath and Beyond to high-​end hand soap for half the price. I always feel fancy when I use my organic lemongrass hand soap that I purchased from here even though it cost me just as much as the liquid Dial you can get at Wal-​Mart.
Other random but awesome finds: Big Sexy Hair products, super high end curling irons and straighteners, spa products, random pots, pans and baking ware, a vegetti, and travel tubes, vials, packing squares, and bags. Also whenever I lose an iPhone charger (about once a month), I can pick some up here for literally 50% off the sticker price.
Furniture here is clutch if you’re looking for a fun statement piece and if you get really lucky you can find some cute clothes as well.
I’m a Maxxinista for life.

Ok, stopped in here on a whim. Great selection and the staff are really nice !! Check it out!

I had a great experience at this store. Theresa Ekengren spent a lot of time and helped me to find everything that I needed and I left very pleased. There should be more Associates like Theresa!
I will be back to shop there again.

Omg omg OMG. Amazing TJs! Fabulous clothes and home goods. To top it off THEY ALLOW DOGS like most georgetown stores. My White Shepherd n I walk here and shop on the weekends. He gets exercise n new toys and mommy gets to shop!!! Fabulous stock… AMAZING STAFF! I can’t give it any more stars BUT I WOULD!

It’s a big store but I can not find anything I want to purchase somehow. It’s in a popular area. i should go there much earlier to find something nice, I guess. They are pretty average.

I have stopped in this TJ Maxx twice while wandering through Georgetown. Their selection is very nice and they carry quite a few high-​end brands. In my experience, the security guards are very polite and outgoing and they greet you when you enter and leave the store. This is definitely a place to check for bargains every few weeks.

This is an amazing TJ maxx and they have a great handbag, jewelry and shoe selection. But what I really love about this store is the staff! So friendly, so helpful– they are great!

This TJ Maxx is unlike the other TJ Maxx’s at which I have shopped– perhaps because they are not just a TJ Maxx, but a TJ Maxx with a Home Goods. Makes sense then that the selection of home items is stupendous. That is the most incredible part of this store. They have brands of non-​perishable food items that grace the shelves of local small organic markets and larger groceries. I love the selection of items like raw vegan snacks, gluten free cookies, organic high quality cooking oils, artisanal pasta sauces, tea leaves/​tea bags, coffee, candy, chocolate, sweetness, snack foods (chips), cereals (granola) and spices. It’s impressive, and the prices are lower by a fair amount for almost everything! I had not intended to buy any food on my most recent visit, but a few of my new favorite organic small food labels were there, and at a great price!
As for the rest of the store, well, it’s in Georgetown. This causes it to have a far better selection than other stores, I think because of the location. Also, interestingly enough, as you walk in and exit, the security personnel greet and wish you well. The staff is polite and helpful.
The store is less crowded by the racks of clothes and shelves of items compared to other stores. It is also far more organized! I saw several staff members tidying up with great attention to detail — this is so not the norm from my experience at TJ Maxx stores!
While what they have to offer tend to be nicer clothing brands of higher designer quality, I do wish that the prices were lower. It actually seems to me that the prices are higher and there are fewer clearance sections compared to other TJ Maxx stores, thus the 4 stars instead of 5. Still, there are some great choices here for formal or casual dresses, work clothes and denim.
The skin, hair and body toiletries are a great option here if you have some specific brands that you like or are interested in trying some new ones that maybe you have noticed, but have not purchased, because aside from TJ Maxx, the prices are too high? I regularly buy my favorite brand of organic hair care here because the price is so much lower.
I am here every so often, and their selection and prices will keep me coming back.

I really love this store! The homeware selections are awesome! I could spend all day here. They even have unrefined coconut oil among a million other things. There are always items I want to buy and i usually end up leaving with much more than I came for. I also love the bath and body sections. They offer cool brands that are either normally really expensive or you’ve never heard of so I can to try everything!
The clothing and shoe sections can use some work though. They’re always really sparse but everything else is brilliant.
Parking is tricky in Georgetown but we seem to get lucky and usually find a spot right outside. The staff is really friendly and helpful.

The front-​door greeter: I expect him every time I go and look forward to his Hellos.
The selection: pretty good. I have found great stuff for incredible prices. The runway section is a favorite of mine, too. I don’t shop there often but it’s nice to have a store that has the selection, especially in a place like georgetown.
The store associates: I had to kick off 2 stars because of that. They’re rather rambunctious, vulgar, and rude to each other. Not necessarily to the customers but they scream slang to each other in the store and walk around in groups as if they are hanging out during their shift. it made me uncomfortable, to say the least.
One time I saw a manager confront a store associate and asked them to straighten out the shoe section. The associate was «sorting» (barely) athletic wear and said «no» and «i need help». The associate was rather unenthused and was asked to go in the back office with the manager.
Another time, I had to wait 15 mins to see a ring when I was the only one at the jewelry counter because the associate was talking to her buddy who had stopped by.
She was very nice, but still — that’s a long wait.
I feel like I am being eyed down by some of the associates but I’ll continue to shop here since the selection is usually good.

4.5 stars. Cannot rave enough about the quality of the clothes and Home Goods sections. Wow. This is an upscale TJMaxx. I shop here for everything: beauty products, shoes, leather gloves, scarves, purses, designer clothes, kitchen items, rugs, furniture, pillows, sheets, towels — everything! I should be doing their PR.
There’s only one other TJ in my life: Trader Joes. With these two TJs in close proximity, I am one happy woman!

Honey do! This is the crème de la crème of T.J. Maxx and Homegoods, baybee. This place, particularly the T.J. Maxx side of the store, reminds me of the Century 21 Department stores in NYC. They have HIGH END clothing. I’m talking $ 1,000 Georgio Armani jackets, but for affordable prices. Well, as affordable as Armani can get.
I am no in-​store shopper. I’m the girl who comes home at least once a week to a package at my door, because I really prefer online shopping. I cannot stand fighting with people for space or combing through racks or trying on clothes in nasty fitting rooms. But guess who went piece by piece on each and every rack that had my size up in this place? ME! ME! *raises hand* I tried on clothes, slipping them over my head in front of mirrors. Sounds ratchet, right? Don’t worry, you’ll be doing it, too and you’ll be in company. Its T.J. Maxx NOT Bergdorfs. Slide that sweater over your head to see if it fits and keep it moving!
This place is where all the really nice ish goes. If you’re a Maxxinista, Fashionista, or any other type of –ista… do yourself a favor and go visit this place. You won’t regret it.
Now, trying to get here and parking can be a complete and total nightmare, as Georgetown is a tourist attraction and area favorite to us locals. So, be prepared to do a little walking and don’t wear your high heels unless you like prancing around in heels on cobbled sidewalks and streets. Dress comfortable and be prepared to find a few gems.
HAPPY SHOPPING!

Make no mistake that this was a strategic decision to put a TJ Maxx and HomeGoods in Georgetown for the incoming college students and seasonal tourists. The selection varies week to week and by its nature, finding something is a hit or a miss. Sometimes, I find a good deal on Levi jeans in the clearance section for $ 10.00, but most of the time I exit the shop empty-​handed. The only HomeGoods aisle I visit is the food section and while they have a good selection of olive oils, healthy food, and junk food, I rarely have bought any food from this TJ Maxx location.
Bottom line: Good location, but chances of finding something good is next to nil because anything that was worth buying has already been purchased. It really is the luck of the draw and knowing when they have a fresh inventory.

I like this TJ Maxx & HomeGoods store; I am both glad it’s not closer and wish it was.
There is a large selection of home products which I like to peruse because they have a good variety and are pretty well organized. Shopping for clothes here overwhelms me and requires patience so I usually stick to the home products.
On Friday night, there weren’t many people shopping so it was a lot easier to maneuver the aisles, but I’ve been here around the holidays, and this place gets packed!
I hope they are not closing for a Forever 21. That would be a shame.

I wish this place were here when I was a Georgetown student. Georgetown has lots of great shops and high end brands, which makes the neighborhood very trendy. Let’s face it though, as a college student, I couldn’t really afford it on my own. If the store were here back then, I would have been able to buy clothes for, say, a decent internship without having to eat ramen for a couple days as a sacrifice.
It’s much cleaner and more organized that your typical TJ Maxx, though I don’t know if that’s just because it’s newer. It’s also smaller than your typical TJ Maxx, but it’s still a good chunk of space given that it’s Georgetown. I personally like having the more affordable option in city, though I hope no one else worries that it will cheapen the image of Georgetown.

This is by far the best TJMAXX I have EVER been too!
It was not the cliché discount store with merchandise over the floor, everything was organized neatly with a much wider selection than I have ever seen before.
Another great thing is that all the sales associates are very helpful and pleasant, especially the security guards at the front door.
FYI: the checkout on the first floor is usually always line free, so go there, and you’re right out of the door!

This review is for the foods section.
They have a huge gluten free baked goods and baking mix section. I was able to get both gluten free snickerdoodles and gluten free biscotti. I was debating between 5 baking mixes but decided to just use the ones I have at home first. I was overwhelmed by my options, and obviously being at a discount I wanted to buy everything.
I was pleasantly surprised and thanks to this store my GF baked goods intake has increased. :)

I was actually rather shocked to find out if there is a TJ Maxx in downtown Georgetown. I know they closed the Georgetown Mall a while back, but I did not realize this is what they put there afterwards. I will say, this is the most upscale TJ Maxx that I’ve ever been in.
Normally when you go to a Marshall’s or TJ Maxx, a lot of the inventory is shuffled about and kind of a mess. That is not the case it this location. Everything is organized on neat shelves and the floor plan was very open. And of course there’s a much larger home goods section in this location compared to a normal Marshall’s. Since they’re the same company, I associate them together.
In the end, I was able to do a lot of impulse shopping. They have a large food section and gluten-​free section, and that was heavily discounted. TJ Maxx is not the typical Georgetown and M Street store, but it’s definitely worth a visit if not for the mere windowshopping.

Cyndy’s Bottom Line: Great to see TJMaxx & Homegoods in Georgetown.
Refreshing to see more shopping options available in Georgetown. Great selection of merchandise at awesome prices.
