Black Friday 2025 — What to Expect

If you’re used to hunting for deals on Black Friday, you might wonder whether TJ Maxx is worth a stop this year. Unfortunately, TJ Maxx, like Ross and Marshalls, usually doesn’t run any real Black Friday sales. Shoppers looking for huge doorbusters or storewide discounts won’t find them here.

The main reason TJ Maxx skips Black Friday deals is simple. Everything in the store is already priced lower than regular retail. That means there’s no need to mark items down further. Unlike other retailers, they don’t offer extra coupons, big discounts, or special sales events on Black Friday. The prices you see are essentially as low as they get.

Small Perks Only

While you won’t find major discounts, TJ Maxx does sometimes offer small perks. In the past, they have given free shipping for online orders at tjmaxx.com on Black Friday. Occasionally, there’s a small gift for early shoppers. For example, in past years the first 300 customers got a free tote bag at checkout. It’s possible they’ll offer something similar in 2025, but it’s not guaranteed.

Store Hours

Even though there’s no big sale, TJ Maxx stores are typically open early on Black Friday for anyone who wants to browse. Opening times usually start at 7:00am and stores stay open until 11:00pm. This is a bit longer than their normal 9:30am to 9:30pm schedule. All locations remain closed on Thanksgiving to allow employees to spend time with their families. Exact hours may vary by location, and some might adjust based on local health guidelines.

Why It Matters

Shoppers might still ask employees about Black Friday deals, but the answer will always be the same. TJ Maxx doesn’t run sales on that day because it’s already a discount store. If you’re at the mall and curious, it’s worth stopping by to see what’s available, but don’t expect the traditional Black Friday frenzy.

In short, TJ Maxx focuses on everyday low prices rather than one-time sales events. That’s why Black Friday at TJ Maxx is more about convenience and browsing than scoring a special deal.
