DeKalb residents no longer need to search for places to spend their hard-earned money: T.J. Maxx will be opening Sunday.

The retail chain will host a grand opening from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Oakland Place shopping center, located along Sycamore and Barber Greene roads.

The store specializes in low-priced merchandise, offering 10,000 new items each week including fashions for the family and the home.

“Our buyers travel all over the world to get new things for the store,” spokeswoman Renee Katziff said.

No sales are set to take place on opening day, Katziff said, because the store’s prices are set at sale price all the time.

“Our stores do very well,” Katziff said. “People get very excited when they hear that TJ Maxx is coming.”

Last week’s tragedies may affect the business’ opening, but store representatives are optimistic.

“We continue to do very well,” Katziff said. “Even in troubling times.”

TJ Maxx is not the only store set to open soon in DeKalb: Borders Books and Music, Pier One Imports and Michaels are being built near TJ Maxx.

TJ Maxx will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sundays. For more information, call 756-1400.
