TK Maxx marks three decades of trusted quality, style and value: Celebrating 30 years of TK Maxx in Bristol
TK Maxx marks its 30th birthday this year, after opening the first UK store in Bristol in 1994.
Three decades ago, the first ever UK TK Maxx store opened in The Galleries Shopping Centre in Bristol, and radically changed the way Britons shopped.
Thirty years later, and with 358 stores across the UK, TK Maxx continues to offer a unique treasure hunt shopping experience, and customers continue to enjoy the huge assortment of big brands and designer labels at up to 60% less than the RRP. TK Maxx has remained a hero of the high-street for thirty years by keeping value and quality at the heart of the business.
Deborah Dolce, Group Director at TK Maxx, who has been at the company for 30 years herself, said, “Reflecting on TK Maxx’s 30th anniversary, it’s brilliant to see how our dedication to unrivalled value and quality has truly shaped our journey.
From our roots in The Galleries Shopping Centre to our expansion to more than 700 stores across Europe, our commitment to providing customers with an unbeatable treasure hunt shopping experience has remained at the heart of who we are.
Alongside our success, we are proud to have been active over the years in many charity and community endeavours, from our Cancer Research UK clothing recycling scheme to our Comic Relief partnership, to supporting hundreds of local community organisations.
Our growth wouldn’t have been possible without the passion and dedication of our staff, as well as the loyalty and support of our customers over the past three decades, for which we are truly grateful. Thank you to everyone. As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue delighting our customers with amazing finds at unbeatable prices for many years to come.”
The original Bristol TK Maxx store was relocated in 2019 to a larger site in Bristol Shopping Quarter and now employs over 60 associates, one of whom has been there since the opening day in 1994.
Karen Green, a Bristol store associate who joined the first UK TK Maxx team in 1994, is one of a number of staff in the business who have been with the company since it launched in the UK 30 years ago. She said: “It’s an amazing achievement to reach thirty years with TK Maxx, and I still love my job just as much as I did when I first started.
Shopping has changed over the years, and a lot of shops have come and gone in Bristol, but TK Maxx has always remained popular in the city and it’s the customers that really make my job worthwhile”.
Since 1994, TK Maxx has expanded across Europe with 644 stores in Ireland, Germany, Poland, Austria and The Netherlands. Thirty years later and TK Maxx remains the go-to destination for big brands, amazing value and trusted quality both in-store and online.
