History

The first T.K. Maxx opened in Bristol in 1994.[2] In 2006, the 210th store opened. T.K. Maxx's United States parent company, T.J. Maxx, adopted the name T.K. Maxx to avoid confusion with the existing but separate discount chain T J Hughes[citation needed].

In 2007 T.K. Maxx will begin a slowing down of new store openings within the UK. Focus will be given to revamping older inner city stores and developing individual brands, such as Kids Maxx and HomeSense.[citation needed] The company also intends expansion into the German market. The first store in Germany opened on 4 October 2007 in Lübeck.[3] The chain hopes that this will be more successful than the company's earlier attempt at opening stores in the Netherlands between 1999 and 2001.

In the UK in 2007 T.K. Maxx was an active participant of Comic Relief, having been the sole retailer of the Red Nose Day t-shirts which generated £2 million to the Comic Relief cause.[4]

In October 2008, T.K. Maxx will be opening its largest UK store store in Leeds.[citation needed]

Credit card fraud

In March 2007, the company was at the centre of major credit card fraud. Details of customers’ credit cards and debit cards were accessed by computer hackers, exposing 45 million customers to potential theft from their accounts. According to the company this affected customers who used their card between January 2003 and June 2004 at any branch of T.K. Maxx.[5] Outside security provider Protegrity has estimated that T.K. Maxx's losses as a result of the data breach may reach £800 million in the years to come. The losses would come as a result of paying for credit checks and administrative costs for managing the fallout from the breach.[6]
