TJ Maxx is moving to new space on Route 58.
The off-price clothing and home fashions retail store, longtime tenant at the Roanoke Plaza shopping center is moving to the store formerly occupied by Christmas Tree Shops, at 1791 Old Country Road.
The Riverhead Planning Board last night granted site plan approval to proposed changes to the facade of the building. Approval by the town’s Architectural Review Board is still pending.
The retailer’s new home is in the 119,000-square-foot shopping center built in 2013 by Saber Riverhead, where other tenants include Dick’s Sporting Goods, Aldi, Buffalo Wild Wings, Five Below and Starbucks. It is across the highway from Home Goods and Marshalls, two other national retailers owned by the publicly traded TJX Companies.
TJ Maxx is presently the anchor tenant in the largest store in Roanoke Plaza, one of Route 58’s oldest shopping centers, once home to an A&P supermarket and a Pergament Home Center store.
Town Planner Heather Trojanowski told Planning Board members that the town is not yet aware of any future tenant for the space being vacated by TJ Maxx.
Christmas Tree Shops closed its doors last summer after a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. All 70 Christmas Tree Shops locations nationwide were shuttered.
