TJ Maxx Opens at Groton Shoppers Mart on May 7th

National off-price retailer’s grand opening marks a transformative milestone for Groton Shoppers Mart and the residents of Groton,CT.

Groton, CT, May 7, 2026 — The Sigmund Companies (“TSC”) today announced the grand opening of TJ Maxx at Groton Shoppers Mart, the 171,858-square-foot open-air shopping center located in Groton, Connecticut. The opening represents a landmark milestone in TSC’s ongoing initiative to reposition the center as a premier retail destination for the Groton community and the region it serves.

TSC believes that TJ Maxx’s arrival at Groton Shoppers Mart is a direct result of its dedication to a strategic approach to leasing and the broader revitalization effort underway at the center since its acquisition. TJ Maxx is well-positioned to complement the center’s growing momentum as Groton’s preeminent retail destination.

“The opening of TJ Maxx at Groton Shoppers Mart is a proud moment for our team and for the Town of Groton,” said D. Wright Sigmund, Managing Partner of The Sigmund Companies. “When we acquired this center, we made a commitment to this community to bring in best-in-class national retailers and create a shopping environment that Groton residents can be proud of. TJ Maxx’s grand opening is a tangible demonstration of that promise.”

Groton Shoppers Mart serves as the community’s central retail hub, anchored by Big Y, CVS Pharmacy, Chase Bank, Starbucks, and other nationally recognized convenience and necessity-oriented retailers. TJ Maxx joins this established roster of trusted national brands, further diversifying the center’s tenant mix and meaningfully enhancing the overall shopping experience.

“TJ Maxx is exactly the kind of tenant that elevates a shopping center and energizes a community,” added D. Wright Sigmund, Managing Partner of The Sigmund Companies. “Their brand resonates deeply with value-driven shoppers, and we are confident this opening will drive meaningful traffic to the center and serve as a catalyst for continued growth and investment in the Town of Groton. This is what we envisioned when we acquired Groton Shoppers Mart, and we are just getting started.”
