T.J. Maxx has signed a lease to open a new
23,000-square-foot store in a retail building at Brookside Marketplace in Tinley
Park that was home to the Lane Bryant store, where five women were murdered in
2008.
Ohio-based DDR Corp. owns and manages the retail center at
191st Street and Harlem Avenue.
One business in the building, Massage Envy, relocated into a
3,500-square-foot storefront at the north end as part of a reconfiguration of
the space to allow T.J. Maxx to occupy the center of the building. Massage Envy
opened in its new space on May 15.
Other tenants in the building include Cici Nails, Sally
Beauty Supply and Performance Dental, who occupy space on the south end. There
are two vacancies.
That part of Brookside Marketplace has lagged behind the
rest of the development since February 2008, when a gunman killed five women
inside the Lane Bryant store during a robbery gone wrong. The gunman has not
been caught.
Matt Schuler, a spokesman for DDR, confirmed that T.J. Maxx
signed a lease but had no details on when the new store would be opening.
TJX Companies, which owns T.J. Maxx, also operates a
HomeGoods store at Brookside Marketplace.
The new T.J. Maxx is not the only new store coming to that
part of Brookside Marketplace.
The new T.J. Maxx store will be the second location in
Tinley Park, at least temporarily.
The discount retailer already operates a 32,000-square-foot
T.J. Maxx in Tinley Park Plaza at 159th Street and Harlem Avenue.
T.J. Maxx employees said the store would be moving out of
Tinley Park Plaza into a new location within the village and the mall’s site
plan indicated that location would be available in February 2015.
TJX officials declined to comment on whether the new store
opening was related to the existing store’s closing.
“At this time, we have not made any announcements about Tinley
Park,” Doreen Thompson, vice president of corporate communications for TJX
Companies, said in an email.
