[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]TJ Maxx and Marshall's have the same parent company.

Parent company is betting on improved results in a revived location.

If there's only 1 of the 2, instead of both, that's not a big financial add to the community.  Just stronger results for the parent corporation.

TJ Maxx has been doing pretty well with the kind of shopper who browses as a pastime and buys more than expected.  I do shop at TJ Maxx myself.  However, it's pretty downscale.  I've never been to any of the rumored high-end TJ Maxxes that have real designer stuff.  This isn't going to get FH to where it used to be.[/quote]

There's Tiffany, Saks, Brooks Brothers and a Porsche showroom in FH. Fancy enough for you?[/quote]

Don't you find it odd to have a TJ Maxx near a Saks?[/quote]

I think it's perfect. I go to Tiffany for anniversaries and baby showers.  Brooks Brothers for DH's work clothes, Saks for mine. TJ Maxx for the kids and our everyday clothes.  It's all in the mix![/quote]

It was even wilder when Neiman Marcus used to be there as well.

My #1 complaint about FH is that it is impossible to create a coordinated plan that includes both the DC and MD side and each little area has different owners.

You have the random parking lot behind the new Mazza which has never been used, the massive parking lot for Saks that could be used…now the GEICO plaza that can be redeveloped.

Kind of a crazy amount of space so close in to the city.

Wish a Costco could replace the Geico area which would serve as an anchor to bring in the crowds…of course, that would never happen.

If we’re talking about the same space, the now rarely used parking lot across from Lord & Taylor was their second lot. Lord & Taylor and Saks — which has lot space on each side of the store, both pre-date Metro. Those stores — along with Woodies and Hecht’s — each had separate, ample parking for their customers.  It is a lot of space, but Friendship Heights — and, actually, most of DC, was very different before Metro.[/quote]
